I am the fourth blind mouse.

I don’t really ever remember being able to see anything without my glasses. I mean, I can see colors and shapes, but I’m visually impaired in the way that I once asked my optician if I would have been deemed blind in Little House on the Prairie days and he paused.

And then he said yes.

For a while I forced myself into contacts. But as it turns out, my eyes despise contacts. You would have thought I would have known that at age 11 when it took me nearly two hours at LensCrafters to get the first set in, but oh no, I persisted. Until I realized that I wasn’t actually that pretty with eyes so dry and so red complete strangers ask about the substances I’m taking. (Answer: None.)

I love my glasses, but lately I have been feeling a little run of the mill. And then last night I was watching Mad Men and realized what I was missing was a vintage-inspired pair.

And then, thanks to my friend B, I found Warby Parker. Love. http://www.warbyparker.com/

Because not only are the glasses ridiculous affordable, but they do good – for every pair purchased they donate a pair to charity.

Now to decide …  Do I go with the Coltons?

Coltons?


Or with the Miles?

Ban Comic Sans.

Amen. Preach it brother.

Romance a Millionaire.

This is real.

This ad is right! I do deserve the best! Especially that dude who clearly doesn’t look like a creepy export from another country at all.

Where in the world is the Pimpy?

Well, I’ve been busy.

(Random picture from Google Images, but that’s how I look and feel … partially because out of sheer frustration for life, and the fact I was taking a lunch break at 4p, I just bought a pair of Michael Kors shoes that look just like this.)

I’ll be honest. I hate that excuse. When people tell me that they have “been busy” I want to look at them and say, “And, what, you think I am not?” But the fact of the matter is that I have been busy … I’ve been traveling for work, traveling for weddings and working crazy hours in anticipation of some amazing things at the J.O.B. and have had absolutely zero free time.

It has resulted in me being one very stressed, not-so-fun girl.

But I’m baaaaaa-aaack and will have tons of blogs coming up on such interesting topics as “Why asking me why I’m single at a wedding is the equivalent of asking me why I haven’t lost those extra 5 lbs” and “Why I’m not even bothering looking up how to spell Amanda Zeigfried’s name properly because her acting annoys me” and other fun things.

Much love to your mother. (Especially mine, whose birthday is today!)

I got ma’amed.

So on Thursday night after the Vampire Weekend concert (which was awesome in only the way such preppy things can be) my friend and I gave three Emory kids a ride four blocks down the street. Not normally the wisest decision, but they were clearly five pitchers of PBR in and harmless. And during the five-minute ride they asked us where we went to school and if they could take us out one night. Made our night. Hilarious.

So I’m rolling through my weekend on this “I still look like a co-ed” euphoria when yesterday a young man calls me ma’am and burst my little balloon of awesomeness.

Ah well. It was nice while it lasted.
