I was writing an e-mail today and was interrupted not once but twice by the Jehovah's Witnesses. I always get flustered when they stop by. I don't want to be mean but at the same time I don't want to be accommodating to their beliefs. I wish they would stop by in the evening so B could be home.
They gave me a little pamphlet, as they always do. I thought the title was rather funny...it says "The End of False Religion is Near!". So are they predicting their own demise??
Brandon made a recent purchase on eBay. He bought a 1984 Honda Civic for $330AU. It is a little two door, silver car he picked up in Melbourne. Brandon was really starting to get tired of the 40 minute bike ride to work. The kamikaze Magpies were not helping the situation either. I was a little skeptical at first, I mean how great can a $330 car be? But I was pleasantly surprised when he pulled up in the driveway. It looks pretty nice, hardly any rust thanks to the lack of snow and ice here. He is taking it in on Thursday to get it looked at for the road worthy test. When you buy a car here you have to get it checked out to make sure it is road worthy. If there are problems you have 7 days to fix them or you have to pay for the test again.
I guess when the car was brand new it was quoted to get 55m/gal, not bad. We will see what it gets not probably still tons better than our family car.
The baby is due in about 2 weeks. I think we have a named picked out, I guess we still need to talk about it some though. Names are hard, you may think it sounds ok but the person next to you could be like "what are you thinking?".
I have had a few contractions but nothing to get excited about. Jolene was 8 days late, this one I am really hoping won't be that late. Do you hear that kid? Yes, this is your mom talking, if you don't come out before Thanksgiving your grounded!
My b-day is this Saturday. I and some girls from church are going to a place called "George and Dragon" for coffee and dessert. On Saturday Brandon and I are hopefully going to go to Melbourne and shop for awhile. Melbourne has a lot of markets and streets that are great for shopping. It is a very artsy city, very fun to explore in, and it is only an hour away.

That is funny what you said, the reference to their own demise. That same pamphlet was left at my door last week. While home for lunch, I took it and also took the pamplets that were left at other apartment doors in my building. It felt good to get rid of them before others could read the material.
Oh my, you are due so soon! I knew you were pregnant but couldn't remember when you were due. Wow!!
Have a happy birthday!
happy birthday this saturday, meg :) and wow...I can't believe it's almost time for another baby to come! That's awesome. Wild how time flies...
we wanna come see you guys but don't know when...we'll figure something out.
Nice deal on the car. We sold the eclipse yesterday to our next door neighbor! Memories. :)
hey guys,
it is so weird/ironic that you got that pamphlet from the JW's because we got the same one today, just shoved into our apartment door at married student housing. We can be a very long distance apart and still the same things happen to us...small world huh? i wonder if it is a big campaign of theirs right now, i noticed that alicia got the pamphlet too...
anyway, i hope that you are both doing well, talk to you later,
james and esther
I'm an idiot, uh oh :-)
hey there anony,
don't call our friends idiots!!! seeing as though there was no truth to be found i don't see much of a problem. in fact maybe she was doing everyone a favor by reducing the amount of litter? shame on your manners!
