Four eyed me

Yes, my friends, I have to wear glasses now. Turns out there are several things wrong with my eyes that can be happily fixed with a pair of frames and good lenses. Humph.

I have to wear these things for three weeks, all day, everyday. Then, I go back and see if I've improved at all. Mainly, my doctor wants to see if the glasses help the headaches I get around my eyes. The saddest part of the story is this: I'll be in Europe for the last week of my jaunt with glasses! Terrible! I've decided to just remove the glasses before any picture is taken, if I can remember to do so as I'm in awe of the Eiffle Tower, the castles in Scotland or Hyde Park.

So, to humor you, here are some picture of me with glasses. There's a glare in most of them (unless I look up a bit, but that makes my face look more fat...so, work around the glare, please).

The before picture. Also, my hair is straight so I look even more unfamiliar in all of these pictures.

And after...with a glare.
A few random shots of my feelings about glasses.....









The frames are "J-Lo" brand. Did you know that J-Lo makes frames for glasses? I asked the lady helping me pick them out if they had these same frames in another brand. She looked at me like I was insane and said no. Whatever...don't be fooled by the frames that I got, I'm still Ashley from the block.

I think you look great in glasses! I wear glasses when I'm reading or working on the computer. I know you don't like them right now but once you get used to them they aren't too bad.

I like your look with glasses! The shape of the frames flatters your face. You know, I used to hate wearing my glasses but since I got my latest pair I wear them more than my contacts. Give it a few days...I bet it won't be so bad.

I love 'em! I think you look very cute in them.
Gosh, your trip is coming up soon, then? Wow, how exciting. Must confess...I'm a little jealous! ;)

Funny- They looked so natural I never thought twice about them. In fact, I don't even remember seeing them today! Cooper and I had lots of fun coming to visit--thanks for letting us come see you (and Piper and Patrick).
