Indecision and Spoilage

I've just spent the last hour to hour and a half of my life trying to decide on a cloth diaper, where to buy it, whether to try more than one, what bloody colour. I cannot make a swift decision to save my life. God help me if my life actually did depend on it. Anyhow, I'm nearly checking out at diapers.com with some Happy Heinys and a bumGenius 3.0...Yikes, this makes my head hurt.

This is a constant issue in my life. Indecision is part of the reason I have yet to try cloth diapers at all. Or that it took so long to start feeding my kitties raw food. My husband is a jump in and go sort of guy. Just try it. If it doesn't work...oh well. Me? I just relentlessly research something until I've found so many contradicting information that I want to combust.

Also, diapers.com is not letting me use my promo code. Not cool. Anyhow, for all you cloth diapering mamas...I was reading reviews and got a good tip. Instead of buying those washable baby wipes, cut up receiving blankets. What else would you do with them anyway? Well, barring future babies.

So, jumped on that bandwagon and saw Avatar. I'm not entirely sure what constitutes a spoiler. I'm not planning on writing anything that I feel would give away anything central to the story or that you couldn't most likely deem from watching previews. And certainly not much, if any, more than I knew prior to watching the movie myself. But just to be safe...spoilage commencing now.

...

Basically, the storyline is pretty classic. It's like Dances With Wolves meets Fern Gully. Why is it that in these movies, the person doing the betraying never fesses up until it's (almost) too late? I like to think I'd say something sooner. Anyhow, the saddest part about this movie is the measure of truth it holds. And I'm not even just talking tree-hugger talk. People are so savage to other people, different people. But the movie was stunningly beautiful. I thought the soundtrack and occasionally the acting was a bit lacking. Not bad, just not in keeping with the visual aspect of the movie. All in all, I liked it. I could probably watch the first half over and over. It did go all Lord of the Rings about halfway thru and my lack of a Y chromosome started kicking in. "Just stop fighting already!" Make no mistake, I love LOTR. But I'd be lying if I said excessive battleage didn't tire me just a bit. Favourite: the size ratio of the Otimacaya (hoping I got that right...) to their surroundings.

...

I called 1-800-diapers to find out why my promo code for $10 off your first purchase of diapers wasn't working. Turns out cloth diapers don't count, but the guy I spoke with gave me the discount anyway, plus $5. Cool, eh? He also thanked me for the laugh...I ended up spelling my ridiculous email address to him something like 5 times.

Mission accomplished.
