lasik surgery = $2400 per eye. wow. :) i'm still comsidering it. i need to have my eyes looked at by an opthamologist (?) to have them tested and be sure that they are ok to have this done to them. and the $2400 does cover all the checkups and such for a year, so it's pretty reasonable, i suppose. (laugh)but still - eep.

off to the used bookstore, once josh has finished lunch.

successfully did a budget, which i'll be on starting september, since that's when I'll have a steady income again. and it seems reasonable, and it *seems* to account for frivolous spending (of a limited amount). we'll see how it works.

checked my mom's & step-father's cell phones - the contract ends in december. which if mom doesn't have the money to pay me by then (I've been absorbing the cost for about 2-3 months, now) i'm discontinuing hers, at least. i know, it's crazy. if she *does* have the money to pay me, i'm going to suggest that she switch to verizon - she and paul could both get a cellphone, and do a family plan, have cellphone access at home (which they don't currently, but I do at their house, and I have a verizon phone) and still save $20 a month. which would be cool. granted, they would be sharing their daytime minutes, but they don't really use their daytime minutes at all right now. so i think it would be a better deal.

Since sambear and I largely use our cellphones to stay in touch with each other, we have the Voicestream family plan. Time spent talking to each other is free (maybe to any Voicestream user, but I'm not sure about that). Weekends are also free. We haven't ever used up the monthly minutes, which we share. It's certainly the best plan for the money for us, although Sam isn't wholly happy with the phones we got.

michaelrender recently had lasik. so there is someone you could talk to about it that actually had it. he posted quite a unique and interesting description of the actual process...
