Well, the turquoise Smith-Corona typewriter never materialized. The ebay seller claims that she had issues with UPS’s billing system and it was “returned” to her. I suspect that she realized that she massively underquoted the shipping cost to Canada (only $13) and backed out of the sale. Honestly, aside from the wasted money spent on buying a proper spool of ribbon for it, I’m relieved. I’m very happy with my three typewriters–they all seem to work well and, frankly, I don’t need any more!
Yesterday, I ordered some funky “vintage” style glasses online (Ray Ban Clubmasters). I had tried them on previously at an optical shop and I ended up getting them online with transition lenses for the same price as buying just the frames from a bricks and mortar store. I just hope they suit me; I recall liking them at the store, but who knows. Here is a picture:
I also got some funky real vintage glasses from a shop in Vancouver off etsy.com. Right now they have sunglasses frames–I think I might keep them as sunglasses and update my prescription, but we’ll see. I have a couple pairs of sunglasses that need Rx lenses put in but they can be so damn expensive. Fortunately, they were only $40–I used my refund for the typewriter. Here is a picture:
[Edit: Unfortunately, the shop lost this pair of glasses, or perhaps sold it in their storefront, but I have requested a similar pair from them. We'll see how it goes.]
As a glasses wearer, I think you can never have too many glasses. It’s always good to have spares, and since you have to wear them, and they are very much a part of “who you are” when others look at you, it’s a good idea to invest in some good glasses and a fun variety of styles as well. Some things just don’t go well with certain pairs of glasses.
As you can tell, I’m in a vintage kind of mood lately. So you can probably guess that I was super-happy when Mad Men Season 4 premiered last night. It’s such a great series, I just wish I had gotten into it when it first came on. At least I got all caught up before the premiere.
Next, I’m long overdue for a hair cut so I think I might go for something a little preppy and ’50s style (unless I just decide to cut it all off and go messy/textured, which I might do). I think I’ll probably also go dark brown again, and cover up my grey hairs and my highlights. Having long-ish hair is starting to bug me, I hate feeling it on my neck. It gives me the willies, like spiders or something LOL.
D-
(although we had a great little group in that class).
Well, we’ll see if this works. I decided to take some pictures so I can show my little workspace in a little nook in my bedroom (it used to be a laundry closet but when we moved in, my Dad had them close up the outer door and knock down the wall (thus, expanding the bedroom a little) and moved it across the hallway. So, now I have this little niche for my desk, which fits perfectly. [This room used to be my brothers and I used to have a bedroom upstairs, next to my sister's, when we first moved here].
