why booklover wears glasses...

I’ve had glasses since I was eleven or twelve, and am fairly vision-impaired without them.

On Saturday, I went to the pool and of course had no glasses on as I prepared to get in. At the other end of the pool, I thought I saw a fascinating sculpture; I figured that a kids’ class had somehow put together some kind of giraffe-type animal with the different flotation devices available.

I walked closer to it to figure out how it had been constructed. Suddenly, when I was about three feet away, it moved!!

Turns out it was a woman doing yoga–she had been holding a pose for the length of time it took me to approach, then shifted as I got closer. Geez, she scared me. I must’ve looked pretty strange, scoping out this woman/sculpture from all angles!

Maybe it’s time to go for that lasik surgery after all, if only to prevent moments like this.

One can only imagine what this woman must’ve looked like.

The mind boggles.

Best story I’ve heard all day!

Well, she had one leg stretched up in the air, which to me was the neck of the giraffe…
