I'm still in Puerto Vallarta, but everyone else has left and I'm just killing a last half hour (and one more beer) before heading to the airport. It was a great week and I'm not really looking forward to going back to work on Monday--glad I have the weekend at home to prepare. Also not looking forward to going back on my diet, but definitely feeling like its a good idea to do so.

I always think of Conan the Barbarian when I see the word Nasalcrom or any cold remedy using the syllable crom. Perhaps it comes from Conan invoking Crom when he has a cold.

Even with the slider, I still see the light color as periwinkle or ice blue.

Once, when I shared an office a couple hours a week with a man who spoke on the phone, very loudly in SPanish, I crawled under the desk and plugged my ears so I could answer the phone and talk to customers without being distracted.

Me, too. It's like those Magic Eye posters where people claim to see a 3D image in it -- I have never in my life, not even once, seen the 3D image, so I can't quite wrap my brain around the idea that there really is one.

Same with this dress. Not once has it looked white to me, not even when it's tweaked to the lightest possible setting, and I can't figure out where people are getting white from.

My brain is a stubborn place.

It looked white to me for a second when I clicked over to the slider thing, but then my eyes fully focused and it became blue again.

Steph- I can't do Magic Eye or 3-D either! We must have similar, weird, Rods and Cones.

Woo!

OK, have applied coffee, tea, Flonase, Nasalcrom, Claritin, Aleve, miso soup, shirred eggs, and chocolate covered espresso beans and have gotten the headache I woke up with to recede.

Oh, man. Go you with actually applying things. I told myself to take Mucinex this morning because my sinuses are IN PAIN, but did I remember? NOPE. Self, at least get some ibuprofen in you before you forget again.

I don't know what in that combo was effective so I'm glad I had them all available! Good luck with yours, shrift.

Hooray for meara's great week!

I miss those 3-D things, I was good at seeing the sailboats and whatnot, and I saw the dress as white first, so maybe y'all are onto something with that correlation (three data points = line). Something about extrapolating contextual information, would guess.

I cannot see those Magic Eye things to save my life. Though maybe now that I had eye surgery I should try again?
