Me: They are real prescription lenses...
Student: Oh, do you usually were contacts?
Me: NO, I'm far to squeamish to put my fingers into my eyes!
Student: How comes I've never seen you in glasses then?
Me: Mmm, well, I don't really wear them unless I'm tired...
Student: So, you have paid for glasses that you never wear Miss?
Me: Yes, I guess I have.
Student: How much do teachers get paid Miss?
Me: Not enough for this!
I don't wear my glasses nearly as much as I should, in fact I have two pairs, each spending most of the time in their cases. I only tend to wear them when I feel incredibly tired and my eyes are looking puffy.
In addition to the conversation above I received two-pence worth of advice from several students on why I should wear my glasses and I have said that I'll make a concerted effort to wear them as advised by my Optician.
So what does this have to do with my hair? Not a lot really except that I was reminded of the conversation when uploading this picture of my bad hair day! Overworked, tired and running late; I resorted to my old habit and pulled my hair back. No pretty hairtie, no ornamental flowers, no beads, no nothing, just back in a ponytail and out the door.
Not awful, but definitely not good...

Jen has some glasses that look pretty much like those. Hers are prescriptions. They make you look extra studious!!
Are you kidding me? This is a great photo. I can see those beautiful roots loud and clear and your locks are definitely getting thicker. Fab.
Beautiful smile nonetheless...

I too wear glasses but not really. most times I do not feel like being bothered. I notice that when I do wear them people tell me that I look really serious in them. I don't know what that means
I wear perscription safety glasses at work. After my safety shields couldn't be taped on them any more I started wearing the plastic safety glasses. They were awful so I went to get new side shields. Well, they didn't have any for my glasses. I got an eye exam and got a new pair. After seeing the difference in how a stop sign looks with and without the glasses, I bought a pair for everyday wear. Still I only wear them while driving.
Maryee, I always feel extra clever when I wear my glasses!
Goodnapps, Thank You! It's all Picasa; crop the pic add a bit of glow, then sepia and bob's your uncle! I can't believe the difference in my roots, it's exciting!
Thanks Jen!
Bygbaby, when I was younger (much younger!) and my friends wore glasses, I always wanted some. Now I have them I never bother to wear them. I know that in the long run this attitude will do me more harm than good.
Carmen, sounds like you wear yours far more than I do mine! And prescription safety glasses...
I have a pair that I never wear too. I want to though, but I haven't been able to find them after I moved!
Your frames are cute on you.
Oh no Brunsli, no doubt they'll turn up in the last box you unpack!
And thanks for the compliment! I must confess that I haven't worn them since that day...
You look really good in these glasses.
Thanks so much Chosen Vessel :-)
