I used to be fairly confident that Jerel was the older looking one but I recently received some devastating news that may just change that. It started out as a routine visit to the eyedoctor and ended with the revelation that I will now be wearing bifocals. Me: "You mean like what old ladies wear?" Dr: "I can call them 'progressives' if it will make you feel better.'" She also warned me that I will be basically running into things and falling over for the first couple of weeks until I get used to them. I told Jerel the horrible news and he very sensitively said "aren't those like granny glasses?" In other tragic news, Jerel's hair stylist has moved away. I can't imagine why someone making $8 an hour at Supercuts would ever want to leave, but his beloved Tina is gone. At first I wasn't too concerned. See, with his dentist, the one he had for 32 years, Jerel felt it was perfectly reasonable to fly to Utah for a cleaning. I tried pointing out that there are more than a few dentists located within the state of Oregon but to no avail. Last year his Utah dentist retired and he was forced to find a new one. Anyway, I assumed he would just find out which state Tina had moved to and start flying out for his haircuts, but apparently he was unable to find out where she is. First the dentist and now Tina. I don't know how much more loss he'll be able to handle. (As a boring sidenote, the whole flying to Utah for the dentist thing was funny when Jerel tried to convince me that the cost of the airline ticket should be deductible on our taxes as a medical expense. I mean, it wasn't really funny to normal people, but to me it was funny.)
I guess we will both have some adjusting to do. I really shouldn't be surprised, I mean I already crochet doilies and I am seriously looking forward to being old enough to dye my hair blue, so I guess this just brings me one step closer to my true identity as an old lady.

you don't have to get bifocals just get those glasses that set on the tip of your nose. You can make them seem cooler by getting a beaded holder so you can hang them around your neck when your not using them. Make sure the beads are bright and big. That's the key.

Maybe you could knit a knecklace thing for your glasses. You aren't allowed to dye your hair blue til you are at least 65 though. Sorry.
Bifocals....old lady....Hey, that's me your talking about! And I had no problem adjusting to them. I was concerned about headaches and such, but with the new "progressives" it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.
Good luck getting out for Christmas. Chris is supposed to fly in tomorrow...yikes! Love you,
