I Dread Getting New Glasses

I dread getting Glasses
If I look like crap don’t blame me.

Today is the day of dread. I am deciding the fate of my face with no control over it. Today I am going to get new glasses.

Cait and Brad decided to get me new glasses for Mothers Day and my Birthday. They know I will not do it myself so, they kinda made it a gift so, I have to.

The thing is, I have worn glasses everyday since kindergarten. My glasses are a part of me. I put them on before I get outta bed and they do not come off until I am back in bed. I even swim with them on (hate running into the side of the pool).

Since my glasses truly are a part of my face all day every day I hate picking out new frames. Just think if you just went to the store every few years and got a new nose because the one you have is out of style?

I would have no real problem getting new frames IF I knew what I was getting. I have to take my real glasses off to try on new frames. This means that I can not see! Sure, I can ask Brad how different frames look but, he will just say “If you like them then they look great”. Smart man but, of little help. I can take Cait but, she would let me get something super funky because they are cool. Worse yet, she may just have me get some that are butt ugly and then wait until I get them on with lenses, just to see the expression on my face when I realize I have been ‘punked’. Yes, I have raised a real doll! LOL!

All of this is something that I have gone through most of my life. I do have a plan to ease the pain. I just hope Brad will go along with it. I will be using all the knowledge I have gained about the latest technology. I’ll let ya know how it goes. If it is a hit, then I will be RICH! I will be the Queen! If nothing else, I will still have new glasses!

If you are not seeing your comment - that is because my site took a shit and I had to go to a back up and it was a few days before this post.

newroseI have worn glasses and i can honestly say i do not like to change them either. So i have boght 5 new frames and when i need to update my prescription i use 1 of my own frames to keep the same image.
Anyway i do not believe in change for the sake of it unlessit offer some clear advamtages.
