CRASH!!!!!!!

Long night last night. We were up till around 1am doing random things on the Internet and we both realized that it was 1am and should go to bed! So Kevin was putting things away and I was in the bedroom and I heard a CRASH!

It totally sounded like he had fallen through a window or something so I ran out and he was standing in the kitchen shaking his head...

He had been putting the bottles of liquor away on top of the fridge and his brand new bottle of gin had fallen right on top of our 3 month old glass cooktop stove and shattered the whole thing.

Brand new stove...ruined beyond repair. If we were single, it wouldn't be a big deal but we need the stove to make dinners for MaeMae. Also if we were single, we'd have the $$$ to go buy a new one...but we don't.

Kevin ran downstairs to check how much a replacement top for the stove would be and gulp: $400 to replace the top and $500 for a brand new one.

This just sucks...it'd be different if this stove was a junker but it was brand new when we bought our house 4 months ago. What a waste.

Kevin is so mad at himself, but I told him accidents happen and he shouldn't have been up so late anyway. (secretly, I'm really glad it was him and not me!) The biggest yuck about the whole business is that not only do we have no stove now but we were saving up money to replace the awful fluorescent light in the kitchen and now we'll have to use that money for a new oven: when we had a new oven!!!

Lesson learned: Don't stay up late on a work night! Only bad things can happen...
