Salad greens from our garden!

And carrots!! Carrots!!
This suckers have been in the ground for like 4+ months. They came up wide, but not very long, like 3 inches. (That's what she said!) Our salad last night was completly homegrown. I have to say, fresh carrots are REALLY good. Homegrown salad greens are pretty gritty though.

I rented a carpet steam cleaner from Publix and just steam cleaned the carpet in our living room and Piper's room along with our couch. I am now complete.

I had no idea just how ... AWESOME it feels to get to see the black, disgusting, grotesque water come up through the machine after it steams your carpet. Oh man. I loved it. Instant gratification. Our whole house smells better and the carpets look so good and fluffy. I can't believe we've been lying around on such filth this whole time.

And it make it even better - the whole rental was $35 including the soap and I split it with a friend.

wow

How am I just now finding this website?

365 Days of Crockpotting

goodbye

Goodbye cloth diapers.
You were really easy, fun and earthy for the first 6+ months, but now...not so much.
I can't do it all and cloth diapering was just becoming lower and lower on our list of Important Things. Actually, it plummeted as soon as we saw how cheap diapers are at Costco and realized how difficult it is to attach a cloth diaper on a baby that is in constant motion.
I feel like a schmuck that I'm not cloth diapering anymore, but I don't have the $$ to make an investment on some good quality cloth diapers so the old, crappy ones we had were constantly leaking and falling off of her. If money wasn't an option, I would have bought a dozen Bumgenius All-in-Ones and that would have lasted us until Piper is potty trained.
I guess I sorta feel like I'm admitting defeat? Yes I want to save the environment and all of that. But I can't do it all and it was just becoming too much work.

Ahhhh. It feels good to get that off my chest.

SNL video

Ewwww, and hahahhaahaha.

confession

I don't remember when I last took a shower.

But I did go in the hot tub the last few days. That counts doesn't it?

Tori

This song was on a mix CD Lisa made for me and I've listened to it plenty of times, but I've rediscovered this song and have been playing it on repeat, at full blast, for a week now.
Typical Tori Amos, the lyrics are way over my head and the video is totally bizarre.

blank

I can't think of anything fun/interesting/new/witty to write about.

Suggestions?

Piper's new thing is to pull up on everything. She's getting really good at it too.
