Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Most of the babies in my recent history have used disposables, so the infinite variety and gadgetry of cloth diapers these days amazes me. Last time (pre-Noah) I used cloth was probably 20 years ago. Pins and rubber pants.

I'm eating my soup out of my new birds & butterfly, hand-painted mexican pottery. It's very pretty.

Trust my rage

Jess, have you tried the new bumGenius diapers? They look so much like the old ones that I'm trying to see the difference. Hopefully I'm done buying diapers for now, but they can be sort of addictive.

I have 2 soupbowls, 2 salad plates, a dessert plate and a couple of...I'm not sure what they are. Teeny bowls good for resting a teabad or something. Mine are more blue-based than the pictures shown (my mom picked them out knowing my pref.)

Jessica, Thanks! Do you use Bum Genius? We bought a bunch from Angel Bunz where they were on sale for the same $14.95. What makes the 3.0 different?

Oh yay! Neighborgirl T just stopped by so I was able to give her the stuff I got for her (a NM license plate keychain with her name on it and a Oxacan painted cat. Since she loves cats but can't have any because of her allergies.) I think she liked them.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Kat, there was a woman at Albertson's who looked so much like you that I doubletook about three times. Did you sneak up to Portland today?

Cass, did she look exhausted and beaten down? Cause then it could have been me. But no. I was here all day. AND, I'm not an Albertson's shopper since they have Patricia Heaton is their spokesperson and she has basically said that pro-choice positions are ridiculous and she believes abortion should be banned.

Plus, I just don't like Albertsons.

We are working on potty training. It is no time to buy diapers. We are working on potty training. It is no time to buy diapers.

Where my mantra is "I have no money. There is no cash for more diapers...."

There is a HUGE amount of cool cloth diaper technology. The snappi alone is so much fun.

Our plans for the night? Stay in the house to avoid getting hit by a stray bullet from some jackhole celebrating the new year by firing a gun into the sky.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommy, didn't you have a no-fall resolution in place? Careful!

Yeah, but that was a New Year's resolution. I fell about six hours before the new year started....

Must buy boots....

eta: Oh, and I think the resolution was something about not breaking any bones, and I think I managed that part....
