This week I attempted to hone my ninja-like reflexes through a series of activities around the home. My first test came during a moment where a plate in my hands tried to jump forward and land on the floor. I am proud to say that although I fell down, I did not break the plate. Ninja level, beginner. My second test came when Lola decided to jump off the bed, causing me to catch her in the air to prevent a delicate leg injury. I caught her, but fell back into the window and gave myself a bruise. Ninja level, intermediate. My third and final test involved a step stool. My nemesis. I had to return a meat platter to its lofty spot on our top kitchen shelf above the refrigerator. I did it. Ninja level, expert.
Here are some other things I thought about this week and shared on my social media channels. I’m still bitter about the third one, but I guess I have to get over it already.

There are many reasons that it’s good that I don’t have children!! But maybe not for this reason…ha ha!!

I absolutely love my grocery store. I just order whatever I want online and then I pull up to a special spot, and they load it into my trunk during the time slot that I picked out.

Donuts have a hole in the middle so that we can eat donut holes! They are the perfect, sugary, fatty treat. Bite-sized and so easy to pop into your mouth one after another!

But if I buy the donut I feel a bit cheated because someone else gets the hole 😬

Brilliant! I’ll do that and then stuff the hole back in and all will feel right in the world!

Those ninja reflexes are top notch. I agree donuts should be whole – what’s the logical behind leaving a hole in the middle. Mind you I like the name Kramer – one of the funniest Seinfeld characters #globalblogging
