I kinda think the Duggars are strange...

...so I enjoyed this MSN article on the parents (http://tv.msn.com/mom-pop-culture/what-the-duggars-are-doing-wrong/story/feature/?GT1=28137).

Can someone explain my cats?

There's fresh water in a clean dish for the cats. I exchange it regularly, I promise. Yet Abby really likes to drink from the faucet in the bathroom. In fact, here's her latest thing: When I wake up (early) in the morning to get ready for work, Abby appears and starts meowing at me, begging me to turn on the faucet so she can get a drink.

Anyway, I think this is too cute not to share... even if the only person who bothers to watch it is my mom:




Jack, who is bigger than his sister and better than her at almost everything, has been trying hard to mimick her skills at the bathroom sink. Alas, he's pathetic and unable:

Ah, babies.

Wondering when I was going to dive into the murky waters of blogging about baby talks? That post has arrived. (You betcha!)

All of you who heard about the recent Facebook "oops" already know this, but N8 and I are sorta talking about maybe trying to have kids someday. It's, like, a huge step forward. As soon as I mentioned it to my sister, she said I need to start taking prenatal vitamins (even though we're only kinda thinking about the possibility of the eventual future addition of a small-sized person, who grows, to our household). At her insistence and with her guidance -- and after accidentally over-exciting my mum -- I've started the obnoxious process of adding yet another something to my daily routine. A daily vitamin.

Really, it's not all bad. I could definitely use a multi-vitamin anyway. It just feels a tad weird to be ingesting a prental vitamin every morning when we're many months away from concievably converging on the concept of attempting conception.

(Have I mentioned that alliteration is one of my favorite literary devices? I'm a....... nerd.)

So now that I've rambled, THERE IS ACTUALLY A POINT TO THIS POST:
gDiapers (www.gdiapers.com)


I was reading Oregon Business Magazine for work today, and there is a lead article on a Portland-based business called gDiapers. The g stands for "green." If you groan at green, I agree. It's abused. But diapers are one of the few items where I think "going green" really, really, really matters. (Hey to the baby-makers, you could actually change the world.)

But it's not the eco-friendly angle that first attracted me. That's just a huge bonus. What's really got me hooked it that gDiapers has come up with a much cleaner, easier way to do cloth or disposable diapers.

For the disposable fans, less garbage piles up.
For the cloth lovers, it's quicker and easier to clean.

PLUS you could quite easily do both cloth and disposable. You don't have to own/pack a whole bunch of different stuff to make it work.

I already feel good about gDiapers, and I'm only maybe-kinda-sorta thinking about the possible possibility of perhaps trying to actualize the concept of kids. I love them so much, you can feel free to send me some inserts -- either kind.
