1) I always knew tanning sucks. Told ya so.
2) Unless I find a good alternative to watchtvsitcoms.com, you’ll be seeing a lot more of me. This is a SERIOUS crisis.
3) This is the cutest hoodie ever. I own it.

4) I want these. Sadly, Lululemon no longer carries them:

5) Charlotte has cut 2 teeth. They don’t show yet, but I can feel them.
6) We are going here next week.
7) We watched Bruno on the internet last weekend. It was funny-ish, but not nearly as funny as Borat.
8 ) I am running again. Slowly.
9) Pictures from Ontario Place:





10) Random pictures to amuse and delight:

*this is actually a post I did for a car-seat related bulletin board, so some things are sorta assumed. I am cross posting here since I know some of my readers are into car-seats, and some of them are getting into car-seats, and some of them should be into car-seats, and some of them just like to look at my car-seats. Please feel free to ask any questions
I was inspired by the clinic I did Saturday and a lot of car-seat discussion recently to finally install the TrueFit. Whew, lots of work. This involved moving ODD’s Radian from middle to outboard, moving the bucket to DH’s car (which needed a seat-belt with locking-clip install) and then getting to the TrueFit.
It was not an easy install. Getting to the belt-path under the seat cover, finding the UAS straps at the back of the seat and getting them to the right place, installing the seat, and then getting the seat covered again is tough.
I did end up with a rock solid install though, but I needed 3 pool noiodles to get a 45 degree angle. DD is 6 months and has good head control, so I probably could have had it a bit more upright, but I feel better with 45 degrees until she is a bit closer to a year.
I can get to the harness adjuster easily (I know this is a problem for some) but am not sure I’ll be able to when it has less of a recline.
It is a great fit in my Saturn Ion without the headrest, but will have to be a lot more upright when I need to put it on.
