Today I decided that I don't like wearing sunglasses. I wore them most of the day today, because we were out in the sunshine. Whenever I would take them off, I would see how bright the world really is. I would be so used to wearing them, and I would just think that the world looked like it did through my sunglasses. When ever I took them off, I would discover how bright and beautiful the world really was.
Giving money to people (espescially Australian people) who really don't want it is harder then I thought. We borrowed (or hired as the Aussies say) some movies from blockbuster on the Plukes membership, and we kept them for was too long, so the were very overdue. We told the Plukes that we would pay for them, but they wouldn't have it. We gave it to them, and they tried to sneak it in to a bag that was our so we would bring it home. My mom discovered it, and we put it inside one of the DVD's, but Jackie discovered it there, and so she casually dropped it in our van window when we weren't looking. As we were pulling out, I asked Jackie if she had the money "Yeah. Thanks!" she replied. I wasn't so sure I believed her, so I asked her to show it to me, but she just went in side with out responding. I then looked in the van and saw it. I told mom to pull almost to the road, and I grabbed it, ran in side, dropped it inside their door, yelled goodbye, and ran to the van. I jumped in, and my mom pealed out of the driveway, with James Pluke running behind waving the money in his hand. We actually got it to them, but it sure was a lot of trouble.
My blog is having heaps of troubles at the time, so I dont know if anyone will be able to even read this. I am going to take the song off, and see if that helps.
Ok, from now on to the end of the blogging contest, I am going to try to post every day except for Sunday. I don't actually know how long that will last, but hey, I will try.

Good idea for the everyday posting :-)
Well, it's working now (for me, at least). If you post every day, you'll be right up there with everyone else. 'Tis a very good idea. I'm sure it'll help with commentage.
Hey Maria--I have so done those same kinds of things from people here in Wisconsin at our church...they are funny. We can't give people money, even when it is TRULY due them!! It's a blessing and a curse, especially when you often feel better about paying!! I FEEL FOR YOU!:)
Love ya!!:)
