IN WHICH I GET SPECS.

6:45 AM


Yeah!  The day finally came.  I am a 4 eye once again!  Truth is, my eye sight isn't THAT bad.  But back in high school, I had some weird obsession with glasses and since I technically did have a prescription for lenses, I got 'em.  Once I got to college, I stopped wearing them, mostly because they were dorky, out of style frames and I obviously needed to make a good impression on my fellow cougs.  

Time passed and I didn't really think I needed them.  Last year, I had a few of my students comment on how I was always squinting at the whiteboard when I was in the back of the room.  I brushed it off and didn't think much of it until I was at LensCrafters with my sister this summer.  I didn't realize until I was there that I wasn't on any vision plan... so no glasses for me {until open enrollment...which was January 2013}.  I was bummed, but I figured I probably didn't really need them.  This year, my students have made it a point to remind me at least once a week that I can't see anything if it's written in color on the whiteboard...especially math problems!  They loveeee mocking my squinting.  I waited until January and then high-tailed it to LensCrafters for an eye exam.  Since I'm extremely impatient, it's a huge plus that they do your glasses right there for you.  

Does anyone else ever have some extreme urge to cut, color, or do something drastic to their hair like I do?  These glasses sort of fulfill that for me.  I feel like a new woman & I have to admit that I kind of like it.  :)

You look so cute in your glasses! I had to comment because I totally want to do something with my hair too. I am SO SICK OF IT. I kind of want bangs, andddd I kind of want to cut it short. I guess maybe I should just get glasses! :)

I love your glasses--you look great in them! I have had glasses since 1st grade, so I am basically blind, and my glasses are too thick to be cute :)
