I needed to know if she wore the waterproof or not. She left her make-up here, when she was down for the holiday, and I needed to mail it up to her.. I checked to see if anything was breakable and found old mascara and empty foundation bottles. I can't ship that back! So I went to Walgreen's on my way to the post office.<BR/><BR/>AMAZING WHAT HAPPENS when you are reading labels and you remember your glasses are in the purse on your shoulder!<BR/><BR/>I should wear mine more. I don't mind the way I look in them. My problem is my OCD makes me think they need to be cleaned about 85,000 times a day. Its like trying to sew with a thimble on my finger!<BR/><BR/>And yes, 40 is the new 30!CarolinaDreamzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01486119813066063409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127386573499803135.post-27425541686664433602007-11-26T01:26:00.000-05:002007-11-26T01:26:00.000-05:00It started to happen as I approached my 40th birth...It started to happen as I approached my 40th birthday. I swear, getting reading glasses is like a rite of passage for the middle aged (well, maybe not *middle* aged -- 40's the new 30, right?

I'm certainly not looking forward to it but hopefully, as I've had Lasik done earlier this year, I'll only need reading glasses and not the troublesome (according to my mum) bifocals? I think you can become dependent on glasses though, definitely when you first take them off you feel more disoriented than say, when you wake up in the morning. As for doing close-up work, I guess that can't be helped. In Singapore we have a very high rate of early myopia because kids get more reading/homework, computer and TV usage these days, plus, in this highly urbanised place, there's hardly any wide open spaces to go out and play in. I hope Kevin's vision stays good! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669082433152566162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9127386573499803135.post-52900166404169386082007-11-14T20:32:00.000-05:002007-11-14T20:32:00.000-05:00I am so overdue for an eye exam - but I have been ...I am so overdue for an eye exam - but I have been wearing bottle thick glasses since 2nd grade.<BR/><BR/>I was sooooo pretty in 10th grade in my gigantic red Sally-Jesse glasses.

But they made me dizzy and nauseated (because I would make jewelry while watching TV - switching back and forth triggered dizziness). So I got my eyes checked and they prescribed bifocals. So I go from nothing to bifocals in a day. It was wierd. I would wear the glasses just for reading or close up stuff (computer, jewelry) but not for driving. I have gotten more dependent on them and rarely take them off. I agree, I think your eyes get lazy, but what to do? It's definitely important to see. My biggest problem is keeping track of the glasses (I try to keep them on top of my head when not wearing them) because my little terrierist, Gracie likes to eat them. I've been through 2 pair so far.bethechange21https://www.blogger.com/profile/04487540909801991228noreply@blogger.com
