I own a car now!

On 29th October I officially bought the biggest thing I have ever bought. My car! (Obviously I'm not able to pay for it, so thanks Grandpa/Family!) The car is already in Germany, so they dealer might get it around the 15th November and once they have cleaned, sorted out the official stuff and put on the winter tires I should get it around the 19th. I already have my license plate (in Germany you can either get a random number, or pay for one you want). My initials and four numbers, my birthday and the one from my dad. It looks like "S - XY - 1234". 

I had to get the option with the sat-nav and the better radio (DAB) because the model without it would have a delivery date of March 2019 in the colour I wanted. 

The car is made in Japan. Which I think is totally cool. A real Japanese car. Now the third one in our family. To bust the myth that we all drive around in German cars. Nope, you pay so much more for so much less. For real, for example a Volkswagen with the same stuff in it as my Jazz would cost at least 3.000€ more. And everything else, like changing tires or service is also more expensive. 

So the last wait period has begun! The only thing I have or rather my Dad has to do is figure out the insurance stuff. The insurance runs on my Mum because it is cheaper that way. Oh, and pay once the car is here. ?

      Any bets on whether the baby will be going home from the hospital in a penguin onesie?

      Oh penguin that thing is ugly. Someone in their circle should crochet them a cute one. Here's another option for when the child is a smidge older; it even includes a bow so you can distinguish that she's a penguinette.

      Yes. There are always reasons for if it didn't work out. The people involved are blamed as the problem not the cult-like teaching.

      It's weird how it's never the ideology that is flawed or incorrect.  No, it's definitely that people are doing it wrong, because if they were doing it right, it would work.

      (I still feel bad for Kelly, frankly.)

      Katie (Bates) and Travis Clark are having a boy. They uploaded the gender reveal.

      After so many girls, the Bates have been on a major boy streak.

      I feel like maybe it's a regional thing, more than religious. My Appalachian relatives who don't darken the door of a church outside weddings or funerals also adorn baby girls with giant bows. Most recent baby girl born has bows around 4 times the size of her head in most photos. 

      Yeah, it's a big thing in Hawaii/Alaska too, and I don't think it has anything to do with religion or Jesus.
