Yeah, some times you have to think outside the box. This is TinyThinker in my favorite onesie:

Point conceded. Although I feel the need to point out that I watched NCIS when I was definitely young and lived in a big city on the Eastern seaboard. I did this because a) my eyes had yet to fall out of my head, and b) Mark Harmon was a sexy motherfucker with a heart of gold.

Preach. I post the shit out of TinyThinker's pictures. I'm a Stay-at-home mom with a chronic, disruptive medical condition. My kid is my job, my child, and a big part of my social life. We have family and friends all over the world, and they want to see what we're up to. Some times, I post three pictures in one day,…

I heart NCIS. I am in the Midwest but (debatably) not old. I will watch NCIS until a) my eyeballs fall out of head, or b) Mark Harmon magically stops being a sexy motherfucker With a heart of gold.

What about the Angel ladies? Who's your type, Cordy or Fred?

Preach warning: Gap, Inc. (and Old Navy by extension) has been on my bad side since it refused to sign the accord improving working conditions for workers in Bangladesh. The only two major companies to refuse were Gap and Walmart. I love Gap, Inc.'s baby and kids' clothes, but I am done with them until they start…

It's not as well-known as it should be. It's a great story; I included it in the set of (100 or so) children's books I got for my sister when she was preggers with her first. So great!

Have you read "We were Soldiers Once, and Young"? I was living in DC when I read it and found myself on the Metro with tears streaming down my face. So sad but so, so good.

TinyThinker thinks the best games in the world are 1) throwing her ball into the street and trying to chase after it and 2) laughing hysterically while running as fast as her toddler legs can carry her away from whoever is watching her — at the mall, on a walk in our suburban neighborhood, or in downtown Detroit.…

It looks red-orange in this pic, though. It was a great pinky orange in person. This is my current fave color combo, and I rarely splurge for a mani, so I went all out. And thanks for your support!

Pretty sure it's a thing. I got a 3/2 on each hand a few weeks ago, and the manicurist/salon owner actually recommended I go with something else. Can you say "awkward"? Anyway, she gave me a whole lesson on 4 nails a bright color with one nail, generally the index or ring, a neutral or metallic. Because that's "in"…

I totally recommended your comment because I do the schnitzel/spaezle thing too. All the time. But I don't generally eat schnitzel.

Yes. I agree. You have perfectly put into real-person context celebrity behavior. This is a rare and special gift. I envisioned a similar scene when I read that.

Thank you! I so wanted to say it, but I'm a gray! Is there really any other choice?

Are you me? Did I forget that I wrote this post? And isn't mag the worst? I hope you and baby are happy and healthy now (we are).

Been waiting for news. Booooooooooo! This will be one of those times I Netflix the existing episodes over and over, hoping for a new one to magically appear. It hasn't worked yet, but you never know.

"1) It doesn't bother me when other minorities who vaguely resemble me ask the question, because usually they just want to know if we share an ethnic background."

Seconded. All of that except where my name comes from. A nice perspective well-explained.

I have no experience with OKCupid, but I met Mr. Thinker on eHarmony. It costs money, but it was certainly worth it for me!

Ah, Cedar Point. So many memories. The best: all that sweaty hand-holding on the bus ride home from the eighth-grade trip.
