Rainy Monday

Today was one of my two days off a week. I did a lot of housework, and then Boo and I were both getting restless with the disgusting (but much needed) rain keeping us cooped up, so we went over to the mall. Since shopping for clothes is still a nightmare I'd rather avoid, I splurged on a sweet new purse at Macy's. I am a purse whore, although I can't be bothered with name brands -- I spend the money but go for nice and a bit more obscure of a name.

I did some leaf blowing in my yard this weekend, and after the sneezing and wheezing that commenced, I have decided I am not doing any more of that sort of work. Also, after several days of a swollen, gross-looking eye, I got it checked and discovered I have allergic conjunctivitis. I'm sure the leaves, dirt and mold flying around my yard didn't help.

Back to work tomorrow...

Kicking it old school

I've worn glasses since ninth grade. For my wedding, I got contacts and kept wearing them. Until a few months ago, when I got an eye infection and couldn't wear my contacts anymore. So I started wearing glasses.

Well, I'm pretty sure my eye infection is healed. But I keep wearing glasses. I kind of like them. Not, of course, having them fog up when I come in from the outside or the loss of peripheral vision. But they are a great shape for my face, and I think they look nice.

I have six boxes of disposable contacts in my medicine cabinet and will probably wear them again at some point. But for now, I'm "glasses Christine," as M calls me.
