I'm pretty well aquainted with Murphy
As in Murphy's Law.  You know those phrases like "life is what happens when you're making plans" or "You plan, God laughs."  I like looking into my financial future and trying to plan what I am going to be doing in the next few months with my finances.  I do this because Christmas is coming and I am moving in with a friend so my rent is going down. 
Then I am driving along today on my way to meet a friend for brunch and it happens.  Car Accident.  I am fine.  They're fine.  It was just that, an accident.  I feel stupid because it was just one of those things, but I keep thinking "how much is this going to cost?"  I have insurance, but there are deductibles, rental cars, and incidental costs.  My front bumber is toast.  My car was in perfect condition because it was only 8 months old.  They're back bumper is just scratched.  I would still have it this way.  Thank God they were okay.  They were great.  I cried.  My dad fussed.  I feel stupid. 
If it's not one thing, it's another.  sigh.

Oh, dangit! That sucks. I hope your dad and brother like the new front bumper on your car, since that's what they're getting for Christmas! ;)
I am glad that you are okay and also that you hit someone that was nice. Considering that the accident was in Mountain Brook, it could have been a lot worse... you could have hit someone rude or mean (or someone from the Y).
On a side note, I think it could have been a truly beautiful thing had you rear-ended Dr. Gentry.
Peyton you're a nut.
Good thing it wasn't raining or else it would have been just horrible ;)
