Ha! Milbury's triple overtime prediction failed to take into account my family's hereditary knack for poisoning playoff chances! (The Cubs don't have a prayer of a World Series win as long as my dad is alive...)

We broke my mother's rental car.
Oops
10:45 pm and it sounds like all the boys are asleep. Phew!
Oh Lee, that is an oops! Hope it's something minor.
Well, it no longer goes in reverse.
And yesterday my mother was telling us she was somewhat proud of herself for not getting insurance
Oh dear, Lee. Think the company will notice? "What do you mean it doesn't go in reverse? That must've happened after we returned it"
Sarameg, go you. One on one is good too.
I had a bunch of folks over (there was a meet up I went to down the street, and it started at 5pm so I said folks should come over and we ordered some pizzas and I had some snacks and booze). Thankfully my roommate totally rolled with it and it was good times. There was one slightly weird girl who was v drunk. And she went inside to use the bathroom when only four others of us were still here. We heard a scream, and went out to the street to see what happened...nothing...came back, couldn't find the girl. Searched my house three times and there's still a part of my brain convinced that when I fall asleep she will sneak up and murder me. OMG.
Well, we told our broker yesterday that we wanted to put an offer on this house. And today I woke up with a terrible cold. Hopefully it's not a sign.
[edit: The photos of the house are pretty terrible, but trust me, it's gorgeous in person! I'm actually glad they didn't stage it and get professional pics taken, because otherwise we'd be in a bidding war for sure.]
That kitchen looks incredible.
I *love* the kitchen. This is the antique stove in there now - I have a feeling I'll love cooking on it for about a month before the charm wears off and I want to replace it with something modern. But since it's a gas range, swapping it out wouldn't be a major renovation. (A lot of the other homes we looked at had electric cooktops and teeny wall ovens. Ick.)
I'm curious, though, why you're looking at Westchester, as opposed to, say, Montclair or West Orange or Maplewood. It would be a much easier commute!
