Need Glasses?

TS got a hold of my glasses and broke off one of the arms (legs?). So, for the past few weeks I've been walking around at home with my one-legged glasses on. If anyone bumps my face, including myself, my glasses fall off. Though it makes it really easy to rub my eye on that side because I don't have to work around the arm/leg/thing. I've also noticed it kinds of messes up my vision because my glasses tilt funny now making it so I'm not seeing through the correct spot on my glasses.

Basically I look REALLY cool wearing my glasses.

I really wanted to get new glasses, but my prescription is too old. So, I'd been trying to work out an eye appt, which isn't the easiest thing with a 3 month old, who very muchly still wants mommy.

Luckily I have contacts...kind of.

They are dailies. I went to see how many contacts I had left, and I apparently have no contacts remaining for my right eye and five for my left eye. Gee, that makes sense. How does this happen? For some reason my right eye contacts kept ripping, so I went through them faster. Very annoying. They'd sometimes rip just from being put in my eye. They were Focus Dailies, and I'm hopefully switching to get Acuvue Oasis (doing a trial pair right now and I like them MUCH more!).

So, I'd been wearing my one-legged glasses at home. When I went out, I'd been wearing my left contacts in both eyes. It's been great. I like always having my vision slightly messed up.

Now for the main reason I'm telling you my story...

I kind of also wasn't too happy about having to buy glasses, as well as contacts. It gets kind of expensive! Our insurance gives us some money we can use, but it doesn't come close to covering glasses AND contacts, and I really do prefer both.

My solution - an $8 pair of glasses that my not-real-sister-in-law told me about. Before you laugh at me for getting that color of glasses, I would like to specify that I got one of the brown ones - you can see a photo of it if you scroll down to the bottom of the page of the link above. I did not get the color of the one in the main photo.

I'm sure it will look horribly ugly on me since I haven't been able to try them on, but really - it's EIGHT DOLLARS! Plus, I only wear my glasses at home, so if the kids aren't afraid of me when I'm wearing them, then I don't care. Tyler thinks I'm a hotty no matter how grotesque I look (something is wrong with him).

My not-real-sister-in-law, who we will call Jay, since that's her name, has ordered two of these little babies. She likes both of them. You can read her review here. And she posted pictures of her beautiful self wearing them here.

So, if you're in need of glasses, and want some cheap ones, there are a ton of options here:
