I LOVE the 4
th- food, family, fireworks- my favorite things! I know I said I wasn't going to post this week, but at my family shindig my sister turned to me and said, "You look cute, let me take your picture for your blog!" Well...I was hesitant. My
lasik surgery went amazingly well! Err, the surgery part did. You have no idea how amazing it is to see one mile away (all roads in
PHX are exactly 1 mile apart in squares, it's a great place to find your way once you learn street names but I'll jump off this tangent now)...so I could see details on passing cars and tell people what kind of car was driving an entire mile away! I can see details on plants and far of mountains- it truly is a miracle and yes I did cry the morning after! I didn't have to do
PRK so I'm healing much faster. However- there was a
complication pre surgery. They fit your eye with some suction thing to get
the laser set up, and my eye didn't numb on the left. It hurt a lot, which it wasn't supposed to, until they
removed the suction and numbed it more- then it was all good. So the suction thing was fighting with my eye, and there was a lot of pressure and blood
vessels in my eye broke. I look like a zombie in my left eye, it's all red. It
embarrasses me and my nephew confirmed at the family party that I "look a little scary." So, blessed sunglasses to shield you all! It looks bad, but I do feel pretty good, just weak as my body heals. Would I
recommend lasik- more than anything! It was AMAZING! But I'm still going to take a few days I chill in my
jammies and rest. Just a couple more days, and I"ll be back in the swing of things!
PS- my shirt's print is so busy even the close up didn't come out too clear- I'll try better next time when I can totally see everything! It's all good though, you don't want too close, I can't wear make up for a week....
Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger, via
TJ Maxx, $7, Belt:
Thrifted, $2, Shorts: Gap, mega sale, $6, Shoes: Latin Market, $1.50, Sunnies: NY & Co, $3- yep all fab finds for this outfit!
I don't own a lot of yellow- purple and yellow are the colors that could use some attention next time I go shopping.... I tried to use whatever yellow I had for the weardrobe contest, and found this shirt hiding in my closet just as the time was up. Jessica of weardrobe still let me enter this outfit- what a doll! When I put on yellow I was just feeling the primary colors, but since the yellow is a unique hue I wanted to give the whole outfit a twist with a unique red and blue. I feel like I look fake next to the colors of nature with 3 bright hues! I'm also indulging myself with a 4th pic today, the lighting was awesome outside- overcast in AZ doesn't happen often- and this is the first picture in my 7 months of almost daily photography that my natural eye color came out without any help! I was happy green came out to play this day. I also noticed freckles, which I haven't had since I played soccer in high school. I guess the running outdoors is bringing out my youth again. Anyway, my vanity gets the best of me since this is the first pictures of my face I've liked in a long time- so thanks for tolerating a 4th!
