1. How do hugely pregnant people drive? Do they have to push the seat way back? Or do you not really sit that close to the steering wheel anyway?
I sit way close to the wheel, being short, so driving while enormously pregnant was awkward for me, especially because I was all belly and right up front. I definitely had to push the seat back a bit.
I never dealt with the second issue, but I have wondered about it. If a baby is young enough to be one of those strollers where the baby seat lifts out, it acts as the carseat, too, but you have to have the base to put on the actual seat of the car, so I don't know.
I've never encountered a cab in NY that offered a baby seat, but then I've never had occasion to ask.
Jesse, I can answer the first.
Practice, practice! Ha ha ha.
I sat a little further back than normal, but not much.
To the second, if we ever took a cab, then we took a carseat and hooked her up in the cab, but it's only ever happened a few times.
Freaking NWA (not that one, the airline) is RIDIC. I mean, their flight alerts service is stupid. Their whole website is hard to navigate and forces you to know airport codes, they assume I want to sign up for alerts of when a plane departs (which, I mean I could sort of see why someone would maybe want to know that, but why make that my default? Instead of
when the plane lands
? And why make me go through three error screens to change it?) And this is freaking last straw, the email I just got:
8:26 pm (2 minutes ago)
NW 536 February 15 DELAYED - now estimated to depart DTW at 6:44 pm and arrive LGA at 8:25 pm Gate 7
You still don't know when it departed AND you are telling me it is delayed two hours after it left?! What the fuck, NWA!
but, if it didn't get better, parents wouldn't have more than one kid, right?
Er, mine didn't...
Oh, I just meant, in general, in the history of the world, second babies happening and wished for and stuff. It wasn't meant as any insult to only childs.
Ugh, bon.
Thanks, you guys! These are the things I wonder about as I go through my day.
FYI, y'all, apparently ABC isn't rerunning tonight's Grey's tomorrow like they've been doing.
Ah, damn. I guess I'll watch it online then.
My friend Kelly wanted to go out to dinner to celebrate the fact that she had de-iced her car. So we did. And we had beer. And when I got more beer, Kelly ordered one before realizing she shouldn't drink it because she had to drive us both home. So she made me drink it. On top of my own beer. That I drank.
Whirr.
I wanna call everyone I know. And burble at them.
You know what the cool kids are doing these days? Drunken text messages.
