OUCH! Ow, ow, ow, ow! (my current thoughts as I write this)
So I got new glasses this week. I LOVE my new glasses.
I also got hard contact lenses for the first time. Not loving them so much.
Apparently the reason my soft contacts always popped off my eye is because my eyeballs are very steeply sloped. Stupid astigmatism. The doc did a great demonstration with a giant eyeball that he squished to illustrate the shape of my eye. It was a little frightening.
So now I'm walking around with two pieces of glass in my eyes. The doc said I would feel like I had a giant eyelash in them until my eyes adjusted to the feeling. Nice, huh? The good news is that I could read at slightly better than 20/20 through the haze of tears! Doc says I have to try them out for a week before I can reject them completely. Easy for him to say...

I love them!! You look really good in them. I would say they make you look smart, but I think we have already established your geniusness( is that even a word?).
Isaak had to get glasses this past week to, he looks adorable in them, but I am a bit bias.
Have a great weekend, not too much football!!
Goodness Emily-I couldn't even stand the soft ones. Yeah, I'd just be wearing the glasses-they are rather hip you know!
hey! I had to stop wearing contacts in HS b/c I got a bad infection...and while I know the new technology would probably allow me to wear the new thinner ones I have fallen in love with my glasses :) though it would be nice to have contacts to actually have a reason to bother with eye makeup :)
oh and yes...I'm posting this at 4:51 a.m. my time...and no I haven't slept at all tonight :(
Totally off topic and all, but if you're interested - as you mentioned - in Mt. Kilimanjaro, you absolutely need to read Making the Climb by John Bowling. Easy read - I just finished it. Beautiful writing, great lessons.
Peace,
joe
