I received $75 dollars from my grandma and $30 from my dad for my recent birthday. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm a pathetic loser and I spent the money on some really nice high quality cloth diapers for my future babe. I could've bought a really nice purse or a sweet pair of shoes, but lately my shopper's lust is caused by expensive cloth diapers, of all things. I'm sure it's a sign of things to come.



I decided it would be smart to order diapering supplies that I don't know how to or don't have the resouces to make, so I purchased wool diaper covers (in 3 sizes)and organic hemp one-size diapers. I mean, I guess I could make these things, but I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart and the local fabric store don't stock up on yards of hemp diaper fabric. Also, the book I own that is supposed to teach me how to knit is really scary and overwhelming, so I leave it alone. I was really pleased with how fast I received my order from Tiny Bird Organics. I hope I get to order more soft n' fluffy diapers from them again sometime. Maybe that's what I'll ask for when Christmas and our anniversary rolls around. Ha.

I'm definitely reserving these for my own tot instead of sharing them w/ the baby I watch now. Sorry to those readers who are not quite as enthusastic about cloth diapers as I am. Maybe I'll try to shut up about cloth diapers for a few posts.

**edited to add:** I've been dipping into our super old and stale (I think we've had it in our cabinet for a year or more) Danish salty licorice stash lately. Could this very odd, dare I say disgusting, craving be a sign of early pregnancy? I hope so. Because if not, it just means that I'm a freak that likes to eat licorice that smells like cat pee. HHhhhhmmmm....maybe that's because it is seriously flavored by Ammonium Chloride.
