(WARNING; CONTAINS MY AWESOME WRITING (also my not so awesome writing) WEAR SUNGLASSES TO PREVENT AWESOME-BLINDING(Don't really wear sunglasses while trying to read) )
Last week I got contacts. It has been an adventure. Here, in this blog, you are going to get top-secret info on the common(and not so common) fall-backs of wearing contacts.
Though I'm sure they do it differently at other eye doctors, when I first got my contacts, I was given a schedule on how many hours I need to wear my contacts. Four hours for the first two days, six hours for day three and four, then eight hours for day five and six and for the rest, ten hours.
Sounds easy, right? Well it kind of is. But not. First of all, you have to remember when you put them in. Well actually, first of all you have to remember to put them in. Then you have to take in to account that you might not be home when you need to take them out.
If you aren't at home, you have to remember (yeah I know, a lots of remembering) to bring your contacts case and the solution. And if your like me, you'll want a quiet bathroom with a large mirror.
Another thing is, if you do get contacts, make sure you're not a klutz. I personally didn't think I was a klutz but today I found out otherwise.. As I was trying to poke out my eye (formally know as putting in your contacts) I blinked and in all of a sudden: it dropped. My contact. So all of a sudden, a simple thing (or not so simple?) like putting in my contacts was very scary thing. Where could have it gone? Didn't they tint it blue so I could see it? What good does it do? Apparently not that much. Because I stood there freaking out. I did find it. Under the sink's spout. I wonder how it got there. Maybe the story about contacts having legs its true? Who knows?
And then there's the problem of mistaken identity. I have been telling people this: Grace is the one without glasses, I'm the one with. Now I have contacts and people are getting confused. Its like losing my braces all over.
So I'm sure there's more but I have to go.

(WARNING: LOTS OF SPANISH AND NO PROPER ACCENTS. ALSO VERY FUNNY)
SPANISH TRANSLATION
LA NARIZ
Indispensable para respirar , puede causarnos problemas y complejos. Somos muchos los que no estamos satisfechos con el aspecto de nuestra nariz. Las narices vienen en muchos modelos y tamanos. En el idioma espanol hay un vocabulario bastante completo para describirlas.
Si alguien tiene una nariz grande le pueden llamar narigon, narigudo, narizon or narizota. En cambio una nariz pequena es chata en Espana y nata en Latinoamerica. Esta la nariz aguilena, que como su nombre lo indica se parece a un pico de aguila, y lo completamente opuesto, la nariz respingada o respingona, con la punta hacia arriba.
La nariz aparece en mucha expresiones idiomaticas. Hay gente curiosa que mete las narices en todo., gente poco avisada que no ve mas alla de sus narices. Es muy triste cuando alguien va a pedir un favor o trata de conseguir algo y le dan con la puerta en ls narices, le dicen que no. Muchas veces sucede que buscamos algo por toda la casa y esta frente a nuestras propias narices, o, como nos pueden decir, "ahi lo tienes, delante de tu nariz ." Asomar la nariz,es aparecer en alguna parte para ver que pasa, sin anuciar la vista. Tambien,si hace mucho que no ves a un amigo puedes decir "que pasara con Pepe? Hace mucho que no asoma la nariz por aqui"
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
THE NOSE
Indispensable to breathe, can cause problems and complex. Many of us are not satisfied with the appearance of our nose. Noses come in many models and sizes. In the Spanish language is fairly complete vocabulary to describe them.
If someone has a big nose can call you big-nosed, big nose, big nose or big nose. But a small nose is flat cream in Spain and Latin America. The aquiline nose, which as its name suggests looks like a beak of the eagle, and the complete opposite, pug or snub nose, with the top up.
The nose appears in many idiomatic expressions. There are curious people who puts his nose into everything., recently warned people not see beyond their noses. It is very sad when someone goes to ask a favor or trying to get something and give it to the door ls noses, I say no. Many times we want something around the house and is in front of our noses, or, as we may say, "there you go, in front of your nose." Stick your nose is show up somewhere to see what happens, no advert in sight. Also, if you do not see much a friend can say "what will happen with Joe ? Long time no pokes his nose around here"

Introducing....THE GOOFBALL!
(WARNING: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS SOME VERY CONFUSING SENTENCES AND A GOOD DEAL OF RAMBLING. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK)
Okay, some of you may have heard that we got a dog for Christmas. This is true, though technically we got her in janurary.
So let me tell you more about our latest addition, Stella, that goofball.
She is a German shepherd/ Australian blue heeler. She is a small dog, only coming up to my knees when she stands. But she thinks she is as big as the saint bernard that lives down the street. In fact, she thinks she should be alpha dog and pick fights with all the bigger dogs. It doesn't matter that they could swallow her in one bite. But cat fights aside (ha-ha, cat fights! Well, I thought it was funny) she is a sweet dog. She love to be petted. My older sister takes it to the next level.
Poor Stella, everyone (besides me) thinks that she is a lapdog. So you will see her being carried and put on to peoples laps. i think that she does not like that but who knows. My older sister says that Stella gets all the attention that a boyfriend would get, whatever that means......
She does have some funny quirks. She barks at the mailman but only a certain one, at some points she thinks she is a cat, she has tried to climb trees before (but she always fails), she is always mistaken for a boy dog, she will do anything, and I mean anything, for a treat. She is also very trainable.
By the second week we had her, she was playing dead at the sound of a gunshot. She also knows who to: pray, spin, crawl, sit pretty (beg), wave, raise her hand to answer a question and many more. One of her coolest tricks in my mind is her refeering. She learned to do this one on her own. My sister and I were in a little fight and we were play shoving each of other. Stella decide to break up the fight by nipping who ever shoved in her reach. Personally, I think she thinks its a game. When we first met her she couldn't even sit. So I think she is pretty smart.
Because of the German Shepherd in her, she is very alert and dignified. She loves to play most of the time, even though her playing does involve her rather sharp teeth. one of my sisters, Grace, has a old toy dog and Stella loves it. If we hid it, she will search for it everywhere. It is quite amusing.
Because of the Blue Heeler, she can jump really high. She also needs a lot of excises. She loves to run. it can be a pain, because the house we are living in does not have a fenced in backyard, so for her to go to the bathroom and get exercise, we have to take he for walks. She is a inside dog, so we take her for a lot of walks.
In fact, this winter there was a pretty bad snow storm. You could only see one block a head of you and the snow was two feet deep. but Stella had to go to the bathroom, she we had to walk her in the bitter cold. If that isn't love, I don't know what is.
And we do love her and I hope you, after reading this, begin to love her too.
Here is some photos of her
