Twitchy eyelid

Standard

Anybody ever have this problem and it doesn’t resolve itself in a few days? Mine’s been twitching since Florida. I can actually make it twitch if I ‘over’ blink that eye(right). It’s definitely just the upper lid twitching. Not sure if I rubbed my eye too hard or if it’s just an annoying thing. I may call the eye doctor just to see. Forget about research on the internet, they scare you by saying it could be a ‘neurological problem’. I actually thought it was a PMS thing. Not too sure about that. It seems like parts on the right side of my body tend to bother me the most and I am left-handed. Go figure.

I told you about Sean’s new car, but not that we found several ads quoting the exact car at a much lower price. Without taxes, about $360 less! Brian called the dealership and the manager said that all the ads were misprints. Even the one on the internet. He’s full of you-know-what. So we were debating what to do. Mom mentioned Tracy Davidson, the Consumer Reporter for NBC1o here in Philly. I went to the Consumer complaint form and filled it out. I messed up some of the numbers, but the paperwork wasn’t here in front of me. I forgot Brian had copied it for the insurance company and I went to write back to correct myself and Tracy had written back to confirm our problem. That’s when I quoted her the correct prices. Crossing fingers!!!!
Update:Nothing new from Tracy. Wonder if me quoting the wrong prices messed that up for us?

Off to Penn State to talk to a lady in the Learning Center about Sean’s classes. We still aren’t sure what that is all about. I’ll let you know.
Update: Sean is recommended to participate in an 30 hour ‘seminar’ to help improve mostly his math skills. He can to this from the end of June until August. He’ll probaby go for 5 hour stretches for 6 times. I think they basically want to see if he can handle the math for his major. He was really annoyed at first because ‘his summer would be interrupted’.

My toe, my hero!

This little piggie saved me from serious injury when I slipped in the tub due to a freaky thing happening (ok, the spray bottle with the shower spray stuff came apart and I slipped on it’s contents). It looks better now-it’s not broken. : ) Posted by Hello

Reality finales…very predictable

Standard

I watch a bunch of these. I like watching ‘real’ people in predicaments and wondering how I would handle it if I was in their place. Here are the shows that have ended so far and one more I will make a prediction for.
No brainer winners:
Survivor-Tom was one of the best contestants that this show has ever had. He was like a beacon on that island from day one. How many people can kill a shark with a handmade spear? We all know that NY firemen are heroes anyway.
The Amazing Race-It looked like Rob and Amber had this win in the bag. They had gotten on a flight that would have given them an hour’s lead over the other two teams who were left. Surprise, surprise, the pilot had the jetway reattached and let Uchenna and Joyce on. U&J found the next clue much faster than ‘Ramber’ so they won the million.
The Apprentice– Last week it was clear that Kendra, the young and single real estate big cheese out shone the Mary Kay mom was Iowa, Tana (I have never met another Tana). Heck, I’m just glad a woman won. The finale was really a waste of time and rather silly.
American Idol-Sean is more of a fan of this show. I like music a lot and the last couple of winners sounded too much like other famous singers. You know who I mean (Luther and Macey right?) I predict Bo Bice will win. I also see Bo and Carrie, the other finalist as a couple. Think I am a little psychic?
