I’ve had glasses since I was about 2 years old. For some reason my brain decided it only wanted to look through my right eye, then my left became weak and developed a strabisthmus (turn in toward my nose). Bring on the sexy glasses!

Although glasses straightened it out most of the way, junior year of high school I had surgery to completely straighten it out. That also meant I could finally wear contacts for the first time in my life!

It was such a strange transition. I had phantom glasses syndrome, where I’d try to push them up on my nose even thought they weren’t there anymore. I got used to the contact world quickly, but my vision was still unfabulous even with them.

You know your vision gets worse as you grow older? Well my younger self asked my dad once, since my vision was already terrible could it get better instead? He told me he didn’t see why that couldn’t possibly happen so I kept my hopes up…

Then I went to my eye doctor yesterday, and he reduced my prescription for the second time in the past to years – I can now see 20/25 with my contacts! Even he was even impressed – “Not bad for a blind lady, right?”. I know that sounds sad to most of you with perfect (I hate you) vision, but I feel like I am slowly seeing more of the world that we live in and it makes me happy.

Since I woke up still happy about my eyes this morning, I decided to make myself a bigger-than-usual weekday breakfast. I promise it still only took me 30 minutes to cook this, eat it, get dressed and get out of the door (granted I do shower at night). And it was so good! I love my various food magazine subscriptions but Women’s Health rocks for this one.

Another great option is breakfast quesadillas. Or if you’re evidently as breakfast burrito obsessed as I am, I also have recipes for Chorizo Breakfast Burritos for extra spice, Breakfast Quinoa Burrito Bowls for more protein, and Better Breakfast Burritos with sneaky vegetables.
