I can see!

I had my eyes checked a few months ago and my near vision is worse. :-/ I decided to try the progressive lenses again. Epic fail! I am now absolutely certain that I do not like progressives. The close up focus gives you a reading size smaller than a dime. It is so small that in order to read a page in a book, I have to move my head from side to side. That's right! It won't focus on an entire line. 

On top of that, my dad told me about the price of Costco glasses. I returned my glasses and sunglasses that I got at Lenscrafters, got my credit of $874 and headed over to Costco. I decided to just get glasses for now and sunglasses later. The cost of my new glasses? $149 Yup. That's all. Even progressives there were MUCH less than at Lenscrafters, not that I'm ever trying them again. 

Can you see the sexy bifocal line? 

Head on over to our Wardrobe Wednesday sponsor, Aliceson at Feet Off the Table to see what all the cool kids are wearing.

Out With the Old

Those of you who know Princess well, know that she doesn't get rid of things. Ever. Although I have some theories, I really don't know why.

Princess really wanted a new DS game, Crafting Mama. It wasn't in the budget. She wanted it and she wanted it soon. Like yesterday. We started talking about trading in games. She was hesitant, but willing to think about it. A few days later she made the huge leap. She chose 4 games to take back to Gamestop . . .


. . . and is thrilled with her new game! 


It was important to allow her to do this in her own time, without pressure. It was a big decision for her and shows huge growth. I'm pretty darn excited for her.
