General update

[theatokos]

*We got a new bed. WE GOT A NEW BED!! I am so excited about this, can you tell? It's a queen sized faux temperpedic with a real wooden bed frame. I pray that this improves my sleeping.

*Adam is awesome.

*I think I look a little bit like an alien when I see myself in mirrors.

*This next week is freakishly busy. Loads of work stuff. Mostly prepping for another conference next Sunday in Palo Alto. But it's also time to deal with a coworker that's sucking the joy out of working at my nonprofit. It's time for her 6 month review and I have proposed we fire her. I will spend tomorrow trying to cover our asses if that's the case, since this person is also a lawyer. And I am not.

*This is also the week that I am (finally) going into my friend's theology classroom in an all boys Catholic high school and talking about social justice issues around abortion. I'll let you all know how it goes!

*hraffntina is coming to the area oh-so-briefly, but I am so happy at the prospect of seeing her for however short a time.

*I've been struggling with a lot of anxiety and worry this week, and feelings of failure.

*Tonight, Adam and I are going to discuss throwing ourselves a baby shower.

*I ordered the first few things for cloth diapering yesterday. How is it possible to be so excited about purchasing diapers?

Oooh, what did you order?

Well, there's not much there to order! But I just wanted to get a start. I bought some of the infant prefolds, in the bright springy colors, and a couple of imse vimse coves (mostly to really see how these things work!).

I am going to ask for gift certificates to goodmamas for our shower. That way when they get stocked I can go crazy! I'm really excited about goodmamas stuff - it's cute, it's one size, all the reviews rave about them.... Have you gotten items from them? What do you think?

I got my first in the mail last week, bought from a mama who had to sell it due to a fussy husband. It's great! So soft and cuddly, but then again, I have nothing to compare it to, seeing how it's my very first cloth diaper.

Great idea for the shower though, that way you can get what you really want. Actually, I'm in the same boat, my dad just bought me enough gift certificates for a wish box when they're back in stock! Now we both just have to be patient until she's up and running again.
