Falling arches, blurring vision, & stray chin hairs......

OK ..... so how did I go from perfect vision to my arm isn't long enough to hold a needle and thread far away enough to see to thread it?!? HMMMMMM?!?!?! Well, to be honest, it didn't happen over night .... but over the course of the past few years. At first it was kind of fun buying jazzy, snazzy "cheater" glasses like these.....









.....but then I started to need glasses more and more ..... I had to make sure I kept a pair in my purse ..... at first for reading menus in restaurants .... and now I find I need to use them at work ..... I NEVER had to do that before!!!.... I have to keep a pair by my sewing machine .... I have to keep a pair on my desk...... and I have to keep a pair downstairs in the kitchen to read those teeny, tiny labels on cans, etc ..... and to read through examples in my kid's algebra book ... and to read recipes ..... SHEESH !!! ...... and today I discovered yet another room in the house where I should keep a pair of glasses ...... that being the bathroom ..... seems I now can no longer spot a big ol' black hair hanging out of my chin .....not to mention my unibrow growing in ...... nope..... looked in the mirror while combing my hair and putting on mascara (and now I'm amazed that I can do that without glasses on .... oh wait, maybe I go out in public everyday with black blobs that I think are my long luxurious eyelashes like they talk about on the commercials.....) .... anyhow, today I left the house thinking " hair combed, make up on .... I look good! .... then when I got out in the car , I put my glasses on to read through my list of stuff to take to the high school for the basket auction today, I happened to also look in the mirror ....... and then I looked closer ...... WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!?!? .... a GIANT BLACK HAIR STICKING OUT OF MY CHIN !!!!! GASP !!!! I flew back in the house , running upstairs to get tweezers, or hedge clippers while yelling at the kids "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME THERE WAS A BIG OL' BLACK HAIR HANGING OUT OF MY CHIN?!?!? ARGGGGGG!!!!! ......

........so, anyhow, I bought myself a dazzling pair of bathroom glasses ....red with fake diamonds on the sides and everything! I tried to get Daisy to model them.....

......but she was busy sticking her tongue out at my "kitchen" glasses .....








......so I got these guys to model them ....

Let's see now .... we've covered blurring vision and stray chin hairs ...(UGH! what's next ? bunions and hemrrhoids? ..... NO!!!!!) .... falling arches .... that's what! For about the past week my right foot has been HURTING when I'm not wearing my sneakers/running/walking shoes (which I wear everyday for work)....when I come home I put on my sloppy, sloshy slippers .... and then my heel and the arch of my foot HURTS ..... why? hmmmmm ..... no arch support like in my sneakers! (in other words .... MY DAWGS ARE BARKIN'!) So, when I was at Walmart I decided to look for shoes of some sort that I could use as slippers around the house with some decent arch/heel support ..... and lookie what I found!




Pretty jazzy, huh? ..... and my Valentine socks add that little extra pizazz don't ya think?





.....here's another look ..... cute plaid "earth shoes" (I guess) with .......(sigh of relief) ... ARCH SUPPORT !!!!










.........AHHHHHHH.......that's the stuff ...... my tootsies are so happy that we're dancing here at MBIAJ! (now, turn up the volume .... cause we're dancin' to Frank and Dean .....)




























































































.....OK ..... me and my HAPPY FEET are gonna go get our jammies on and dance off to bed ...... (and dream about aging gracefully!)
