how many of you wear reading glasses? i began wearing them, after a lifetime of 20/20 vision, about a year & a half ago. i went to the doc complaining of migraines, dizziness, & of feeling as though i had motion sickness when watching tv. of course, i thought i was dying from a brain tumor. turns out i was just getting older. whew.

my reason for writing this is curiosity. if you do wear reading specs, how many pair do you own? & don't say just the one, because we both know you'd be lying. i learned quickly that they are forever being misplaced or forgotten. also, where do you keep each?

i shall start - i have five pairs. i keep one by the bed (though right now there are two), one at the sewing machine, one in my diaper bag, one in my hand-sewing basket, & one that is homeless (the one currently visiting the bedroom pair). the homeless pair should be relocated to weasley (my suv), but i most likely shan't ever remember to do so.

before you faint from shock at the cost of five pairs, i should tell you, i got them at the japanese (nearly) two dollar store. i was surprised to find such cute specs there, so bought a bunch. more than the five i listed, if truth be told. the others were misplaced, one at a time, early on. sigh.


don't you love the pair in that photo? mine are cute, but not that cute. i think it would be great fun to have 1920s reading glasses, though i would want the faux tortoise, not black. no need to walk around looking like moaning myrtle's mother.

so your turn! how many, & where are they? links to your dream specs too, so we can all see! (ha! unintended pun there.)
