New Eyewear & SPF

AWWW! Head rush! I just gave myself an Imitrex shot! I will be feeling perfect by the time I hit publish and view blog!

This is my new eyewear. Long story....and I'm not too good at making long stories short but here goes it:
I had a pair of glasses, they were cool, but not this cool. Right after I got them I started falling asleep in them. Sometimes my husband would wake me up in the middle of the night and make me take them off, other times I would just wake up in them. Why would I do that in brand new glasses? Because I was on some serious perscription drugs and I would conk out without warning, so I would lay in bed w/ my glasses on watching t.v. and next thing you know, I woke up hours later with glasses on! I busted one of the lenses in half. I could wear them at first they just had a small crack in them, and I even wore them when the crack got worse and worse, but finally they just got too hideous to wear.

Fortunately I was off all those hard-core meds and was able to start wearing my contacts again. That's where you met me. Happy-functioning-cognitively-sound and contact-wearing. Well, its allergy season and I have to be prepared to take my contacts out and wear my specs. But the back-up pair I have are from 1994-96 and are so butt ugly that it freaks my kids out. How could I go in public like that? Can't use my insurance to get new contacts until Oct., but w/ these expensive puppies it may be a lot longer than that!!

I just "stumbled" into these. Went to an old eye-Dr.'s office and the Versace rep was there. They don't usually carry these and they had a coupon in a book that cost $.50 for 1/2 off the frames. I never could have gotten these otherwise. My eyes are so bad so I have to get thinner lenses, etc. which = big bucks! And, since I'm wearing these in the summer and can't wear sunglasses I had transition lenses put in them. So.....it may be a long time before I can go get contacts again. That's how I justified my "splurge!"

T-S-E took this photo of me when we got home. I edited it, but he took the shot at an angle. I really am proud of that 5 year-old when he does stuff like that!

Today is Friday and I just had to participate in Kristine's SPF again.

First off is my washer and dreyer. Good thing I cleaned my laundry room the other day, unfortunately I only do it about 4 times a year. It really pisses Papa D off, but I just pile stuff up on them. Anyway, I probably wouldn't have particiated today and shown you their ugliness, but I lucked out!

Next is my bathrobe. It was at the very back of my closet. The last clothing item. The clothes I have on underneath my bathrobe here is what I wear. If I get cold, I put on a sweatshirt. I only take the bathrobe if I go on vacation or have company over. I'm just not a bathrobe person. I guess because it is so chilly in the Pacific Northwest, if I'm cold, I need more clothes than a bathrobe!! (Another photo taken by my in-house personal photographer!)

The last picture for SPF is a flower. I just love dafflodils (that's what Meyers D called them when she was 1 year-old). I took this picture this morning afte I picked up my new eyewear. The color was shitty in the photo so I jazzed it up with some special effects. I really need a new camera!!

*Head rush is gone, but still waiting for head to feel "perfect," hope this isn't an omen. Oh well, I have had MUCH WORSE, A THOUSAND TIMES WORSE!!
