I broke a glass.  Not really a big deal right?  Unless you’re like me and are ubber-design conscious about every fork, dish and cup in your house.  I have a set of 12 matching all white dishes – plates, cups, saucers, the whole bit.  I have 12 glass dessert bowls to match.  I have 6 white soup tureens, matching egg cups and salt cellars.  It may be an obsession but I like things to match.  And I like white dishes with simple, clear glasses.  Like this:

a mid-size glass works for anything

So 20 days into my Compact I broke a glass.  Now I don’t know if I should replace it (buy new, search eBay for a $4.95 Crate&Barrel glass, buy one that doesn’t match – Uggh!) or have 5 matching glasses.  Even just saying that sounds wrong.  Five glasses.  Things like that come in even numbers.  It’s just the way it works.  I know I’m letting you in on my neurosis.  You can leave now if you like.  But before you do, can you tell me what I should do?

Also, before you go, I have to mention my visit to Recess.  What a treat!  If you’re in the LA area and want a great manicure or pedicure I highly recommend this chill, lovely space.  If you are green-minded like I am I can only recommend this place.  If you’re not in LA, love a good mani/pedi and are green-minded like I am maybe you should start your own Recess.  Just don’t forget who gets a discount for life, right?  And remember, DON’T THROW AWAY YOUR OLD NAIL POLISH, IT’S TOXIC!  RECYCLE!!

Now you can go.
