Oops, I did it again

I accidentally ordered more glass.  ...Ok, so it wasn't so much accidental as it was impulsive.  I've been spending the evening painting the ends of all my rods (and my fingernails, because I'm 5) with white acrylic and using a Sharpie to note the color-number.  Sounds kind of stupid, I know, but some of the colors (especially the transparents) are so similar that I want to have them all labeled to make sorting and putting away easier.

Anyhow, I had a color without any labels, so I went to the site I bought it from to look up the number, ...and they had new colors listed on the front page!  NEW COLORS!  I got a few standard colors and some new mandrels too, you know, as long as I was ordering.  :D

In other happy-squee news, I got a call this afternoon from the gentleman I ordered my kiln from, a courtesy call to let me know it shipped and I should HAVE IT BEFORE THE WEEK IS OUT!!!  *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!*  I was also warned that you practically need to be an engineer or programmer to figure out the digital controller that comes with the kiln, or even just to understand the manual.  I refrained from mentioning that I've been both, just in case I do get stumped and wind up having to call him for help.  :)

This all way makes up for the migraine I spent most of the day fighting.  I did want to kill the phone when it rang, but I'm glad I answered it and got my happy kiln news!
