the power of orange knickers
It drives me crazy when some commercials are way louder than the tv show. Discovery Health is having a Untold Stories of the ER marathon this afternoon, so I've had it on while I've ironed a million things. I have been successful in cleaning off the to be ironed papasan chair so it can be moved down to storage. We ordered all the baby's furniture Thursday. We basically ordered the room - the crib, dresser, glider. We feel in love with the wood and really found nothing else we liked (and we look elsewhere). Ben and I are both people who once we find something we like we just look for it elsewhere.
We also, finally, found a tv stand. We looked at like 15 places - furniture places, tv places, random places and finally found the perfect stand at target. of course. it was nice to finally find it, but seriously, target? somewhere we go there somewhat often. but, in the end, we knew exactly what we want and can never say we didn't look hard enough...not that we would, because it is fabulous.
the life of leisure is tiring. all this tv watching really takes it out of you. well, yesterday we did venture out to take the cat to the vet. she had to get some more blood drawn so she could be typed to become a blood donor. since i currently can't give blood, i've been all about trying to encourage others in my life to. not that the cat has a choice...
i've been doing more research on cloth diapers. I have to admit that I am back on the fence about a diaper service. There is only one in the entire chicago area, so i figure, they are probably driving by my street anyways, so how much more CO2 would using them contribute? How is that offset by their economies of scale with water and dryer heat? Turns out you have to wash the diapers a couple of times... Add the convenience and i'm leaning toward the service. I am leaning mainly because it turns out the service isn't that expensive (less than disposables) and it offset somewhat by the avoiding having to buy the diapers.

Apparently what you really have to do is boil the diapers to wash them properly. At least that's what I've heard.
