Broken Glasses

I broke my glasses Easter Sunday. I have no idea how I did it, but we were on the way to my mom's house, and my nose started hurting where my glasses sit, so I took them off. I was shocked when I saw that the little piece that goes on my nose was broken, because it is made of bendable rubber. I mean, how do you break rubber?
The glasses are a few years old, so Junior suggested that instead of having them repaired I just get a new pair. I love those eyeglasses and agreed to get a new pair only if I could find a new pair similar to those at a reasonable price. Well, imagine my surprise when I found the pair pictured below. They are almost the exactly the same!The best news is that I found this pair at Zenni Optical, in their selection of $8 glasses. I think I paid almost $100 for my broken pair, so spending $8 to replace them is a pretty good deal. And because they look like my old pair, I know how they will look on me. That was always my biggest concern with buying glasses online. They may look good on the page, but there was no guarantee that they would look good on.

If you need new glasses, I would suggest checking out Zenni Optical. I have heard only good things about them, from friends of mine who have actually ordered their products. In fact, one friend was expecting a cheap pair of glasses, and was pleasantly surprised when the pair that arrived was made well. In these tough economic times, we could all use a little help saving money, and being able to get quality glasses at an inexpensive price is sure to help.

I know it will help me.

One of these days I am finally going to order from them. I just have such a hard time picking out glasses - and even harder when I can't try them on.

That is my issue, too. At least getting a pair similar to the ones I broke takes the guesswork out a little.
