I think if you smile you will find that your new glasses make you look great. I have two sons who also wear glasses and they are 16 and 18 and i tell them to smile and think happy thoughts because when you are happy on the inside it shows on the outside.
Your pillow is great too and with all your wonderful talents both with quilting and with the way you teach i dont think you will be unemployed for long..come to Australia they are looking for teachers...
