Swap Meet

Our little girl, she is no longer quite so little.   She’s gone and outgrown her size one diapers and now takes a stylish size two.  Unfortunately, she decided to do this before she’d actually used up all her size ones.  (We buy them in bulk off the internet.)  I’d feel a little wasteful just throwing them away, so if you think you have any use for 20-odd size one Seventh Generation Bleach-Free* diapers, drop us a line.  Otherwise I guess we’ll just store them for use the next time around.  Or maybe some kind of crafts project!

*Don’t worry, we haven’t gone all environmental on you or anything.  It’s just that non-hippie diapers all come emblazoned with Disney or Sesame Street characters, and as you know, we’re a Veggietales family.  If they strapped Archibald Asparagus on a diaper, I’d buy it, even if it were coated in strychnine and made from baby harbor seal pelts.

So you all know the story of the three year old who had the Jim Lehrer-themed birthday party, right? Lets just say I’m starting early with filling Pru’s head full of interesting tid-bits about Michael Barone, and leave it at that. See you in 2 years, 9 months!

Given that today is both Super Tuesday and Mardi Gras, I wonder if there will be people outside our polling station handing out strands of beads and screaming “Show us your ballots!”

Hopefully, no.

Either way, this is just a friendly reminder that if you are a denizen of one of the bazillion states that hold primaries or caucuses today (viz., Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee,  Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois,  Minnesota, North Dakota, Oklahoma,  Colorado, Utah, Arizona,  California and Alaska, plus West Virginia and Montana if you’re a Republican and  Kansas, New Mexico and Idaho if you’re a Democrat) and you’re  properly registered to vote in your municipality, then  go vote.   It’s fun, and if your polling station has  old school voting machines it’s a great workout for your right bicep.

… so that means:  BLOG PARTY!!

Prior to Pru’s being born and our getting married, much of any given day could be spent composing blog posts in my head.  I could roll around a phrase until it was polished enough for public consumption.  I was able to really work through an assertion and get a final product that I was fairly confident would stand the critical eye of the hoards of people who frequented AGoCh.  I could actually sit down and read Latin.  It was a beautiful time for prose, really. 

After Pru, however, my thoughts have been composed of lists of things I do/don’t want Pru to do.  Samples from the last few days:

A List of Professions We Don’t Want Pru to Consider When She Grows Up:

  1. Thief
  2. Porn star
  3. Welfare Queen
  4. Contract killer
  5. Lawyer
