"Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze."

Ha ha my mom and I cracked up at this. Found it while attempting to find good examples of analogies, similes, metaphors & idioms so the kids can better differentiate them . The funnier it is, the better the impression. I hope it helps.
#2. In other news, the Bites are getting to me again. My right leg has a cluster of bites that makes my leg look like the cellulite went into overdrive. Right now, it's a 3D art piece - appears suspiciously like a collection of fingernail marks positioned to look like stars.
#3. Have started reading a new book (I decided Midnight's Children & the other Van Gogh book can wait) - Lost in the Mirror: An Inside Look at BPD by Richard Moskovitz. So far, I've been hooked. On the bus, while waiting for another bus, on the train, while blindly walking following the crowds, while stepping on shoes (& mumbling apologies), even got offered a seat so I could continue reading. It's... nice... to be oblivious to the world around you sometimes (:
#4. My mom has declared that from now on, window shopping shall be her new fitness plan. Marathon window-shopped with my mom from 1600h to about 2100h. Five hours, for non-shoppers like us, is a whole new record. My feet hurt.
#5. God works in amazing ways. Every single time we're looking for certain articles of clothing, they'll arrive at our doorstep. Literally. & not just one at a time; they come in bags. Just received a bag of clothes from my relatives today. Beautiful tops & dresses. If there's anything my family doesn't need to spend on, it's clothes. I'm absolutely floored by how our wants (yea, wants. Not needs.) are constantly met through the most inexplicable of circumstances. Praise God! :D
#6. Need to impose more structure in my life. Or rather, more diediemustexercisetoday moments so the procratinator in me will shrivel up & die.
#7. Am tired. Can't sleep. Major rings around the eyes. Insomnia? Not in the most extreme terms, but yes. I'm awake at 0200h, drift into light slumber, wake up when my sister blows her nose then it's trouble entering lala-land again.
