My pretty glass, all shattered, sigh
I broke one of my wineglasses! Aaaagggghhhhh!!
I've had half this set of wineglasses and water goblets for over 18 years. They've made it through 12 moves. I'd never broken one before today. I was trying to put away dishes, and had a bowl slip and fall and smash one that was sitting on the counter waiting to be handwashed. (Because I hate doing that and I procrastinate.)
I suppose it may be silly, but I feel awful.
Now I feel nervous about using any of my pretty glass stuff.

My mom buys glassware in lots at auctions because they go through it so fast.
I broke the same "hippity hop" glass from World Market 3 times (ok, not the same exact glass, but I kept replacing it) until they stopped carrying it. This weekend I found a version of it in acrylic which claims to be shatter proof.
We'll see about that!
