I was just thinking about her after reading Shaun's latest response in the Way to Indicate Reread thread. lol

Congratulations on completing your second book of the year!
What did you think of Game of Thrones? I'm assuming it's not just the page count that turned you off to the series. I don't think I'd enjoy it, myself, but every once in a while I get curious.

Thank you! :)
Oh! Yeah, all of the Game of Thrones books are huge arb;t they? Is the short story collection as long of a listen as GoT is a read?

That was great Christa!

Like Panda, I'm excited for you to read more books so that I can see what you add next on your blog!

Okay. I'll stop sulking now, and plot my revenge instead. :)

Best of luck with your challenge."

Why do you want to p*ss me off!?! :( What did I do to you.
*Walks away feeling sad & confused*

I used to only wear my glasses for driving as well, but then my eyesight changed, and my ophthalmologist said I should wear them full time. Then my sight changed again and yay - bifocals.

Which is why it made sense (at the time) for you to take them with you.

I understand your pain with dealing with astigmatisms. To make matters worse, I'm now supposed to wear bifocals but I just can't get used to the suckers. I end up not wearing my glasses at all (which really isn't the best idea).
