I've gotten new glasses so many times without knowing what I really look like till they arrive and depending on someone else's opinion. I hope you like them. Comfort really matters more than looks anyways. <br /><br />I'm loving the cooler weather!!! Being able to have the patio door open all day has really drawn Annie out of hiding for a good part of the day.

I certainly wouldn't be looking for glasses when I couldn't see them, but it may be a long drive for you to go back.

I can't see diddly squat with out my glasses and so have to rely on others to tell me how I look (hubby is still working to I go to the eye doctor by myself). And the waiting around forever (especially when you hear them just shooting the breeze in the back) frosts me. Must ne all the rain/flooding/heat that is making me cranky this morning.
