Christmas Party and Glasses

Last night’s dinner get-together was fun, but the food sucked big time. Aren’t Italian restaurants supposed to know how to make good Italian dishes? I ordered the spaghetti with Italian sausage and instead of, like, Italian sausage meatballs this place brought out this huge, grotesque and slightly obscene plate of plate with a big old sausage link on top. Blech. So I drank a pina colada, ate mostly salad and garlic bread.
The game part was fun. What is it about middle aged women that makes them go gaga over a stuffed Santa Claus or a Polar Bear Christmas stocking? Those were the two items that kept getting stolen—oh, and a box of Russell Stover chocolates. If you’re going to buy a good box of chocolates to give as a gift, Russell Stover isn’t the best.
Yours Truly selected a gift bag—inside was a pink lava lamp nightlight. I thought of Sparky and his lava light obsession, and my evening was nearly ruined. Needless to say, no one stole the lava lamp from me.
I got home at nine, took and bath and was in bed by ten. Whooo hooo.

BP and I got our new glasses yesterday afternoon. Mine are way cute. His—not so much. He got two pair, one pair normal everyday glasses and the other pair “safety” glasses (complete with removable side shields, attractive, eh?) for when he works with his big, manly tools. These three pairs of glasses cost us over $1000. I kid you not. Outrageous.

I now buy my frames from tkmax and then send them to an internet optician to be fitted with their prescription glazing, I got a pair of donna karan frames for £9 ( thats about $14) in tkmaxx and got them glazed for £25 which is about $34 of your funny money ) This compares quite well with the £278 that specsavers wanted me to pay for the identicle pair

Emmakins, where did you get the spectacles? Sounds like a good business to get into? Want to make spectacles with me?
