1. Afternoon walks. Throwing rocks into the pond.

2. My little shopper. The older she gets, the more fun it is. (I may revise this sentiment in about 10 years.)

3. The rice-in-a-bowl method for saving a wet iPod that may or may not have been washed with a certain Hunky Husband's workout clothes. (So far, its working!)
