That prawn thing is weird and disturbing. And I like it.

@Katie Heaney I SO WISH I WASN'T AT WORK RIGHT NOW!! For various and many reasons, but obviously mostly because I need to check out this Turquoise Jeep phenom. I AM SOOO CURIOUS.

On Into the Gray

I'm kind of enjoying my grey hair. It's not a lot yet, and at 42 years old with a baby face I feel like they add a bit of... what? Gravitas? Serious grownupness? to my overall appearance.

That said, I totally cried the first time I found a grey pube. My husband thought I was being a ninny, but I couldn't help it. Now I just pull those fuckers out.

On Joyful Noises

This was an awesome read and I really enjoyed it. My son has TS, and over the years (he's 14) he has come up with some REALLY interesting noises. Unfortunately he wasn't diagnosed until a few years after his tics became apparent, because he also has ADHD and his doctor kept telling us the vocal tics were a side-effect of his stimulant medications. We basically had to shop around for a doctor who knew what the heck he was looking at and tell him flat out, "We are convinced our child has TS, please help us." So now it's a balancing act with medications for both ADHD and TS, and he's doing really well. Still really vocal in the evenings when the meds wear off, but we're all used to it. I joked the other night that he was kind of like having a really awesome parrot who not only squawks and screeches, but also tells very funny fart jokes.

On A Very Special Junk-Shop Gift Guide

I'm poor and I thrift a lot. Fun stuff like all these examples, but mostly clothes & shoes. I like to think of my closet as the "revolving wardrobe" because I'm bringing home thrift finds and donating things I've gotten tired of (Queen of the short attention span, right here) on a continual basis. When I drop off large garbage bags stuffed with stuff, they never, ever look through them or sort them... at least, not while I'm looking. So I guess my question is do thrift stores and junk shops just take EVERYTHING people bring in and try to sell it?
