i've been wearing my last pair of contact lens' for almost six weeks now. they're only supposed to be used for a month, then thrown away, but since i'm a master procrastinator, i didn't go to reorder them until last night.

i get my contacts from costco 'cos they're really cheap there. i was totally expecting to go in, pay for another three month supply, and walk out with two new boxes of contacts, but, unfortunately, they don't stock my prescription, so now i have to wait another week before they come in. and then once they come in, i have to make *another* trip to the costco. damn. i just hope my eyes don't develop some exotic infection caused by leaving them in too long. (and i wonder why i have so many problems with my eyes.)

i leave the optical department disappointed, but decide that since i'm already there, i mind as well look around and see if there's anything else worth buying. i figured i could probably find a couple more christmas gifts and maybe some supplies for the house.

i bought a football, a couple of bath towels, a pair of brand new pillows (which made my sleep last night ever so comfortable), a 48 count box of assorted cookies for the office, coffee for the office, an assorted bag of 50 christmas bows and a gift sized box of chocolate (in case i need a present for someone in a jiffy)...

so i get to the checkout counter, and you know how there are times when you meet a stranger and you know you'll probably never ever see that person again, and you feel it's absolutely alright to tell bald-faced lies? well, the cashier told me that i looked like a musician and asked if i was in a band. (note: no one has *ever* said i looked like a musician before). and so, knowing i could lie and not get into any trouble or be found out, i said, 'sure, i'm in a band. we haven't played any gigs yet...we're just 'jamming''...and he asks if we need a drummer and i say, 'sure, let me have your number and i'll give you a call when we're ready'...heh. and you know what? i *know* enough people who are musicians or are in bands and i should be, too. now if only i could sing and/or play something. ahhh, details.

so if anyone asks, i'm the singer/guitarist of a 'band' called 'the lazy day society'. hahaha.
