now you can call ME old blue eyes

I got my new contacts today and they are clear. Well, with the exception of that super pale blue tint the contact makers give 'em so I can see where the fuck my contact is if I drop it, they are. I have to tell you, after nearly a decade of wearing green lenses it is VERY bizarre to look in the mirror and see my natural eye color � blue. Husband loves them and, I have to admit it, he�s the only reason I got them. When I went in to get contacts for the first time ever (with my dad) I thought getting green might be �fun� but discovered an added bonus when I got them home � my mother HATED them. She hated them with a PASSION and has complained about them for as long as I�ve had them. It is for this very reason that I continued to get them all throughout high school. When I got to college I thought I�d get rid of the green and try the natural look but I was so used to having the green and they had become my most recognizable feature. I felt like Erica getting rid of her green contacts would be like Dolly Parton getting a breast reduction. If I felt this strongly about keeping my green lenses how on Earth did anyone convince me not to get them? Easy. When your husband tells you that he�d �prefer to see your pretty blue eyes� it has a hell of a lot more pull than hearing the same statement from your mother so here I sit with clear contacts, blue eyes, and a husband who loves me more than anything. All is right in my world... |
