Amazon: Graco Nautilus $129

I can't believe the Graco Nautilus is still on sale for $129. I would say between $119-$129 are great prices. It's a great seat and really is the end of the seats you'll need because it goes into a booster and then a backless booster. In NY, the law is 7. In MD, the law was 8. Either way, I have a few years before car seats will no longer be needed. I have one of these in each of our cars. Love the cup holder. Wish there were two. My only complaint is they redesigned it and it's difficult for my 4 3/4 year old to buckle herself in. I of course always tighten her, but I love giving her the independence to try to help out.

$2.79 Banana Slicer on Amazon

Another funny thing I have seen for a few weeks on Amazon is this Banana Slice. Whether or not you really need another kitchen gadget for single purpose is another story, but if nothing more you have to read the reviews. Some of them are so funny.

LIRR Suspended Service on Port Jeff and Ronkonkoma

I was able to get into the city with almost no delay this morning. Luckily this morning we were running on time and I dropped the girls off at school, found a parking spot at Hicksville, and got on the 8:07 train to Penn Station. The people on the trains behind me were not so lucky. A utility pole fell down and has caused disruption on these lines between Mineola and Hicksville in both directions. They have posted several times that they are expecting this to be fixed by a certain time and the time has come and gone. 

Here is the latest from 2:30
Service remains suspended on the Pt Jeff and Ronkonkoma branches between Mineola & Hicksville, due to a broken LIPA pole on power lines in Hicksville. LIPA crews are continuing their work and are expecting it to be completed by approximately 3:15PM. Ronkonkoma Branch trains are continuing to be routed to Babylon, where Pt Jeff and Ronkonkoma customers can transfer for service to Hicksville and points east.
The 2:04PM train from Huntington which will terminate at Hicksville today, is operating 16 minutes late as a result of the suspension between Mineola and Hicksville, because of a LIPA pole across power lines west of Hicksvile.
Westbound Port Jefferson and Ronkonkoma branch customers will be accommodated at Hicksville by an eastbound diesel train to Babylon, where they can transfer for westbound train service.
Buses are accommodating customers between Hicksville and Mineola.


So now I need to decide, do I take an earlier train and meet my husband in Mineola and then retrieve our car from  Hicksville or do I hope that if I wait long enough things will run on time.

Ah the joys of commuting.

Funny book: HTML for Babies on Amazon

This is a pretty funny picture of a baby reading a book about HTML. The time have certainly changed and what kids know about computers and technology will be so different that what I and my friends knew. Before they are even two they already know about swyping with technology, even if they haven't actually touched technology. They know so much.

I wanted to see how much a book like this cost on Amazon and while they don't sell it directly there are some people who will charge you a ton of money.
