April = A new frame of...glasses.

In February of 2010 I had to get reading glasses. They're nice, right? 


But then my eyes stopped liking them so much...talk about headaches! 


So, we heard of a really nice place down here, some of the brethren recommend it. So here we go! I branched out and got black rimmed glasses. No nose pads, and *gasp* they have bling. 


Eyes feeling much better. :)


Ah! Can you believe it!? Bling! I really like it. :) 





Random shot of the hall. You gotta love sepia, eh?






I like doing my hair like this. :)

So now: "Seven Tips For Making an Eye Appointment Less Boring."

1. Examine the over-than-life-sized pictures of the guys modelling glasses, and laugh at the amount of mascara they had to use to make them have such dark eye lashes. 

2. Think how funny you must look bent over in the awkward angle with your chin on the little rest. 

3. Seriously just relax and don't jump when the lady does the little "puff" of air on your eyes to measure some sort of pressure...'cause then she has to do it 5 times! 

4. Smile at the cute little girl on a lady's lap across the way. 

5. Be glad you brushed your teeth (and hope that the guy has too) when the doctor is up in your face shining a really bright light in your eyes. But don't laugh in his face when that thought comes to you. heh heh! 

6. Let the sweet Aunty pick out your frames...you will be very happy, especially when the third pair was the one. It makes the trip a whole lot shorter! :)

7. When the really nice guy is making sure the frames fit, suddenly recall "Oh! This is the mohawked guy that  had to fix my old frames when this poor little deer-in-the-headlights 16 year old sat on them a year ago! Ha!"

Have a great week everyone! :)

10 Random Things About Me


1. "Keep Breathing" by Ingrid Michaelson is my theme song for Algebra.

2. Miles and I laughed ourselves silly last night looking at 70's fashion and hairstyle.

3. I have to get mens size medium sleeping pants to make them long enough for me.

4. Sometimes I listen to "You belong with me" by Taylor Swift just to make me laugh. Seriously. Just ask Miles.

5. I like cooking spontaneous pizza.

6. I like to wear my hair in two plaits just to wear them up like Princess Leia from Star Wars.

7. Michael Jordan is the best basketball player. Ever. And I know, I actually looked him up!!

8. I like splashing through puddles.

9. I have started following WI cricket. Shocker, I know! (and football/soccer some...I just don't like Barca's colours...hahaha!...but Lionel Messi is awesome, I admit.)

10. I like music. :)
