A little ray of sunshine in an otherwise bleak world: http://community.livejournal.com/boob_nazis/1722609.html

I just feel giddy over that.

Topie and I went to the library. We watched a mom signing with her small daughter, who is deaf. She recommends the Signing Time DVDs to learn signing. So now I'm extra glad I checked it out last week. Now we just have to watch it. Also got the old PBS version of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. Must see how my adult self likes that version.

Jake and I had lunch at Uno's today, and we made the shocking decision to get this chocolate monstrosity for dessert. Ugh. I haven't felt sugar-sick in a long time.

Tomorrow is payday. Yay. We have very few bills to pay out of this check. I'm very glad.

I'm a little disappointed that I didn't end up making any money knitting. I think from now on I'll keep it off my friends page and maybe try someplace else. I have GOT to come up with some money, and I have all this stuff sitting here wanting to be sold and used. Grr.

Topie is wearing the longies I made her. Today is a bit chilly, so it's perfect. She is so cute in them. I should make her some more in a different color.

I've been thinking a lot about making this journal friends-only again. It's probably a good idea. I don't think the world needs to know my thoughts. I might even trim down my friends page soon. Not sure.

*Dun dun duuunnnnn*! Don't cut me, k? :D

That baby shower would be awesome. Especially if it was also combined with things for CDing. I remember at one point when I was pregnant when Matt's cousin, who has a baby girl about a year older than our babies, said something about us saving up because "formula and diaper get expensive". I was like "Yeah, about that...." :)

It's not a big deal. I was thinking about how I'm not sure I want to be selling stuff anyway, as in adding to the consumerism and all that crap. Especially since 1) I mostly just want to make things for people I know, and 2) I don't want those people to feel compelled to spend money they either don't have or don't need to spend. I think that's probably just about everyone I know, including myself. I think from now on I'm back to knitting solely for pleasure, and so we can all have cute things for our cute kids. I'm so set on this being Avery's soaker I'm starting to think of just giving it to you as a gift for him. What kind of friend helps their friends dig the hole deeper, you know?

Of course, there are lots of moms out there with more money than sense, and part of me wants to totally capitalize...hyenacart is so perfect.
