Very cool, Stef! I'm dying to have lasik, but am too wimpy....maybe I could do it if I had the gas-bubble kind instead of laser. I'll have to check it out. Glad it was a better experience than the laser resurfacing! Can't wait to see the finished product. Deane

Hi CC YES I can see from the back of the room now it's soo cool and the moon at night looks so neat w/o specs can see even better without em with the lasik. The show won't be till March I believe cause we're gonna be the season finale which I thought was kinda cool. Now the lasik corrected my distance vision and made a world of difference in the glare I was experiencing which is really cool. BUT will not correct the up close or reading glasses vision thankfully I am not there yet but surely will be there in the near future. I'll let u know when it's close to air kinda embarassed though but heck get to see all of me many tears and all. I'm such a crybaby when they asked about my bro I lost it also when I talked about my family and a lot of other times I am sure. Guess tears make for good tv which is sad but true hee hee (((HUGS))) Steff btw my face has healed and I love the results. It was worth all the pain in the world it doesn't even look like my skin anymore and lifted up all the saggy downtrodden stuff at least for now.(if anyone were ever to do it get sedated)Gave me a week of the most intense acne ever and of course they taped that part. Never had acne before just fried cali ruddy old skin but the zits have vanished YES!!!!! lol

it just keeps getting better and better Steff !! I can not wait to see it !! BTW.....when are the filming the "Uno Mas" portion of the show ? I haven't been notified yet We all want to be on it, too !! We have cool things to say !! I've always wondered about the "behind the scenes" stuff on a show like this....is there a TON of paperwork involved ? Who the heck knew you had to pay taxes on the services rendered ? Do your friends and neighbors know....or is it supposed to be secret ? Do you have to be "in hiding" and not let anyone see your changes ? What does Jeff think of the new Steff ? Have I told you that I am so happy for you !!!

Have I told you that I am so happy for you !!! Awww Allisa you are so sweet.... THANX!!! ;D ;D
Hmmm behind the scenes.. lotsa lotsa paperwork to fill out prior to the show from the "legal" dept. lol I remember when they sent me the packet of about 100 pages to read then sign. Signed my life away.lol The taxes are similar to game show taxes except this is for services rendered. The actual show is exactly 22 minutes long . They must've filmed about 40 hrs already and still have 3 more days of filming. It's funny cause I had many a blooper like I wasn't supposed to have met the dr. and I call him by his name as if I have known him my whole life. Once I actually walked into a closed door. DOH....Oh yea and they filmed me snoring all the while the dentist was drilling my 10 teeth for the crowns. Can u say great dentist ? Who falls asleep while someone is drilling in their mouth. lol It was so easy after the laser resurfacing that they basically could stuck sharp objects under my fingernails and I woulda been okay. Looking at the footage I look absolutely hideous. So lately have been off sugar permanently(and lost 14 lbs only 30 more to go) and my black specs look crazy ugly in the film. One lady said LOL " I think she's trying to look sytlish in those glasses but it does NOT work and definately NOT stylish. " LOL BEOTCH. It was really hard to see the footage of what strangers thought of me as they are HARSH. Woulda loved to have gotten a couple of them in a dark alley in Santa Monica. LOL . Wouldn't trade the experience for the world I learned a lot about myself in the meantime. Like taking care of yourself is not superficial but helpful and can be in all aspects of my life. I guess I was confused cause being from l.a. there are many obsessed about their looks people and got that confused with actually taking care of myself. It's true the better you feel and looking the best u can by taking care of yourself( to a normal extent) the better you can take care of others. Ya know.I'm learning many life lessons late in life. After my brother died I just lost my mind and really really let myself go in all ways including the extra 50 pounds I put on. I think the extra poundage hurt the most though as I did not realize how much it affected me my health and ,my gee darned feet they hurt like crazy all the time which I attribute to the extra weight. But am working on that now and hope by the beginning of the new year I will be back to my original weight cause it really has taken a toll onmy old bones here. Allisa thank you...you've always been so sweet to me I appreciate that. I hope n pray you all are well. (((HUGS))) Steff

Steff............remind me. What show is it? Is it the one I watch on TLC sometimes where they take years off the women after having strangers stop and say how old they look? I'm so glad it's been a good experience for you! And yes...........you deserve all of this!! (Well, except for the pain!!)

aww...steff.....I'm sorry you aren't loving it.....but maybe you'll warm up to it....do you at least liek the cut and style if not the color ? I have never colored my hair....always been brown/black....so I can imagine it is hard to have something different....especially when you were blond and 95 % of the world WANTS to be blond ( ok maybe my stats are off....but I know it is a lot....they DO have more fun....I just know it !! )
