Twilight

I was dreadfully sick on Sunday, running back and forth to the toilet all day. The worst part was it was wifey's 33rd bday. She had plans to relax. Instead, she was forced to watch the kids all day and take Hunter to two bday parties while I was worthless in bed. Late in the afternoon, I started to feel better and scrolled through the guide and found Twilight 1 and 2 was on FX. I recorded both and have now watched them.

First the girl falls in love with a vampire, then a werewolf. This is a giant hit movie saga. WHY?

Ohio

Here we are, the biggest week of the season: Ohio Week. Unbelievably, Ohio is undefeated. However, they are banned from the B1G championship game and not bowl eligible due to tattoo gate. Therefore, they are not getting the attention to that 11-0 should demand. However, they haven't played anybody. Yes, they beat Nebraska (who beat us), but that's about it. They don't seem that good. Then again, neither do we.

That said, as always, I want nothing more than to stick it to the bucs. I don't think I can handle them running the table and complaining about their undefeated season ruined by sanctions and how they deserved to play for the national title game. Then again, how sweet would it be they go undefeated but get left out?

Screw it, I want to beat them badly. They are favored by 3.5 in the shoe. With the token 3 points going to the home team, that means Vegas things they are  a half point better. Seems about right to me considering the recent history in the series and their record. 

Go DG, Go Dilithium, GO BLUE

Car Seats

One of the worst things in the world is installing/transferring car seats from vehicle to vehicle. In the early days of parenthood, it was a nightmare, because I was not an expert. Now that I am an expert, I can do it quickly. But now with two kids, I find we are transferring the seats much more frequently. From my car, to wifey's car, to the nanny's car, to nana's car, it sucks.

And in extreme weather conditions it is the worst. Like on hot summer days 90 degree +, I am outside with my suit on trying to take out/put in and it makes me sweat. Or in the freezing cold, just as bad.

Or, it is late and night and wifey reminds me I need to change out the seats from car to car for the mornings activities and all I want to do is go to bed, but I need to go out to the garage and deal with car seats? ugh.

I remember clearly one day I needed to buy a portable dishwasher for a rental (don't ask) and I drove the car to pick up the dishwasher from a guy across town I found on craigs, and I needed to take out the car seat and move it to fit in the dishwasher in the back of the car. The carseat was so tightly installed that I couldn't get it out. I drove across town, bought the appliance, had a big enough car, but couldn't load it b/c of the stupid carseat. Fortunately, the guy had young kids and had achieved expert level and was able to help me out. He taught me his secret, and I guess you could say I was an expert after that.
