Have you hugged your landfill today?

Yesterday my friend Chris (not my husband Chris, but my friend with a keen interest in placenta art!) brought this article from Wired to my attention: The Poop on Eco-Friendly Diapers. It's full of little factoids on the so-called eco-friendly disposables, regular disposables, and cloth. Manages to slam Proctor & Gamble a few times, too. Funny how P&G claims to have studied the amount of water used in laundering cloth diapers in a diaper-service setting, but didn't mention how much of the precious resource is used in the production of it's own goods and services ...

Also, my co-workers have lately taken to either telling me a) that I've become really big or b) that I'm looking really good and no one would suspect I'm pregnant if midsection was invisible. Anyway, happy for once that weight gain has occured in the proper spot, instead of all going my to hips.

Don't you just love the way people feel the need to comment on the size of your belly?

Hey now, I don't have a keen interest in placenta art! It more than sort of freaks me out, actually. I mentioned it to my sister -- we were ruminating on what had caused a carpet stain located dead center of my new living room -- and she turned green. That's why I learn about these things.

That's good to know, Chris - I was getting worried ...
