Tragedy!

This morning I was cleaning my glasses and...

NO!!! 

I have had these glasses for 8 years and the prescription is still perfect.  Guess the frames couldn't hold out.  The big bummer is that my insurance won't cover glasses until January...
I'm wearing contacts.  My eyes are dry.  My vision is a bit blurry (like this picture).  My contacts have never been as good as my glasses. 

Isobel was so sad for me when she saw them after school -"It'll be okay, Sweetie --whoa.  I sound like I'm your mother -heh."

Super glue didn't work.  I am seriously considering some masking tape.
Wish I could call Hermione to fix them - repairo!

Happy Halloween! (Day 31)

Isobel decided ages ago to dress as Princess Mononoke and I decided to go with one of my old costumes -Captain Underpants!  Eva was an elephant at school but decided to be Piglet for Halloween.  Aren't we so cute? 

(I had to take the picture myself on the timer because Bryce was driving back from AZ with G.)

Several people seemed quite moved by my costume - one woman had to take a picture with her phone - one feld inclined to give me a wedgie - it was mentioned in Sunday School the next day - and when I taught Relief Society, one of the sisters told me she can't look at me the same way.  Right on!

Apparently the other best costume was Captain Jack Sparrow - I guess the Captain thing was a good idea ;)


It was great - he had the swagger and everything. 

We had ZERO trick-or-treaters - good thing we gave out candy at the trunk-or-treat at the church.  Did I mention there was a carnival at the church?  Anyway - we still have tons of candy.  Dangit!

Hope your Halloween was fun, too!
