Where are my glasses???

I've developed an annoying little habit as of late.  I've been "losing" my glasses.

Now, I have worn glasses since...well probably 7th grade.  Maybe 8th.  So somewhere in the mid-80s.  They are just part of my everyday outfit, like putting on underwear.  So they're always with me.  I've never even tried contacts because I'm too lazy.  Glasses are easy.  They're on; they're off.

When I don't wear them, things start to get fuzzy at about 5ft.  I mean, I could still drive down the road and not run anyone over, but it would just be a little fuzzy.  So I need them for distance vision.  That means when I'm on my laptop - which is A LOT - I don't wear them.  My eyes get tired and sore if I do.  So I take them off.

(At this point you're probably thinking that I should invest in some bi-focals.  Shut up.  It has already crossed my mind.)

Anyway, losing glasses is a bit of a bitch.  Because you need glasses to find the glasses you lost.  It's a Catch-22 situation.  But there's an even bigger problem with where I'm losing them.  Lately, like some OLD person :) I've been sliding them up onto my head.  It seems to be a convenient place to keep them.  No.  It isn't.  Because when you keep them up there for so long, your old brain forgets that they're there.  And so I end up wandering around the house asking my son if he's seen my glasses.

It's silly, actually.  I'm wandering the house in a frantic search for the glasses that are perched an inch about my worn out brain.  So I either have to force myself to remember to touch the top of my head, or I will eventually make it to the bathroom where I can see myself in a mirror and see my glasses.

I think I'm going to have to get a chain for my glasses.  But they're going to have to be cool.  So if anyone has any recommendations - maybe some Etsy artist has something neat - let me know.

I'll always read through comments and take a trip over to your blog to see what you're up to. I follow a wide variety of blogs - a bit eclectic - but I love to read what other people are thinking about.
