so, at the risk of being dooced i am choosing to not elaborate about how awful days five, six and seven have been. sarah must've somehow felt the vibe all the way across town, though, because she generously offered to host divaville for me this week. she has my eternal gratitude... hopefully i will have an ounce of sanity remaining at the end of this as a result of her kindness.
so anyway, on to less whiny stuff: the new glasses.
THE OLD GLASSES:
THE NEW GLASSES:
aside from the noticeable change in prescription (i have a slight headache as i type this) i'm of course also getting adjusted to the new look. ray says it's "assertive", but i think he likes the style.
the feature that is most difficult to adjust to is the crazy side pieces. they are flashy, of course, but they also block more of my peripheral vision.
as i look at those photos, it is only now occurring to me that i've had two blue pairs of glasses in a row. hm.
(for an interesting frame [har!] of reference, here's the first pair of glasses i bought at specs, about 8 or 9 years ago. dude, they were totally stylin'! for a distinct lack of style, though, check out the glasses i wore in college. yeesh!)

Yay for George at Specs! And yay for Xta!

Posted by: joy at October 28, 2004 01:01 AMOMG those college glasses--I had a pair almost just like that in...1987? I cringe whenever I look at photos from then. What were we THINKING? I like how it looks in the photo like you can't even keep a straight face having them on.
Posted by: minty at October 28, 2004 08:32 AMminty, you're right on about the date... that was 1987 or so. and i was laughing like hell when i was taking that photo. i mean, look at it again... they're not even resting on my nose. they're on my cheeks!! who would even let me buy those?!?
Posted by: christa at October 28, 2004 09:32 AMYour new glasses are awesome! I am pleased you went with the "assertive" pair :-) Soon you won't remember wearing anything else.
And yes, I too had a pair of glasses that rested on my cheeks. smaller is better, for sure.
