So JCPenney was having this great optical sale where you could get two pairs of glasses for 129.99. I've had the same glasses for three years so I said oh hell yes, let's do it.

So Chrissy, Nicole, Tim, and I went to the optical to have my eyes checked and help me pick out glasses. We found two pairs that we definitely liked -- one was a fun funky pair and the other was different but neat. So I went to have the lady ring them up.

Turns out that because I'm so nearsighted I have to have SPECIAL lenses. So that meant the fun funky pair would be 179.99 ON THEIR OWN. Not part of the deal. And no matter WHAT pairs I picked, the lenses would cost me $60 for each. I am not made of money. So I settled for one pair of glasses for 149. It's terribly depressing.

I don't even know if I can use Zenni Optical to get another pair because they told me I need polycarbonate lenses, otherwise the plastic lenses would be a mile thick. It really sucks, and I know I seem very shallow here but I really really wanted two pairs of cute glasses. I'm really kind of upset by this. I was really looking forward to two new pairs of glasses, and instead I end up with one. They're awesome glasses and as soon as they come in I'll show them off, but it's just really really frustrating.

ETA: So, how bad are your eyes? Do you wear glasses? Do you know your prescription?
