A Trip to Florence Mall Y'All

[kybearfuzz]

Thursday I got a call from my optometrist to let me know that my trial contacts were in and yesterday Lenscrafters left a message that my glasses were in. So today after the gym, I made a trip to Florence Mall to deal with both. My optometrist got me to try the new Acuvue contacts that correct for my astigmatism. They were pretty comfortable, so folks may see more of me in them from now on, at least during the next week as she wanted me to wear them more to get used to them.


My New Rimless Glasses
My glasses feel so light compared to my others. My prescription barely changed, so little that my optometrist said I could wear my old and new pair interchangeably without problem. The new ones are a lot more fragile than my others, so I have to be extra careful with them. I got fitted by a very cute, goatee-wearing guy named Josh (I think), who is family I am betting. A co-worker of his came in with her new baby and he squealed and gushed over the baby in that oh-so-gay way. He said that he thought I looked good in my new glasses. Granted, I'm sure he's trained to say that, but it felt good to hear it.

On my way out, I stopped by Suncoast to look at the movies and found that they are going out of business. First Media Play, now them, it's sad really. Of course, this is a bad mix for me, DVD's at going out of business discounts. I was pretty good, bought only one DVD, The Haunting (1963), for $10. I'm sure there will be a review coming in the future.

They do look good on you though. It's almost as if they're not there. They blend in very well without an off-colour frame.

Thanks, I still have old ones when I miss the frames, but I wanted to try something different.

Well you look adorable as usual.

Thanks handsome :)

Like Raph said, you can barely see them in the pic. If it weren't for the nose and ear pieces, I wouldn't know you were wearing them. They look good on you. Of course, I think you look good in just about anything. :)

And btw....ove the new icon :)

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Thanks on both counts :D

[mat-t.livejournal.com]

Okay, as I'm sure you figured out, that was supposed to say "love the icon", not "ove the icon". *g*

I'm likin' the glasses. Good choice.

The original The Haunting is a great movie. Good choice x2. I won't talk about it in case you haven't seen it already.

Thanks :)

And The Haunting was great. I wish they had done some of the mental voiceovers in the new one, it really made things more suspenseful.

Thanks Eric :)

[xkot.livejournal.com]

Those look great on you.

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I appreciate that :)

The new glasses look great, can hardly see the lenses so they don't distract from your eyes :)

[kybearfuzz.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I just thought I'd try something different :)

Glasses look good!

I just added ya. Let me know how the contacts work out. I tried some out before (for astigmatism) and they didn't work so well...they keep moving everytime I blink (they had some type of weight or something) and it wasn't very beneficial to drive in them..hahah
