RevGal Friday5: Windows to the Soul

 

 

this is actually Merkin’s eye but it’s pretty much the same as mine 😉

Sophia writes, “This Friday Five is inspired by my husband’s Lasik surgery yesterday….He’d been contemplating it for a while and was pushed over the edge by the fact that we put too much money in our healthcare spending account this year and it would have been gone anyway. (There was only enough for one eye, but the kind people at the eye clinic figured out a way to divvy up the charges between surgery and followup in January=next year’s spending account). So please say a little prayer for his safe recovery and share with us your thoughts on eyes and vision.

1. What color are your beautiful eyes? Did you inherit them from or pass them on to anyone in your family? My eyes are brown with some hazel tendencies.  The strangest thing about them is that in my childhood they were very dark brown.  All three of my girls have my eyes–Valerie is the only one with the same dark brown I had once upon a time.

2. What color eyes would you choose if you could change them?  I’d love for them to be very very dark brown or a striking green.

3. Do you wear glasses or contacts? What kind? Like ’em or hate ’em?  I wear both contacts and eye glasses.  Love them and hate them both.

4. Ever had, or contemplated, laser surgery? Happy with the results?  I’ve gone so far as to have the consulatation.  I’m not a good canidate–big bummer. 

5. Do you like to look people in the eye, or are you more eye-shy?  I generally look people in the eye unless we have large cultural differences and that seems/feels disrespectful.

Bonus question: Share a poem, song, or prayer that relates to eyes and seeing.   I LOVE  Everclear’s version of Brown-Eyed Girl
