New glasses...
Replies
@Jay: Thanks, I just got them today. It's nice to really be able to see!!
@chipmunk: It should, I know what you did!
I need to get my eyes checked soon. I'm not sure I can afford it even with my vision plan at work right now, though. :(
@Khan & Jub: Thank you and thank you!
@Sharon: Ok, but only if I could be the secretary.
@Chrome: Thanks. I've been wearing glasses that were years old. When the doc saw my old prescription he said, " Those are... different."
@Jay: We have this thing called Tex Flex where they give you a loan for medical expenses which they take out of your check each month. It was the only way that we could afford to get glasses. Ben got glasses too.
That sounds cool.
My work is going to stop subsidizing health insurance next year. I'm going to keep the insurance I have, because it's not too expensive.
@Grarak: I'm glad you're so enthused that you had to say it three times!
@Gav, Sup and Twif: Thanks a lot. I was afraid that they would overwhelm my face, but I like them anyway and maybe my face needed some overwhelming!
Jay Def (and everyone who wears or might need glasses) -- you MUST investigate the growing buying-glasses-online movement.

I'm wearing a pair from Zenni right now, and I have 2 pairs (including a pair of prescription sunglasses!) on the way from Optical 4 Less. At these prices, I could get a different pair for every day of the week for less money than a single pair at LensCrafters -- and I *have* vision insurance.
PS Jewls, you look great! I love girls in glasses.
@jonathan: Thanks! I am going to check all that out. I've always had a fantasy of having a wide variety of glasses to choose from, just like any other accessory.
@jay: P.S. I know I'm a shitty friend, I never called you as promised! How are you doing?
@Jewls - It's okay. Don't worry about not calling me. I'm doing really much better. :)
@jay: That is great to hear. I think I'm going to frequent here a bit more often so I will be better in touch...
@Jewls - did i? ah, compu-troubles, i guess...
well, you look darn good in 'em, what can i say.

I got some new glasses and I love them. I also learned, upon getting new glasses, that I'm sort of in love with myself as well.
I hadn't realized...
