Notes to self:

• Do not hold a 32oz. tub of yogurt by the lid. It will slip from your grasp, hit the floor, explode, and cause marble-size globs to rain down on you. Learn from this experience.

• Be the first one out the door for family walks in order to prevent a mishap like Steve walking out the door, missing the first step of the stoop, falling... into me, pushing me off the stoop nearly into the bush, straight into the dirt... right in front of our neighbors. That happened.

• Do not wear a skirt on the windiest day of the year. Glad I was wearing tights. Enough said.

• Consider wearing not only an ankle brace and knee brace while playing contact sports like basketball but also a face mask. Exhibit A:

• In light of the photo above, wear a face mask, maybe a helmet too, for the next youth event at Jumpology Trampoline Arena. Definitely. And don't tell Mom.
