When Hairy Met Sally


I am discovering as I age that my eyesight is going. The great thing about that is that I can't see my chin hairs or my wrinkles though I know I have plenty of both.

Last night Chris and I lay side by side on his bed. He was so blurry that he almost seemed attractive (just kidding! He's cute or at least that woman at the gas station seemed to think so). I was thinking that if he was all soft-lit and blurry, I had a good chance of looking better too. I asked him, "Am I blurry?" and he said "Yep, you're blurry." We lay side by side for awhile longer, thinking how good life is for us. 

In the olden days when our eyesight was better we spent more time worrying about how we looked. Now that we're both blurry we can get on to more important things. I hope we can remember what those are.

I love this post because both my wife and I are getting "blurry" as we get older too. I know I look much beter out of focus and I like her both ways. :)

I knew that is why I married an older man, so I would be in soft focus....like an eternal 50's movie. Elizabeth Taylor eat your heart out!!

Yah, I know which part of my bifocals to through to flatter her the most. But she's beautiful both ways.

She must have the same thing going with _her_ lenses, because she keeps telling me I'm cute. Hah!

Blurry is good!

Getting blurry here too--and it really is convenient timing!

Did I say how much I loved this post??? Now I realize why Scott keeps telling me I'm beautiful in the morning. He can tell I have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, so he knows he's not waking up with an alien.

Ha Ha!! It's all part of the master's plan :-)

My "girl's" vision is getting worse, which is fortunate for me. My vision is great, fortunately, she's fabulous looking :-)

My husband has horrible vision, that's why he's sure that I'm a knockout.
