tobermory's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guys don't make passes...... I�m all signed up for the new health club � dues are paid through December of 2006, so I can get off the stick and get started. In fact, if I want to really get my money�s worth, I need to go about 70+ times before the end of the year. That averages out to approximately 2.18 times per week � a daunting number, but a number I think I can manage. Yay. I can go home tonight and pop on over to use their elliptical trainer for a half hour or so before dinner. They have me a handful of guest passes so I�m hoping I can get Steve to give it the old college try. He�s not much for gyms, but I think he agrees with me about preferring the YMCA vibe over the more clubby vibe so he might actually enjoy the new place. On the way home last night I picked up my new glasses. At the GB mini-con I bought three pairs of frames from Mare and I finally got around to having my eyes examined, getting my new prescription, and lastly, coughing up the $$ to have the lenses made and put in to the frames. Typical me, I can�t leave well enough alone. You�d think that getting a fantastic deal on three fashionable pairs of lenses would satisfy me, but no. I started talking to Peggy, my glasses guru, and she got me trying on sunglasses. The problem with this is that this particular optical shop is extremely expensive. When I was getting my exam a week ago I was drooling over a pair of frames that cost, and I shit you not, $545. And keep in mind that�s before having the $125 lenses put in. Ouch. I tried on a few pairs and then mentioned that there was a pair I saw last year when I was in, the LaFont �Lola� glasses, that I loved. Lucky me! They�re still available. Could I say no? No. But, I do need another pair of prescription sunglasses, so I guess it�s ok. I�ll have to tell Steve that because they were last year�s model they were on sale � hopefully he�ll fall for that and not ask too many questions.
