One of the first things I did when I started using a Mac every day at work this week (thanks, boss! You rock!) was find out how to increase the size of pages in my web browser. It’s command +, by the way.
My eyes are getting old. Too much staring at computer screens, squinting to read tiny words, getting headaches from too much reading in general. About two months ago, Katelyn and I started rehearsing for our gig as ‘wedding singers’ at Micaela and Kent’s wedding with our friend Michelle, who is a very talented pianist. It soon became apparent that I was having difficulty reading the lyrics. This, combined with a discussion with a co-worker who is around my age and got glasses this past January and continual prompting from my husband, made me realize that I definitely need to get my eyes checked out. I have an appointment this afternoon.
Jessica (my co-worker) quickly made me realize the up-side to needing glasses – picking out frames! Since then, Denis and I have been to Lenscrafters where I tried on various frames for fun. I always seem to move toward dark and neutral coloured frames, whereas Denis is very opinionated and says that I need frames with more colour. So many options! What’s a girl to do?

I have two frames, I got one for free. I wear my blue frames more often then the black ones. I agree, more colour is better.

I’m glad I was able to be a source of knowledge for you long-time Mac users!
I picked out frames, they are ‘olive green’!

I first got glasses in the 2nd or 3rd grade and my eyes got progressively worse until I decided to have LASIK surgery, now I don’t wear glasses or contacts and its wonderful.
When I did wear glasses though, my favorite were ones with purple frames.

ahhh that’s awesome Er! I didn’t know that either. Olive green frames seem like they’d suit you though.

oooo, olive green sound really nice!
did you know that on a pc you can push ctrl and + or – and it zooms too?!?
yup it does!
You can use command + to zoom in on pretty much any program. Comand – to zoom out. But the person above me just covered that…I just saw that now.
LOL
I think my eyesight is starting to go now…NOOOO, but glasses look like crap on me so I dont want to get my eyes checked.
