six impossible things

'Now I'll give you something to believe. I'm just one hundred and one, five months and a day.'

'I can't believe that!' said Alice.

'Can't you?' the Queen said in a pitying tone. 'Try again: draw a long breath, and shut your eyes.'

'Alice laughed: 'There's no use trying,' she said; 'one can't believe impossible things.'

'I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was younger, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.'

–Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

So maybe these aren't exactly impossible - I'm still practicing:

{one} I watched the pedometer turn 200,000 miles this morning while on the 210 freeway in Pasadena.

{two} The house is unharmed. Very grateful for that.

{three} B's godson stayed behind with his paternal grandparents & is now halfway around the world from his parents and brother.

{four} The cows gave books to needy kids in LA.

{five} I used the Men's Room (the Women's Room was out of order).

{six} There is a reindeer on the roof of the J Crew store. It is sitting on a giant red ornament, waving.
