Progressive and Transition

So, you would think that by the title I'm talking about our lives without Jami, but in this case I'm not. Sadly, I don't have Jami to blame things on anymore so I guess we'll blame this one on Jeff :) My mom came down a couple of weeks ago and we got her eyes checked. They dilated her eyes so we were picking out frames while we were waiting for that to set in. We got them picked out and were starting to order everything when the doctor called her back in. She told me to just finish up and get what I get. You see, the thing is that even though she's not a grandma she kinda has the grandma eyes and she needs bifocals...I don't have those (yet). The girl was asking me about the type of lenses and I was getting the Teflon and all that stuff. I didn't want the line in the bifocal so when she asked if I wanted the transition lenses I said "yes, we don't want the lines in the lenses." I thought they were a little expensive and she's all "well, if we take the transition out it saves $50" I'm like "ewww...nah...it's worth that much for not having the line." We tallied everything up and my mom came out and paid and said her glasses were always that expensive. On Tuesday she came down and we went and picked them up. Check it out...Isn't she so cute with my two babies!



Well, we picked up the glasses and we walked outside to go to Cafe Rio for dinner. We walked outside and my mom's all "Did you tint these?" I looked at her funny and was all, no...they're the same as mine. We walked in to eat and were standing in line and I did a comparison of our lenses and sure enough...they were the same. We ate and then walked outside (into the full sun this time). I'm looking at her glasses from the side and thinking...geesh...from the side they sure do look dark. She walks along the side of my car and looks in the rear view mirror and just starts laughing. I ask what's wrong and she pops her head up and I see BLACK glasses. Oh my gosh I had ordered transition lenses thinking that was the progressive lenses. It was too late to get a picture of them darkened. I thought I had one from this weekend, but I don't. She loves them (thank goodness) and my dad even ordered him some :)
