*ping* ...AAAAAAUGH

My broken glasses

...The "ping" being the right-hand earpiece of my glasses made when it snapped. The "Auuuughhh" being the sound I made as I just barely kept them from falling of my face.

Now here I sit with them taped together in the most fragile and geekette-ish manner imaginable. And exactly at the time when all other funds in the house are spoken for.

Oh well. At least this explains why the vision in my right eye seemed to have been acting so strangely all week. At least I know it's not my retina kicking up or anything.

If you have your prescription, you can order a great pair of glasses online for cheap. I have progressive bifocals that cost about $300 dollars at the eyeglass boutiques that I paid less than $80 for at zennioptical.com. My son's regular glasses were less than $20. (I don't recommend the UV coating, though. It seems to make the lenses extremely susceptible to smudges.)
