retail therapy is good!

i used my last pair of contacts the last time i had pink eye. getting pink eye twice in the course of a month made me a little paranoid, and i havent worn contacts since. but enough time has passed so that my paranoia has dissipated, so i stopped by america's best to pick up some new ones.

while i was there, i impulsively decided i would get new glasses too. not cuz i really need them (especially with new contacts), and without considering the cost or how it would figure into my budget. i felt crappy, i wanted, so i got, and i felt momentarily better. 100% retail therapy purchase. BUT this is the first time i made a smart retail therapy purchase, lol. i mean, i dont wear my glasses a lot (except the last couple of weeks) but ive had them for years and the prescription is VERY old. im impressed how this worked out. usually i just buy random crap that is either useless, or that i end up hating and unclear on why i wanted it in the first place. or else it is just a completely frivolous, unjustifiable purchase. but this -- this is a completely justifiable purchase! way to go me! :)
