i have a headache...what's new? emily worries about them, but i think that it's the scratched up lenses on my glasses. i absolutely hate wearing contacts; at least the disposable ones that i've been buying for the last two years. i've worn contacts for almost seventeen years now, and even when i used to wear them for weeks at a time (lazy high school days) they didn't make my eyes feel tired like these do. of course that effect is only amplified in smoke-filled rooms. when wearing, i never leave home without re-wetting drops. anyway, yeah ---i hate contacts.

so what to do tonight? i guess we'll rent a movie, stay in with the kids, chinese take-out actually sounds good...although i don't really enjoy any of the chinese food in our area. it just all tastes that same. it's almost as bad as ordering "stir-fry" from, like, say a truck stop. if you haven't had the pleasure of ordering something like that from such a place, don't. the best chinese restaurant near here is in paducah, ky, about an hour away, called chong's. it's incredible, so i highly recommend.
