I just bought new glasses. They were $85 for the frames, lenses and an eye test. Yes, $85. God bless Korea and its proximity to China. The men who worked there spoke as much English as I speak Korean. One guy was actually better than that. So the transaction involved a lot of miming and me walking around and pointing. (Mom, it was that place that you went near my house that adjusted your glasses). Anyway, I really wanted to $485 ones, Gucci I believe they were, but alas I would rather spend that on a plane ticket.

Last night I finished my latest book, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult (thanks Jacqueline!). I read it in 5 days and it was SOOO GOOD. I was sobbing like a friggin little girl who doesn't get her way at the end of it. Right when I finished, Denise told me to go on Skype. I show up on my webcam with tears and mascara running down my face. It was as if I had just been dumped by man of my dreams. I was heaving and everything. SO go read that book because it is fantastic.

Now I am inspired to study my Korean. Off to the books I go.
