Reason #405 Why I Need a Keeper....

[scotticher]

So.

Tonight my sister came up to visit dad, and I got a night off. I love my dad and I don't mind at all spending time with him...he's a sweetheart, and he's good company. But still....a night off was kind of nice

Suck! I found my glasses when I was getting off the plane last week. UNDER MY FOOT! I didn't break them, but that's how I realized I was about to have left them on the plane. I stepped right on 'em.

You fell asleep while you were holding them in your hand because you have to take them off so you can read, right?

If not, stay tuned. It'll happen sooner or later. And the awful thing is, I'm not at all OLD! My eye doc says that it is because "blah blah blah and I have been nearsighted since I was in seventh grade and blah blah balh"

Don't be doing that again, darling. Those babies are EXPENSIVE!

Ha! No kidding there. You know what- I have a screw loose (yeah, no joke, right?) and I had them tucked into the v-neck of my shirt- the loose screw caused the arm to be loose enough to fall off. Yar! I only know because the exact same thing happened again and I realized what was up. Now I keep them in a case :)

I have a screw loose too. (BIG surprise !)

I also tuck my glasses into the neck of my shirt when I am reading somewhere other than in my own living room or at dad's house. Sometimes I even do it THERE. (BOTH theres. I'm getting so I don't distinguish between the two. I'm there, I'm here, they are both home.)

The last time I took dad in to have his glasses adjusted, the guy there spontaneously offered me a very garish glasses case. It is lime greeny color, with palm trees and such. NOT my colors. I said "Um, you are so sweet, but do you have, like, a purple one? Or blue?" and he said he didn't. Then he said "honey, you won't NEVER have a problem finding this 'un in your purse." He had a very sexy southern accent.

And...this would be true. About me never losing my glasses case, I mean. It is SO not EVER going to be able to be lost. In my purse or anywhere else. Also about the man's sexy accent, and cute butt but I have given up on all of that stuff, so I refuse to think about it. Except for now, when I am recalling that this man had

I've found mine in the most amazing places. Not recently (until now) but before I lost my beloved Kobii?, I used to leave them here and there and Kobii (who appeared to have a fascination with my glasses) would carry them all over the house. So I'd be staggering around at 6AM, looking for my glasses....and I'd find them all over the place.

She did the same thing with my keys, and believe me...that key ring weighs a TON. It is all of MY keys, the office keys and my dad's keys. Oy Vey. That girl had STRONG teeth. Or something.

I miss her so much.

Thanks, darling, but I categorically refuse to get old, and that is what those chain things mean.

On the other hand, I agree with you on this.

I have been worrying about this since I first got glasses in seventh grade. No wonder I am a mess. :D

Still, I haven't lost any glasses into tourist attractions YET, so maybe we can BOTH relax.

I was running around work the other day, utterly freaking out that I couldn't find my keys. This is a huge deal, as keys in the hands of one of the residents can be a Very Very Bad Thing. So I'm just getting up the courage to go tell the boss that I can't find my keys, and I reach for the door handle..

Only to hear the ::clink:: of my keys, hanging off the back of my ring finger, hitting the door.

I'm still wondering what this story has to do with this.
