Keep it Like a Secret

bringing down da house.

2:31 p.m., May. 10, 2003

So in the course of three hours, our offer on the Best Two-Bedroom Condo in Chicago was accepted, and then rescinded, because a new offer came in after ours was accepted and it was $4000 more than ours.

That's a lot of money if you're talking about paying off your credit card, or buying a car or furniture or something. But it's pocket change when you're talking about real estate.

So basically, our dreams were shattered over nickels and dimes.

Everyone says that things happen for a reason, and we'll find a different place.

I wanted this one.
