New Specs

Last month, as I'm sure y'all will remember, Uber and I went to the optometrist. Uber ordered some reading glasses (at 46 he still only needs reading glasses — I've been wearing glasses and contacts since I was in high school) and I ordered myself some new spectacles.

I didn't really need new glasses. Here's a picture I took of myself yesterday wearing my old glasses:
I like these glasses. But we just got vision insurance and I wanted new glasses. So new glasses I got.

Here's a picture of me with my new glasses (also taken by myself ... at my desk. I can only imagine what my co-workers think of me):I love these new glasses despite the fact that these aren't even the ones I ordered.

I ordered these in mocha. But they were back ordered and I'm impatient, so I let them put my new lenses in the ruby version of the same frames ... and I love 'em. I'm keeping 'em. Brown = ho hum. Ruby = red, hot 'n' spicy.

Plus I ordered transitions photosensitve lens, so they turn to sunglasses when I go outside. And really that was my major objection to my old pair — I hate being in the sun without sunglasses.

Now I don't have to. Woot!

Oh and as a little bonus, my new glasses came with this cute case. Check it:So I'm going to be a glasses-wearing fool for the next couple of weeks then I'll get bored with wearing glasses and go back to my contacts.
