Reading Glasses

So, a couple of years ago, Dave discovered that he needed reading glasses.  He has been wearing them ever since and has a pair of them in almost every room in the house.  He buys them at the dollar store, which is fine, except that he has almost no fashion sense and to top it off, he doesn't care that he has no fashion sense.  It's the rest of the family that has to walk around with him looking weird.  His theory is, "I don't have to look at me!"   Yes, that's right, but we have to look at you, honey.

Much to my chagrin, he came home with a pair of shiny gold rimmed, round glasses (see photo below).  You know, the kind that people wore in the eighties!  Now I know that styles come and go, and then come around again, but thankfully some styles have the good sense to never see the light of day a second time.

They don't look so horrible in the picture but trust me folks, it's NOT a pretty picture!

Since being "shamed" into never wearing those gold things anywhere except in the closet, he has agreed to let me choose his glasses for him.  We can still find them at the dollar store, but they need to wife approved.

Now on to the sad part of this blog...

I recently discovered that I need reading glasses too!  I bought a couple from the dollar store, which were promptly stolen/borrowed by Amanda.  Then I saw these cute ones at The Wal Mart (like Larry the Cable Guys calls it).  I figure as long as I'm slipping down that slippery slope of aging, I might as well do it with some cuteness involved.  Right?

Today was their maiden voyage to church.  Yup, I did it!  I actually wore them in Public.  I wore them during Sunday School so that I could see my scriptures, but I sat on the very back row, so as to not bring attention to myself and my new "jewelry". 

I guess it was inevitable, but I am not liking it, not one little bit!
