1 down, 7 to go...

I have never claimed that I am not clumsy! I am the one who fell down stairs at work while talking on my Blackberry and broke 2 bones in my hand! Needless to say I had an incident tonight with wine glasses and luckily only broke one, wine glass that is not my hand again. :) It broke on me, see picture below. Dave actually had to remove embedded glass from my arm. The cause of this accident is due to the fact that I don't have a shelf in my kitchen that is tall enough to fit my wine glasses. Does anyone else have this problem at their house? I guess this house was built before they made the wine glasses as big as they are today. By the way, I am not ungrateful, I am very happy to have a house, thank you Lee (aka Mother-in-Law). Since I know how much Lee loves her wine, I am really confused on how she stored her wine glasses. See picture below on how I have stored my wine glasses. When I was putting the open box with glasses in the cabinet is when the accident occurred. I am sure you can visualize them sliding out of the open box that is on it's side while I am sliding it into the cabinet... At least all of my china made it into the china cabinet tonight without a casualty, that could have been a real tragedy!!
Blood on arm at top of picture and then down on the top of my hand

Totally understand, I had to store mine on the kitchen counter until we got our china cabinet.
