How do you know you are crazy about your glove?

Brought my glove on a 30 day trip to Europe to relace it (yet again, some of you know my saga where I put brown laces on my buffalo Nokona).
I ended up using some laces that Nokona had sent to me years ago. They were too orange looking, so I actually twisted them and used the sueded side out and it is a nice light brown that looks good with the leather (to me anyway).
Unfortunately, I was a lace too short and had to use a Tandy tan on the exterior web lacing and I am really not happy with the look of it because it seems too yellow to me on the suede side and orange on the smooth side of the leather. I actually wrote to Nokona from Naples, Italy to ask them if I could buy some extra laces to finish the glove properly.
Sigh. That is obsession. I do wonder what my cabin steward thought when she came in and found a baseball glove, pliers, lacing needles and a bag of laces strewn on my bed.
Now if I could just find somewhere to get one proper Nokona lace to finish the glove since they have not replied to my request yet.
