Set of 8


I do not know why I have the following quirk but I do!  I have talked about it before and here is yet another story of it.  I have a set of glasses like the above glass.  They are not expensive at all and are called window pane style.  They are lightweight and I have 8 - which is more than plenty for a man that lives alone.  Recently I while washing dishes I shattered a glass, unfortunately that is a very common occurrence for me.  It was in pieces and no salvaging it so I threw it out and was bummed out about it.  It left me with 7 glasses - still more than enough for a man that lives alone but I was mad at myself that I did not have the full set anymore because I broke one.  I did not get too, too upset but it bugged me and then I eventually let it go and secretly prayed I did not have 8 thirsty people at my house.  Recently while at Salvation Army I came across this single, exactly the same glass as my set that was sitting on the shelf.  It was 99 cents and on sale at 50% off --- it sooooooo made my day!  All I could think was, that is my glass - it came back to me - I connected the dots and gleefully snagged it in order to purchase it.  I got it home and then washed it and now I have a set of 8 again and the world seems right.  Isn't that just craziness?  First I don't know why I keep replacing things that break with the same exact thing - that is weird in and of itself but how happy I was to have my set of 8 again is bonkers.  Anyway c'mon over!  I have plenty of glasses for everyone to have a drink.  Oh man I need one right about now.  It feels so bizarre to see you own insanity but even more other worldly to actually put it into words.
