That's great that Gabes gets her soy free lipsticks... and other goodies too;)
Joe, you absolutely could strike up a US-Aussie courier service. I can think of a few gems to bring back. Do you think you could fit Gabes' naturopath and Shauno, acupuncturist extraordiniare in your suitcase on your return trip?!
It sounds like you guys have some fun stuff planned. Looking forward to the updates!

Shauno has just become a dad for the second time and also does some serious sports like kickboxing, I dont think Joe is powerful enough to abscond him!
Shauno's wife is a lawyer so there could be some issues there as well

Yeah Gabes after seeing Shauno he would crush me like a used tinny. His wife could then sue me for littering LOL. He is a great guy though I cant wait to see him on Tuesday, after the flight I am going to need his expertise.
a 'tinny' is a small boat for fishing....
(or to get from the house to the pub during floods which seems to be the most common use for them in Qld in the past 4 months)

You guys are having so much fun, I feel sorry for the people in the "other condition" forums ;)
Gabes, I look forward to your product reviews on the lipsticks. (And btw, my house is littered with sewing & knitting experiments, plus scraps - which I really should have put aside or organized before gardening season began, because I just got back from the nursery and my hands aren't fiber-ready... you are right that MC puts the small stuff in perspective, but I could use a little perfectionism over here.)
Joe, I will be living vicariously through your adventures and cheering for you all the way.
for the hobbies and activities and foods etc that you may have to change or give up when MC comes along, the friendships that i have with this family mean way way more to me.
no one else in this world understands the 'pooped like a normal person' dance
Sara - ditto re the gardening, i have moved to a place where it is cool enough to grow bulbs, i have planted some and have more to plant. it was pretty awesome, one of my work colleagues her childrens school did bulbs as a fundraiser, in MC world I LOVE any fundraiser that doesnt involve food and chocolate, and has plants instead
have a great weekend everyone
