well, they don't look awful

after rescheduling like four times i was finally able to get to the eye doctor today. i loathe going to the doctor, any kind of doctor, because you usually end up waiting for EVER and there are always so many bored kids. no one likes a bored kid. they just whine and cry and cause trouble. anyways, while i was in the waiting room there was only one kid and she was bored...but in a cute way. after a few minutes she told her mom that she just can't wait anymore and she had to leave. then she was asking about that eye puffer machine that hurts and her mom told her it doesn't hurt it just startles a person and it checks for important problems. the little girl just said "it doesn't check me cuz i'm scared." too cute.

and another thing, that blasted eye puffer machine sucks, it just sucks. i swear there has to be a better way to identify if someone has glaucoma or not. i mean really. it is hard to deny your natural reflex to pull away and blink but they expect you to. and the whole anticipation is the worst. just waiting...waiting...waiting.and POOF a shot of air right in the eye. it could hardly get any worse than that. i guess i will trust that the medical peeps who create horrible machines like that would have already created a better machine if they could.

just so you all know, i'm horrible at picking out glasses. i know that about myself and still i go to my appointment alone. brandon can pick them out for me in like 2.35 seconds and yet, i spend an hour. so, i'm asking the worker lady for her opinion...not my best idea. she proceeded to tell me how these were not her favorite on me and how those "don't look awful." then she brought over 20 other pairs to try on and after careful consideration i ended up with the ones that just don't look awful. none of them really turned her crank i guess. we will see how others react to them once i get them back. i'll post pics and you all can be brutally honest...


ttfn.
