Contact Lens Stash

So I'm a secret hoarder.

I'm working on getting rid of this bad habit, but it's a slow process.  Many strides have been made in 2013 so far, but one of the biggest and funniest accomplishments?

I'm embarassed to admit to it, but it's true:  I have 3 pairs of old hard contact lenses from 2006-2011, back-ups for those "oops" moments of throwing my contacts in a dumpster, down the drain, etc. 

Yes, that's right folks, I have been hoarding used contacts for the past 7 years.  I also have a lovely 10 case collection of contact lens cases.

I successfully purged my belongings of the old lenses today after fervently looking online for a charity to donate them to.  Someone could use them, right?  Surely?  Umm....no.  I hear my grandma and mother's voice as I searched the websites. "Nothing ever goes to waste..." But all websites said used were unacceptable.  In other words, they were considered gross...unusable.  Well, I guess I have to agree.  To the trash they go.

Maybe you'll be the lucky one to inherit the lens cases in my will.... ;)
