Aug. 15, 2008 - Contact with Contacts
I just recently got new glasses, and, for the first time ever, contacts! I was pretty excited about that, because I have been kind of wanting contacts for a while. I didn't think that glasses looked very good on me. I think that was because the glasses that I had before were much too small; I had them for three years.
So, when I finally got my contacts, it was kind of strange, because I felt like I was pretending that I didn't have bad eyesight! People can't really see the contacts in my eyes, so they can't know that my eyes really aren't all that great.
I really like my glasses, however. They are a little more colorful than my old ones, being bright blue on the inside and a dark purple on the outside. I am actually wearing them in my new avatar picture, which I think is pretty cool, by the way! 
I am still getting used to putting the contacts in. My right eye is pretty easy now, but my left eyelid is actually pretty strong, because it does NOT want to let anything past it! It is getting easier, but let me tell you, I do feel rather silly trying to relax my eyelid!
I keep dropping them, too. They don't stay on my finger very well, but they have been relatively easy to find, so far.
One time, I was able to take my right contact out quickly, but then I forgot I was taking them out, and thought I was putting them in! I looked in the container for my left contact, and it wasn't there! I started to get somewhat worried. Great. I had only had them for two or three days, and already I had lost one. Then, with some slight embarassment, I realized that it was still in my eye. I hadn't even taken it out yet.

Hello Eyebright,
Congratulations on being the Featured Blogger!! :-)
Thanks for your comment. I really like your new glasses... I was noticing before I read your post that your new profile picture is really cute. :-)
Thankfully, I only have to wear glasses when I drive, but everyone else in my family wears either glasses or contacts all the time.
I hope you have a great weekend!

I totally love your avatar! very nice!
That is a funny story about your contacts! lol. I have never had any trouble with my eyes (which I am so thankful for), but I had a friend once who wore contacts. He actually got a piece of metal stuck to his eyeball from his contact. His the white part of his eye was black and had to have surgery. His mama said that he was in so much pain! I cringe everytime I hear that story or think about it!
not to make you worried or anything! :P
I am really excited you won! that is really awesome!
Love,
Miss Amanda

LOL! :)
I love your contact story! I don't have contacts, I have reading glasses I'm supposed to wear, I hardly do. I'll probably will get contacts, almost all my relatives do, and my sight of fare away is continually getting worse.
But anyway, don't feel blond!? (If that's how you feel. :) ) We all have those kind of moments in life. :)
I love your profile pic. Your pretty. :)
Congrats,
*RacH*

Great post! I also wear glasses, and people are always telling me horror stories about contacts. But reading this makes me feel a little better if I ever wanted to.
Have a Great Day!

I like how you said "but my left eyelid is actually pretty strong, because it does NOT want to let anything past it!" Both of my eyes would probably be like that, and I'd never be able to put contacts in. Though at this time I do not have the need for glasses, one day I might. I don't really pay attention to the look of glasses, but when Breezy saw your new avatar she said, "She got new glasses!" (she also said that your new avatar is very cute). :D They look very nice on you.

I love your new blog design and avatar!
A belated congratulations on being the Featured Blogger. I haven't been visiting HSB blogs in awhile because I have a new blog (www.amandaread.com - feel free to stop by sometime! I have my HSB blog iframed), but I really should because I miss hearing from my Homeschool Blogger friends!
Hope all is well with you!
Take care and MAY GOD BLESS,
~Amanda~

That is so neat! Contacts are exciting. I only have glasses, but, I am going to get contacts very soon.
I am a little nervous. Is it hard to put them in?
Thanks for the comment on my template. I agree, both Breezy and Joceyln did an excellent job!
Blessings,
Anne

Contacts are certainly a change, aren't they?
BTW, if I happened to leave the wrong comment on your blog, just disregard it.

I am glad that you liked my Little Portrait Book. It was enjoyable to make, and has the vintage look that I like so much. If you end up making one, it'd be great if you posted about it. ;)
