New Glasses for 2000
I had intended to carefully select the 2000th photo to load to my flickr photostream. Something beautiful, inspired, and significant.
Instead, whatever ailment currently has me in it’s grips has caused me to load photos willy-nilly and you get an off-kilter photo of one of my new pairs of glasses.
New glasses? – yes. My last pair lost an arm on the airplane to New Brunswick in February.
"one of"? – yes. When my mom stylist was in town last, I dragged her down to the new 3-for-1 glasses place near St. Lawrence Market called Great Glasses.
Not only is it 3-for-1 but they’d been distributing $75 off-coupons in the neighbourhood too. Little did I know there was so much drama
around these guys. I guess that explains their WoM promotion – get 10
"purchasing customers" to mention your name and you get a free pair of
glasses or a 3-year’s supply of contacts. I’m pretty happy with my new
glasses, all 3 pairs, but I came with an official prescription.
Ailment? –
yes, Gerry brought something draining home last week. Something that
has left us both completely wipped out. After 5 days of sleeping about
20 hours a day, he’s finally back at work. I’m about 2 days behind him
and grumpy as hell about it. I’m really tired of being tired and/sick.
It’s been a nearly constant state since the pneumonia
and it’s getting in the way! So, I’ve decided… this is the last time.
No more sick for me this year. I’ve banked enough sick-time to cover me
well into 2009.
But Lex, they’re purple AND green?!? – My
two favourite colours that go great together. The other two pairs are
black and black&white, so I needed something with a little
playfulness. My mom stylist agreed with the high-pressure sales dude said I looked "fabulous" in them… so green & purple, woo hoo! Don’t you wish you were as wild an crazy as me?
So I guess this 2000th photo does give me "beautiful" green & purple, "inspired" not to be sick again and "significant" because I say so.
