Here are some things I know

  • Target brand diapers are fine for daytime but not so hot for overnight.  It’s worth it to spend extra on Pampers because it saves a lot of laundry.
  • gDiapers are better in theory than in practice, though we hope to get back to them at some point.
  • A laughing baby is the cutest thing in the whole world.
  • My wrist is much, much better.  It was interesting to hear how widespread de Quervain’s Syndrome is.
  • I’m back in my pre-pregnancy jeans!  I have a bit of muffin-top now, which is sort of horrifying, but I’ll keep working at it.  Fortunately I almost never wear midriff-revealing tops.
  • I dreamed last night that I was swimming in Great Salt Lake with people from high school, and it was really, really salty, and then afterwards everyone got a free snow-cone except me.  I blame the fact that I ate some salty chips before bed last night.
  • Miles likes to be in weird positions.

    Wow, he is getting so big! He’s not staring at a ceiling fan, is he? Small kids love ceiling fans. Want to rock their tiny world? Take them to a home decor store with a ceiling fan section.

    I realize this is off-topic, but isn’t language weird? I would argue that the lake is called The Great Salt Lake; the definite article is part of the name (like The Gambia or The Hague). Without the article, it rings wrong in my head.

    Looking for evidence I found that the Wikipedia article, as well as the tourism board site, use both constructions.

    That lake needs a style guide!

    That lake can get pretty stinky!
    Agreed about laughing babies.
    What are gDiapers?

    Jack: my only knowledge of said lake comes from a Pixies song (a The Pixies song?).

    The Happening (also appears in The Thing)

    I was driving doing nothing on the shores of Great Salt Lake
    When they put it on the air, I put it in the hammer lane.
    I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the rain.
    I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the brake.

    I think you people with genuine Utah experience win, though. The Pixies are from Boston. What do they know about it?

    Collette: gDiapers. I should have included that link in the post; sorry.
