5 On Friday

5 on Friday is going to be my 'Lazy Man's 10 on Tuesday'. And no, I wasn't tagged to do this, which I think is how it usually starts. Nope, I'm bringing this on myself. I've been slacking in the blogging department and thought this might be the kick start I need. And the thing I like about it is that it requires no photos. I still have lots of posts to write about our Europe trip, but those require lots of photo uploads & figuring what order to put them in, plus referencing the travel journal, plus writing. And lately that's just too daunting of a task so I don't even start.

Since I wasn't tagged, I don't actually know the official rules of 'The Lazy Man's 10 on Tuesday'. I'm just going by what I see on Erin's Blog. From what I can tell, these are supposed to be random, whatever's happening/on my mind at the time. Free for all. No matter how miniscule or momentous - anything goes. So let's begin.

1. My eyes are freaks of nature - they just don't like contacts. I've tried the monthly 'tougher' contacts, and the daily 'moist' contacts, and both make my eyes as dry as the desert. Irritated & blood shot within a couple hours. And considering I usually wear them to 'special events', people must think I'm totally hammered or high when they look at my eyes.

2. Next week I have an orthodontist consultation. Yes, I am going to be a dreaded 'Adult With Braces'. Hopefully I'm a good candidate for the 'invisilign' braces, because they are a lot less noticeable, and more importantly, I can take them out to eat, brush & floss. I figure most people will think it's odd that I want braces, because my teeth aren't that bad. Maybe people will think I'm really vain or something. So, for the record, I don't expect straight teeth to magically turn me into a supermodel. But, I do hope they make me less self conscious when I smile and less afraid to see pictures of myself smiling. Not to mention the fact that I have a weird bite and my teeth are just plain uncomfortable in my mouth.

3. I eat out almost every day at lunch time, and it needs to stop.

4. My favorite shows on TV right now are Big Brother, So You Think You Can Dance, The Mole and Denise Richards: It's Complicated (which is a terrible show by the way, I'm just oddly drawn to Denise Richards). I am a reality show junkie. Last night I found a new one called 'The Greatest American Dog'. One of the contestants is a Boxer named Presley. Fantastic.

5. Starting today I'm going to get back on the 'exercise' bandwagon. Stay tuned for next week's "5 on Friday" to see how that turns out.
