eBay Foolishness

So I heard a little internet gossip that eBay is prohibiting the sale of used cloth diapers because it is not hygienic. I haven't found any official confirmation from eBay that explains this, but apparently they are counting it under their current rule of not allowing sales of previously worn underwear?
I believe that, unfortunately, it is probably true. I had bid on 3 different auctions of FB last week and they all got pulled and did not sell. I received emails saying that the item I bid on violated the eBay terms of service, but did not explain how.
Pretty damn ridiculous, almost all the diapers we have came from eBay over the last year. How are we going to be able to work around this? And I need to check out what this "no used underwear" rule is, because I just won and purchased used nursing bras a few weeks ago. Isn't that underwear, technically?
Bah.

Daycare Bullshit

Just came across this latest little tidbit of news, check it out by reading this site:
The Lactivist Blog

I just practically don't even have words for how ridiculous that is. Charging extra fees to care for a breastfed infant? It is the height of lame excuses, that's for sure. Crazy bitch daycare lady.
And yeah, I know calling names and being nasty are not the marks of good lactivism, but I don't think anybody from Ohio is going to read my blog and I'm not feeling very wordy or intellectual right now to actually type out all the reasons why it is wrong and stupid, etc. etc.
Anyway, most of you are smart enough to already know the boob gospel as truth and are used to hearing this kind of fucked up story.

On a side note, I'm thinking that I might start utilizing one of the exclusive blogging sites, maybe blogger like what The Lactivist uses....
I feel like I am limiting my exposure by being only on Myspace, because a lot of people are anti-Myspace on principle and so they won't join and can't read me here. And since one of my blogging goals is to contain my picture whoring away from KCAP, I'd at least like to do it somewhere that KCAPer's will still look at my pictures.

Speaking of picture-whoring, let me see what I've got for you today. Not much new I think, but I'm sure I've got something.

Well, here's a few of the new baby's diapers. I LOVE these colors!


Here's R taking a picture of me taking a picture of her with her Barbie camera she got for V-Day.


A few from the car show last weekend. I really need to make time to sit down and edit all the pics from that. I totally did take over a hundred.
Here's a cool car:


Here's a couple of goofy guys, I think these poses are getting old but I love these two losers so I keep putting up with it.


And I took this for R, she didn't want to go with us, she went shopping with Grandma instead but I wish she could have been there to see this guy-


And finally, here is a true pimp ride, you all know you'll see me rolling like this someday-



Last little side note, I put my lip ring back in last night. I have no idea why I thought to try it. I had it out since before Christmas. It feels weird but I'm thinking I might leave it again now for awhile.

Update on Today

So, here's what we've been up to lately. My sister had a baby shower for me on Saturday, I had a pretty good time. It got kind of out of control and we didn't get to play all the games we wanted to but I was still just happy to see everyone who came to see me. I got some wonderful gifts that make me feel so spoiled! Thank you to everyone!!! I get so excited to be washing up all the little tiny diapers and blankets and getting them ready.

Friday was my sister's birthday and we went out to dinner for it tonight at Ruby Tuesday. It was a really bad experience, we had awful service and Brian found hair in his food and I just thought the whole place was gross. Ugh.

My #1 homie, Blake, was in town this weekend and I'm glad I got to see him before the baby comes. He probably won't be back again for a few more months.

We went to the World of Wheels car show today and took Blake, Jez, and little cousin Wes with. I'll post some pictures from it later maybe. I had to take about 100. I figure if I took that many car pictures for Brian, I can bribe him with them to make him promise to take at least that many pictures of the birth.

R decided tonight that 'Uncle' Blakey is her favorite person and she is in love with him and was so sad to see him go. He's going back to OK in the morning, but I got some pictures to hold her over until next time he comes to town. They were a pair of goofballs.








Also, I heard that the new Bass Pro Shop is going to be opening this week (or maybe already has) and I am excited for that. It is so close to our house and I'm looking forward to going over there to walk around and look at badass boats and camping gear and all kinds of junk that I don't really need.

Be prepared to probably see pictures of all my obsessive baby preparation here in the next week or so. I am SOOOO enraptured with the widdle teeny diapers that I feel like I have to show them off I know, I'm a dorkus too. But I am just so thrilled to be getting closer to baby time and I don't have a cute little baby to brag over yet so I will just brag about all the stuff the baby will have.
