BOTB 1.25.15

By Kate Riley January 25, 2015

I’ve been out of it for a couple days, I finally had my Lasik eye surgery (had to delay my original appointment) and it wiped me out for 48 hours but wow, it’s amazing that I can seeeeeee! I see mountains and leaves and birds and details I couldn’t see before without glasses or contacts, it’s life changing! I needed to rest for a couple of days, hence the belated Best of the Blogosphere … enjoy the latest roundup of inspiring projects and spaces!

  1. So happy your surgery went well. My mom, sister, hubby and other relatives have had it done and are amazed and thrilled with the difference. Glad you are too. Great highlights too. That buffet is fantastic!!

  2. You will continue to love your Lysik had mine over 10 years ago and it is still really great. To be able to see clearly is better than any liposuction, facelift, or other cosmetic procedure love your blog and hope that your eyes are all that you want them to be.

    • Thanks Carla and JJ – so far it’s great, eyes were sore the first 48 hours but a miracle procedure for sure!
