If you've ever gone sunglass shopping with me...

One of the things that makes summer great is the chance to get caught up on appointments that are hard to make during the school year. For example, the eye check up appointment that I've been putting off for oh, the last 5 years or so.

My vision is pretty good, but lately I've noticed that things in the distance are a bit more blurry than normal. I have glasses, but I pretty rarely wear them. I mostly got them for seeing the board during lectures in college (or maybe at the end of high school? I can't remember). But I really dislike my glasses and therefore I do not like to be seen in them. Also, someone once told me that if you wear your glasses a lot then your vision gets worse. Probably not true, but it's always stuck with me.

Anyhoo, today I finally went to get my eyes checked. Good news is, my prescription is pretty darn close to being the same as it was 5+ years ago.

Better news, I picked out a pair of frames that I actually like. I tried to find a picture online, but I can't remember what the frames were called, just that they're Nicole Miller brand.

But anyways, on to the part about sunglasses. If you've ever gone with me to try to pick out sunglasses, you know how frustrating it is because they are always always crooked on my face. I always complained during these sunglass shopping excursions that my face is crooked. Then the person I was shopping with would say something like, "No, no. Your face is not crooked, it's the glasses". But really, every pair?

So when the lady was helping me pick out frames today, she took one look at me and confirmed that one ear is not level with the other. I knew it! Thank you so much, ears, for making it so difficult to pick out eyewear for the past several years.

Also, as she saw the types of frames that I liked, she informed me that I was "geek chic". Ha this made me laugh. Sounds about right. At least I'm some kind of chic. :)
