I got new glasses today! They're sort of big, tortoise shell-printed from the front and cream-and-taupe-swirled on the sides. I really just love them.
Oh man, I took forever picking them out. The saleslady was not pleased with me, but I felt it was not a decision to be rushed. If my relationship to my last pair is any indication, I will quickly form an unhealthy attachment to them, wearing them years after the prescription in the lenses changes.
In fact, when the saleslady asked me if I wanted to "discard" my old frames, I screamed a bit without thinking. It was like she was asking if I wanted to personally deliver the injection that would put my pet to sleep. Not only did I not discard my old frames (which I have now been wearing for six years), but I had new lenses put into them so I can continue wearing them another six.
I hope I never go blind, but, if I do, I'll still be wearing my glasses.
