…even when Mike is NOT taking a ton of laxatives in preparation for a colonoscopy, he is forever hogging the bathroom. This is especially annoying when we need to be somewhere by a particular time, and I can’t get in there to put on my makeup. This is why I prolly should get myself a good makeup mirror to have in the bedroom. We do have a dresser with a mirror, but the thing is, I’m so floopin’ nearsighted that I can’t get close enough to it to see what I’m doing. With the bathroom mirror, I can.

But the thing that is nice about makeup mirrors is that not only can I get one that is nicely lit, that I can get close enough to in order to see what I’m doing, but they come MAGNIFIED as well. Very good for the myopic among us!

I’m a geek. I admit it. I actually LIKE wearing glasses, especially now that there are so many cool-looking frame designs out nowadays. I have absolutely NO desire to try contacts again (far more trouble than it was worth), and you couldn’t pay me to undergo Lasik surgery.

I’ve needed glasses since I was seven years old, and yes, it did bother me at first, being called *four-eyes* and all. But now, as Huey Lewis sang once, it’s hip to be square, and to wear glasses, too.

But since I have not figured out a good way to apply eye makeup while wearing glasses, a well-lit, magnified makeup mirror would be a good thing for me. And no more worrying about Mike the bathroon hog!

BTW, I do have some news about Mike’s colonoscopy, but that will be another post. Stay tuned!
