I finally got that new pair of glasses I've been needing.I opted to get new frames, as well, so Chad and I
went shopping last weekend. I was sure it would be an exercise in frustration,
since I wanted to try something really different and he likes what I've been
wearing for, like, EVER. But I was suprised, lo, SHOCKED when I put on a pair
of dark red, tiny emo-ish frames and got a good reaction. When I told him the
price, I got and even *better* reaction, as they were probably the cheapest
frames in the store, except for those tiny little frames they make for itty
bitty kids with itty bitty faces that make them look like little Einsteins. My
nephew wore a pair of those when he was little and, wow, what a cutie! But, I
digress.
Anyway...I found some other frames I liked, too, but when I got my choices down to my 2 favorites, I went with the cheaper, emo-ish ones.
Now I'm not so sure. They are really narrow vertically, so when I look down, I can see the frame and everything that is, of course, below the frame is, of course, really blurry. I'm not used to that and my previous frames weren't really big or anything. The world is clearer, but only in the little strip that is my lenses. I'm not sure I can handle this. And I'm not sure I can look in the mirror at glasses that Chad says make me look like a 40's secretary. I like the 40's and everything, but the secretary part really bugs me. As the only woman in the office, that's enough of a problem as it is. Not with the guys I work with...they know me well enough that if they don't mention at least once a week how I'm NOT a secretary and NOT responsible for making sure they get their messages when I take them, I get cranky. But when people call they assume I'm a secretary and when people come in, they think I should know where everyone is at any given moment and when they will return. Which isn't easy in this building...the techs take a list of things to do and visit the schools all day, so I don't know where they are or when they'll be back. And I'm not even *in* the maintenance department, so when those guys leave I don't even know they're gone.
So I might go back and get a thin wire frame...also red...but I already feel guilty thinking about it. These things are expensive! And adding another $30 to what I've already paid...not my idea of a consumption fast.
Oh...did I mention that our church is going on a consumption fast for Lent? We are trying to purchase only what is necessary and to be responsible about those purchases...like, food is necessary, but escargot is not.
So...ok...now you want a pic of me IN them. {sigh} I'll do what I can.
