My Broken Glasses
This morning, I woke up to find that my glasses were missing from the nightstand. Sometimes, I knock them over in the middle of the night, so I wasn’t too worried at first. However, after feeling around for a bit, I came up with nothing. Now, anyone of you who has tried on my glasses knows just how blind I am without them. So if I was going to find them, I was going to have to get out of bed and get down on my hands and knees so that I could search at a closer level. However, when I got out of bed, I found them immediately with the sound of a crunch. When I picked up what was under my foot, I discovered that I had cracked my glasses right down the middle. Ugh, I sure was feeling like Henry Bemis.
Well, I was disgusted with myself, but Apryl saw it as an opportunity for me to get new glasses. So I made an appointment with Pearle Vision and started looking forward to a new look. The examination went well. I was even told that my eyesight had gotten a little bit better! That’s a first. Afterwards, I shopped around for about an hour for new frames:
It was bit of a whirlwind, trying on frame after frame. So I couldn’t even tell you which one from the above that I actually chose. But it was approved by Apryl and the girl at Pearle. Unfortunately, the non-reflective addition takes 3-5 days, so I wasn’t able to walk out with my new look.
Instead, I was stuck with an old, old pair that had Apryl referring to me as Harry Potter. Evidence below:
Yikes, right? Perhaps I should have hidden behind the disposable sunglasses I was given after my exam:
Below, Apryl tries her best to super glue my old pair until the new ones are ready. Sadly, it didn’t work.
Fortunately, I was able to find an old pair of glasses that are less scary. So at least now, I don’t have to be embarrassed to go out in public.

Are you going to post a pic of the new glasses? I sympathize with you, since before we went to Korea I was wearing a pair of glasses (that a baby broke) which were held together by a paperclip and always fell off my face.

That does stink!
Well, the new pair actually look so much like the old pair that no one has yet noticed the difference. Of course, it might be one of those things like a haircut that people don’t notice until a month from now.
