It turns out that ADD can be a whole personality.
Bought my kid a phone off of Backmarket. It came pre-gunked, so they're giving me a 5% credit on my account which I should "easily" be able to transfer to my bank.
We'll see about that!

One present presentation I'm proud of: 14yo is flying to visit cousins in Ohio on Wed (thanks to $ help from gparents).
Before he opened the itinerary, I gave him a hint, which was an mp3 of this music (which spells "OHIO").
My little nerd had a blast transcribing it 😂

Schools these days don't have kids make ashtrays in ceramics but my nephew was determined to be rebellious. He made a "decorative coaster" and had to look up what a cigarette looks like to make his "dipped pretzel" 🙄😂

Happy December! Here's a waterfall I visited recently. The water in the bowl seemed black (because of a silt-like algae coating everything) and it was VERY cool looking

Dinner tonight is as delicious as it is ugly: bacon, onions, and potatoes fried together (covered) until there are little almost-burned bits

Gift idea: The Banh Mi Handbook by Andrea Nguyen.
Combine with a basket of the basic ingredients or just give the book by itself. I love this book!

I don't know why I make friendship bracelets because I don't have that many friends and I don't wear bracelets 😂
Should probably go back to crochet for a few years.

@askamanager.org Hey Allison! A few times I've gotten a pop-up on your site that feels pretty scammy and I finally screenshotted and saved the address. I can't get back to AAM from it (at least on mobile) so I have to close and renavigate there.

11yo, yesterday: I'm so excited for sugar season!
Me: What's that?
11yo: It's the two weeks after Halloween when we have a TON of candy
(Pictured: candy from 4 kids laid out in rows and piles on the floor)
