Happiness Is New Sunglasses

As I've mentioned previously in this blog, I love Serengeti sunglasses.  They have a lense that is specifically made for driving that cuts the glare and usually aren't too dark when you are going in and out of sunlight (trees).  The thing is they are expensive.  And I tend to be hard on my sunglasses since I use them so often.  I'm always scratching them or breaking them.

So the last couple of times I've gotten new sunglasses I've gotten either dollar store sunglasses or the less expensive Kirkland (Costco) brand.  They have been okay.  Well, no, they've been awful, but I've made myself think they were okay.  There is a big difference between a pair of sunglasses you wear when you are on vacation and the kind you wear when driving.

Finally, I got tired of pretending I liked the other ones and went and bought myself some new Serengeti's.  I couldn't find the exact kind on line (must be an old style or something), but they look mostly like this:

Of course I went to Costco.  I can choose from the 6 types they have there without my head exploding.  They were stupidly expensive but I've been wildly happy being able to see again while driving.  I think I've bordered on annoying in my joy.  Happily, the sunglasses are slightly less stupidly expensive at Costco then they are at a sunglasses store, so I can be happy I can see AND I saved money.  How's that for a win-win?

Yeah, it's stretching things.  Give me a break.  I found something to be happy about!
