Let me tell you about the best night of the week -
Thursday!!!
First and foremost, it's donut day at my husband's work (p.s. if you need a bulk commodity grain trailer, click here). There are always extra donuts Friday morning when he gets to work - and who wants a day old donut that's been sitting out and is hard? No one does! So these donuts stay in the break room all day Friday and the get put in the trash that night. So there they are - just sitting there in the break room waiting to get eaten. Now, you have to understand that donuts are some of my favorite treats in this world! I would get really sad when I would talk to Ben on Thursdays and he would be eating a donut while we were chatting or he would tell me about the donut that he ate that day. One day he came home from work and he had a surprise for me in his lunch bag - it was my very own donut that he had smuggled out of the break room! Now, for the other great thing about Thursdays - WIPEOUT is on!!!
Jill Wagner, John Henson, and John Anderson are comedians hosting a show were 24 contestants complete a course consisting of 3 levels of obstacles. This will make you laugh! Good times to be had by all!
So there you go - the Thursday Tradition was born - Watch an episode of Wipeout while eating a donut. YUM.
WipeOut while Practicing!
So there is a little game I have in my studio called WIPEOUT where all the student has to do is play the practice spot 3 times correctly and then they are done with that spot.
...Did I mention that those 3x are... in a row?!!
So that means that even if the student plays the first two beautifully, and on the third try misses the last note - they go back to zero. No questions asked. Sorry. I really like this game because it gets concentration focused and in turn, gets the job done.
Although, I've used this game for a long time in my studio, I haven't had a name for it - we just do the "challenge." Thanks to Heather Watson Hardie , I got the cute name from a video she made for the SAA's Parents as Partners 2013.
