Another week already? Who is in charge of making these weekends so danged short, anyhow? In the hopes of spreading some happy, happy, joy, joy around on an otherwise bummer Monday, I’m going to list out some things that I am getting an unreasonable amount of enjoyment from right now (and I won’t promise that one of those things won’t be my new diapers). I’m hoping that maybe I’ll mention something that you will want to discover and then YOU will find joy and then my life will be complete. That’s not too much to ask of a Monday afternoon, is it?

• Owen Wilson. I’ve always enjoyed him, and since I haven’t seen “Drillbit Taylor”, I feel I can say that I haven’t see him in anything where I haven’t enjoyed his character immensely. Often, it’s his character that causes me to enjoy an otherwise blah movie. We subscribed to HBO and Cinemax a couple months ago so I’ve been fortunate enough to see Owen Wilson pretty much whenever I want in either “Night at the Museum” or in “You, Me and Dupree”. In the former, he has a teeny weeny part, playing a teeny weeny western fella, Jedediah. And he’s funny as hell.
  

  Jedadiah: I’m gonna shoot you in your dang eye. In your dadgum eye.
  [gun clicks empty]
  Larry: Yeah. Keep shootin’. Nothing’s gonna happen.
  Jedadiah: Now you know my shame. Jedadiah’s impotent rage. His guns don’t fire. Take me away.

  See what I mean? Hmm. Maybe you had to be there. But STILL. “You, Me and Dupree” was, for me at least, surprisingly hilarious. I completely adored his character in this movie. I can watch this movie whenever it pops up and have even DVR’d it so that I can watch it even after it falls of of OnDemand. It brings me irrational amounts of joy. And I know it’s all because of Owen Wilson.

• Yes, the cloth diapers. Shut up, I can’t help it. I’m working on a plan that would hopefully give me a good outlet for discussing this to my heart’s content without boring the rest of you to tears. I read your lack of enthusiasm loud and clear (plus, the poll count so far registers overwhelmingly in the “You are insane” category). But I get such a little high out of putting her in these diapers. And I can spend hours looking at the various websites out there. And even washing the darn things has made me feel joy. I hope the feeling continues, because I actually ordered some prefolds and covers last night. I’m committed now!
• This face right here. I could stare at her all day long. I find myself so excited for the coming months and watching her grow and discover and develop her own look.
• All of you guys. Yes, you. Even you over there in the corner. I see you. I love everyone who comes to this blog and reads what I write (even stupid, silly, pointless posts like this one).  You guys make this whole blogging gig (which is already pretty fabulous in and of itself) so rewarding.  I’m consistently amazed that anyone even reads this blog and waking up to find out that, yes, people DO read it, well… that just makes me so happy.  I love all you guys.  I hope, in the months ahead, to be able to show you guys just HOW MUCH.  Stay tuned.  And hold me to it!

Okay, that’s enough mushy stuff for now.  I’m sure there’s a load of laundry around here somewhere that’s calling my name.
