Nice little notes about life

1. I hit back breakfall #1000 today! Doing a thousand of something really makes you appreciate the value of hard work, even on something pretty basic. It also makes you appreciate how large 1000 really is.

2. The other day, as I was driving to the rec center, a perfectly straight line of maybe 8 geese marched across the road. I stopped the car to watch them (I didn't really have a choice); there was something inexplicably nice about it.

3. In babysitting, I'm using some of the same things my old babysitter used to do with me - for example (and I owe her big time for this one):
"Round ball, round ball" (rolling a finger around their palm)
"Pull (someone)'s hair" (pull their hair)
"One slice, two slice" (slice up their arm. With your hand, not a knife.)
"TICKLE UNDER THERE!" (tickle under their arm. obviously.)

I really liked my babysitter as a kid, and it makes me happy that she's been helping me out!
