Bringing the Drama

the last time i had gotten glasses was probably 2004 or 2005. i normally wear contacts all the time, but the past year or so have been wearing my glasses once a week. i’ve gotten compliments on them, even though when i originally went to get them, i was getting the cheapest pair i could get because i was also getting contacts. my love for thicker framed glasses began sometime last year or the year before after i noticed several of my friends had them, and they looked very good with them. i was able to try my friend Chrissy’s pair on when i was in Ireland (!!!) in March which resulted in this picture taken by my friend Lori:

due to having to wait for insurance, i had to wait 4 months before i could get glasses like that of my own. i went to my eye doctor yesterday, and he gave me my new prescription, and told me that my contacts prescription would not need to be updated, which meant i could use the insurance money for glasses. after a couple of empty trips to two places, i ended up at Sears where they had several pairs i could pick from. i went back today and finally went with a dark dark brown pair that was neither of my two choices from yesterday. i should get them within two weeks….just in time for preseason football.
