Midlife Musings

Reflections on life from 40-something

41 year old eyes

August3

Last year, when I went to the eye doctor, he wrote me out a prescription, and I picked out cute frames, and I asked if I needed to wear them all the time, and he said, “No, you’ll know when you need to put them on”, and I said ok, and went biddy-bopping down the street feeling saucy with cute pink frames that I only has to wear once in a while.

Well, now. Pink is a good color on me, and I like pink, but sometimes, I want to wear red, and then the pink glasses, they look a little odd. And that would not be a problem, except that lately I have been getting headaches that are strangely relieved by putting on my glasses. Not that I need to wear the glasses more. It’s just that I greatly prefer to not have headaches. I just want to be clear!

So, it might be time to consider new eyeglasses that aren’t quite so…colorific. A little more majestic mature ok, plain. Because, occasionally, plain can be good, and really, Tylenol should not be a regular food group for me. And Zenni Optical has good prices (like, starting at $8, seriously!!) and their customer service and quality was even talked about on clarkhoward.com.

So whaddya think? This one

Yeah, I know I don’t do plain very well. It’s a failing.

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
