I think I will just wait a bit and see what happens. If I look at this as an opportunity to possibly do more shopping in the future I guess it’s not so bad!

First of all I want to say that I love your experiment and would love to try and do the same….However, it is hard with 2 girls who want everything…( and who already have been exposed to the TV!) but I guess we can try, we’ll take baby steps and see what happens….
About the broken glass, I say and I should take my own advice MORE OFTEN but here it is, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” You still have 5, and I am a lot like you, probably have OCD, but was never diagnosed! So I get how you are feeling that odd #, it is hard, but I say wait until a few more break (b/c it will happen, esp. being pregnant and clumsy- I was terrible!) and then get a whole set used on e bay or craigslist or you favorite consignment shop. Just my 2 cents.

I love that you have this wee bit of OCD going on. But my suggestion, to save you days of angst, is to find a replacement glass of the type you broke on EBay or craigslist or Overstock… I have complete faith that by the end of the day you will have found the exact make and model of the shattered piece, and the world order will return.
Do be sure to report what happens!
