Sick

On Monday night I started to feel like I was getting the crud.  By Tuesday morning I felt like my throat was closing over and a few hours after that I had to leave work early because customers were having trouble understanding me (yeah yeah - everyones a comedian "they never understand you - you have an accent" very funny), I came home, changed into owl PJ's and basically the rest was a dayquil/nyquil/c-monster blur till this afternoon.  Feeling sooooo much better than I did AND....VOICE. IS. BACK. 

Also, other exciting news to hand, my new glasses arrived.  In my fast approaching old age I have become much more dependant on my spectacles than I originally would have hoped for - I have a pair at the office, and am fearful of bringing them home.  Reason being if I forget to bring them to work I basically in a word would be screwed.  But now, at home, I am finding I need specs here too!  New year = new health benefits and $200 benefit for glasses.  Picking new frames is usually a difficult process for me.  I'm a very picky kind of gal - I like what I like you know?  Anyhoo, one day after shopping at Costco for one of their very tasty rotisserie chickies I thought I should stop in at the optical area.  My friend Mollie purchased glasses at Costco and she's a princess, and whats good enough for Mollie would certainly be good enough for a kiwi girl.  That said, I was sceptical and didn't exactly expect to find anything I wanted.  But what do you know, BETSEY JOHNSON decided to do her own line of specs AND Costco carries them!  So friends, while I was sick Mr Big, being the great hubs that he is, picked up my new specs.  Today, finally feeling better I donned make up and took these self portraits (remember, the theme this year to star in my own life)...with the new specs for you to see

Though the camera doesn't really show it, they are apple green (my absolute fav hue) with deep green/brown frames on the front.  I'm in lurve with them, they may have to travel to work with me and at $143 including everything...I salute you Costco!
