How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Can See! Glasses Give Away!

in Lifestyle on 05/07/10

Last week I had my long over due eye appointment. Why do I put it off? I convince myself every year that this will be the year the good ole Doc will tells me it is time for eyeglasses. When I was a kid I had a lazy eye. Yep, that is what they called it. The solution was apparently humiliation. I was “prescribed” a patch. Oh, and not a nice little stick on flesh colored patch like the use now. A Freakin Pirate Patch with a strap and everything. I hated that damn thing. So. I don’t have a problem with glasses, just some deep seeded, unfounded, unresolved childhood issues all tangled up with a regular eye routine. Puh. It’s nothin. That and I may have a problem with admitting I might indeed be getting older. Sigh.

As I sat in the optometrists office, I found myself checking out the racks of prescription glasses. I was pretty sure this would be the year the Doc would tell me my peepers needed some help. Can I tell you how relieved I was to see all the fashionable styles that are available now?

Made it through my eye appointment with minimal squinting, and was told I do not need a prescription for glasses? This time. *Squee** Then the good Doctor added, as my eyes age, I will need them. Sooner then later. Thanks Mr. Suzy Sunshine. That almost killed my buzz.

As soon as the appointment was over I booked it out of the office before that Optometrist could tell me there had been some kind of mix-up! That he had confused me with a younger, stronger, better seeing woman who had never worn a patch. Then I did what any mature women does. Called my Hubby and sang in his ear “You were wrong, He says I’m fine, I don’t need prescription eyeglasses”. Told you it was mature.

      I’ve been wearing glasses since third grade so I guess I’m used to glasses/contacts although life would be much simpler without them. I like the Niko Brown and the Adam Gray glasses. daydreamsinbubbles(at)hotmail(dot)com

This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
