the new nerdy.

eye appointment day is pretty much like christmas.

my doctor is great.

for one... she's not a creep and she doesn't make she shiver with fright when she closes the door, dims the light and invades my personal/facial bubble.

{i've ripped through the directory of approved optometry providers for exactly this - a doc that DOESN'T give me the creep shivers}.

plus, when i dove into my wallet for my insurance info, she spied my anthro card

which launched us into a conversation about her fashion designer sister who designs for free people and all the awesome discounts she reaps because of it.

and i told her about the time i helped andi open the anthropologie in north carolina, which was pretty much a week long extreme arts and crafts session with unlimited budget and the gayest of all gay dudes at the helm.

twenty minutes later, we got down to business and i was reading

against the back wall.

what is about me and my medical staff?

i feel the same way about my dental hygienist.

and bonus, it's the year for new frames, so she and her staff gathered 'round to help find me the best of the best.  turns out the best of the best right now is a throw-back... the ray ban wayfarer.

when i told her my engineer friends would probably roll their eyes at me when i sport these around the office, she reminded me that this is the "new nerdy" and a fresh update to the "standard nerdy" i surround myself with everyday.

seriously, my eye doc is the best.
