I Really Need New Glasses.

I think it is time for me to get new glasses. I have had the same ones since 2007. I got them when I was in Florida. Since I am nearsighted I have to get prescription eyeglasses. I know you are supposed to get an eye exam every year or every two years at the latest. I don’t think that my eyes have changed because I can still see fine when I am wearing them. If I don’t wear them I can’t see very far very well and I start squinting. Noah will say something when I am not wearing my glasses. He will ask me where they are or get them for me. I normally wear them all the time. So, it’s mornings when I haven’t put them on or if I have been chopping onions. When I chop onions the vapors get stuck in my glasses and it is always too late before I take them off. I have to ask someone to take them off for me. Sticking my onion fingers close to my eyes is a bad idea.

I keep meaning to make an eye appointment because I need a new pair. I would also like to get contacts for when I am out and still wear my glasses at home. I would like to get a different kind of frames this time. My last two pairs have been wire frames. I had the plastic frames when I was younger. I like to look online for glasses. I think it would be cool to order glasses from my home and not be limited to just the frames that are in the stores. I am sure it would be cheaper because you wouldn’t have to pay all the extra fees when buying them in the store. There have been a few times that I went to get frames where I had to wait to get them because they were not ready, which meant another trip to the eye doctor. When I got the eyeglasses I have now, my eye doctor was 30 minutes away, then I had to wait in line to be waited on and fitted. Noah was with me and it was not a pleasant experience to say the least. Noah was cranky and needed a nap. I was not really in the mood to ride in the car for a hour a few days after I was there.

I would love to not have to deal with that again. I like to go and get things done in one trip. I would really shop online for everything if I could, and have it sent to my house. When I do finally make it to the eye doctor, I will probably just get my prescription and buy my glasses from GlassesUSA.com. I have no idea how to read a glasses prescription so I would just send it to them and have their experts read it for me. They have a lot of designer frames that I could see myself wearing. They even have prescription sunglasses. I don’t wear sunglasses but I know I probably should start.

Engreener Review


Noah loves fresh fruit and I love fresh fruit and vegetables. Noah loves to eat apples with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on it. When I am giving him fresh fruit, I am always concerned about washing the fruit carefully to get off any pesticide or dirt. I had the opportunity to try out a product called Engreener. The Engreener is a fruit and vegetable cleaner. Engreenger uses ultrasonic waves and ozone functions in one device, eliminates bacteria that can be missed with traditional rinsing. The Engreener Kills 94.9% of bacteria on fruits, vegetables, and other objects. It does not use detergents.



Here is some information from the website about the ozone and sonic waves process:

How is the ozone applied?

No bacteria can mutate from ozone.

It directly splits and kills the cells on contact.
Ozonated water is approved by the FDA as an effective sanitizer against microorganisms.
Kills Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli and Shgella dysenteriae which exist in air and water.
Keeps fruit and vegetable fresh.
Decomposes residue of agri-chemicals on fruits and vegetables.
Decomposes chloride found in tab water.
Cleans polluted waste water.

Researches by American scientists have also found that the cancer cell activities become slower after being in contact with the ozone, justifying the wide application of the ozone in our day to day life.

How is ultrasonic waves applied?

They have been used for earning purpose in many different industries. The ultrasonic waves in the water cause a phenomenon known as cativattion and it is the rapid formation and violent collapse of micron-sized bubbles in a liquid medium. These tiny implosions provide excellent cleaning power, as well as killing germs.
The Ultrasonic waves eliminate most of pesticides used on apples, such as Parathion and EPN & Captan and a fungicide, used on grapes and/or cabbage.

Ultrasonic waves are used to remove agricultural chemicals from fruits and vegetables easily and efficiently.




What you do is you put your fruit or vegetables in a bowl of water and you turn it on. Each fruit and vegetable has a specific numbers of cycles. It is really east to use. You just stick it in the water and hold it. You occasionally move it around, If you can use a large spoon you can use Engreener.

This is such a cool product. I have used it quite a few times. I washed apples, asparagus and potatoes. I found it really fun to use too. I am always afraid that I didn’t wash the food properly and now with Engreener, I know that it is clean and healthier for my family. The cycles are pretty short, so it is not a long process to clean them. You can also use Engreener on your children’s toys. I think that everyone who enjoys fresh food should have Engreener. I will use this product in everyday life without second guessing if my fresh fruit and vegetables are clean.

I Belive in Miracles...Do you?

Miracles happen every day. I am a firm believer of miracles, not because I have heard about them on the news or from a friend of a friend but because I have witnessed them with my own eyes. I want to tell you about a couple miracles in hopes that you will believe in them too.

My ex-husband’s aunt, who was like another mother to me, is an amazing woman. I would talk to her for hours on the phone with, she always had a hug waiting for me. She was truly inspirational. She and her husband Mike had a houseboat. We spent part of our honeymoon on the houseboat with them. A couple months later was the annual family houseboat trip and we all had a great time until my ex’s cousins decided to go water skiing. We stayed on the houseboat because we didn’t really have the desire to go. The weather started to turn nasty. We were playing cards with his cousin and his cousins girl friend, all the sudden his uncle showed up and was yelling where is my cell phone someone call 911. My ex’s aunt was struck by lightning while on the speed boat. We had no idea what was going to happen. We didn’t know if she was going to make it. She was transported to a hospital by helicopter and stayed in the hospital for two weeks. She lived through being struck by lightning. The only damage to her was a spot of burnt hair where the lightning exited her body. If that is not a miracle, I don’t know what is.

When I had my miscarriage I had to have a d and c because my body thought I was still pregnant, even though my baby had passed away from the septum. The doctor noticed that I had a septum in my uterus. The doctor made the decision to try and remove it during my d and c. I started bleeding really bad so he stopped and my blood pressure was really low. They were talking about blood transfusion and everyone was really scared. It was supposed to be a couple hour hospital stay turned in to a 36 hour stay. I was really out of it. I remember my pastor John anointing me and my blood pressure started rising and the bleeding stopped. I remember only a few things from that night, that being one of them.

I do believe in miracles, I do believe that God can perform miracles. I think a miracle can happen to anyone who believes.
