People may not go in the restrooms...

Borders is going out of business. That's not news, it's old news. Cheryl and I were in Columbia visiting an awesome baby consignment shop (that carries cloth diapers my new--and expensive--obsession) because they were having a moving sale. We had to wait for Comcast to send a guy out to our house because our internet has been intermittent over the last several days. It started last week just once, but then the last couple of days it's been up and down like a roller coaster. So today the guy stopped by, said it's an outside thing, and someone would be by to fix it and no, we didn't have to be home when they came. That's code for, "we have no idea when they'll be out" and I knew it, but I also knew that I couldn't fix it myself so we have to wait.

Cheryl and I drove out to Columbia to visit the consignment shop. It was easy to see why they are moving, they were about busting at the seams in this location! There wasn't much to pick from in the boy section for clothes and I didn't see any toys that jumped out at me, so that just left the cloth diapers. There's a brand of hybrids (can be used as cloth or disposable depending on the inserts that I'm interested in trying and this store is a place that sells them in store, and I haven't found any other place to buy them besides online. I picked out a dark blue diaper to try with Joey. I like this brand more than Gdiapers (we have 3 that we've been using off and on) already for several reasons 1) they're one size, which means when Joey gets bigger we use different snaps, not spend more money 2) they're about $1 cheaper, not much but I'll take it and 3) they come with an insert, Gdiapers' all come separate.

After what turned out to be a short trip to the shop, we stopped at Borders to check out the liquidation sale. Neither of us found anything we liked enough to stand in the crazy long lines (store closing + weekend = unfavorable worker-to-customer ratio) so that trip was a bust, except for the sign. I needed to change Joey so we headed for the bathrooms and found them closed, so I changed him on the floor because at 100+ degrees (it's not cooling down until Tuesday apparently, yuck), I'm not changing him in the car. We then headed home, because when you're hanging with friends trying to beat the heat, it doesn't matter where you are, as long as you're air conditioned ;)
