Cloth Diapering Event 10/17

Jadabugs just called me to let me know they're holding an informal babywearing and cloth diapering informational event Friday afternoon/evening 10/17/08 at 5pm in their boutique located at 80150 Highway 111, Suite C-1, Indio (Jefferson and 111).

If you'd like to learn about cloth diapering or babywearing (use of a sling) or if you have cloth diapers or slings to trade or sell you may bring them in to this event.

I myself use both! Or more specifically, Tristyn uses both :)

Cloth diapering can appear tricky with all the modern options out there, but I can assure you its VERY simple and NOT icky! If you are curious, or want to check out some different styles of cloth diapers come to the event!

I think it's okay to come by between 5 and about 6:20

Happy Chickadee Contest

My great friend Amber and another friend Shari are two cool mama chicks that just launched their very own fresh and hip girls' boutique online at happychickadee.com. They scour the globe to find super cute gifties, gear and clothes for girls under 4, and many are handmade!

I suggest you head on over and check it, and while you're there enter in the contest they're holding on their blog!

P.S., they have a super cool Give Back program that sends a portion of their sales to 3 different charities. See? I told you they were cool 'chicks'.

The Women

I got to go to a moooviiiie. Haven't been to a theatre since 1/1/07. Yes, that's 1 year, 9 months and 17 days ago. The movie was ok, the company was great!

What Time Of Day Are You?

You Are Midnight

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits. Whether you're a night owl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle. Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it. You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

What Time Of Day Are You?

Random Solo Dancer Dude

So I'm in my backyard tonight, and I hear some thumpin music. I cruise over to the sideyard to take a peek over the fence. What do I see? Some dude (who doesn't live there) is hip-hop dancing...by himself...all serious...in my neighbors garage.

I had to go back inside (tip-toeing so as not to step on a leaf and spook Random Solo Dancer Dude) to get my camera. Spy-video of Random Solo Dancer Dude is a must. For your viewing pleasure, may I present to you: Random Solo Dancer Dude Spy-Video as taken by myself with the camera lens positioned through a whole in my fence.



He's got a fan pointed at him to cool him down, y todo.

In my haste to get the RSDD on vid, I left my back slider open. Upon returning inside my house, I heard a noise in the baby's room (she was sleeping in the guest room at the time). Right away I knew what it was. My next-door neighbor's cat always saunters into my house if given half a chance - and there he was under Tristyn's crib. Then he moved himself into the triangle-shaped space between the angled crib and the wall, playing with the canopy fabric. So I got inside T's crib to coax him out. Frightened, the cat jumps into what he thinks will be an empty crib, yet it ends up being my back. Equally surprised, we are both still for a few moments collecting our thoughts on the situation, and I think to myself OMG could RSDD get me back by snapping a picture through the window of myself in a crib with the neighbor cat on my back?! Whatevs, even if he did I still found a lost pacifier and Tristyn's cell phone back there where the cat was.

This is why I stay up after every one else has gone to bed. This ultra-random stuff just does not happen between Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!

Feels like it's 18 o'clock

Wow, it's only 12:30? Feels like it's 18 o'clock because Tristyn went to bed at a normal baby time. I totally fell asleep with her - that is until The Husband woke me up with this:

"Hey? Want a McFlurry?"

No, I don't want an effing McFreakingFlurry, I want to sleeep...as evidenced by the fact that I accidentally fell asleep at 8 0freakin4pm. Why the EFF would you wake me up? Ugh.

"K, well I'm going to McDonald's"

Of course now I am fully awake after having taken an hour long nap so late in the evening. Unable to go back to sleep, so I actually had some time to myself while I ate the Oreo McFlurry I didn't ask for. Time. To. Myself. Just wanted to savor that last bit before I hit the hay. Working for my mother in law in the morning. Yes, I am nuts, but hey, she's paying me. Granted, it's in dog biscuits...but I can prolly sell them on eBay, no? Or etsy if I craft a fancy knitted holder/display case for 'em. What?

Me and Belinda

Me and Belinda...and the twins in her belly.
