I love Twitter. I’ve mentioned that before, right? It was through Twitter, a couple of weeks ago, that I found a marvelous post called My Life in Numbers on GFunkified, a new blog to me. I have written my alphabet of right now a couple of times, and I have put a weekend with special friends in terms of data, but I have not recently thought about this life of mine in terms of numbers.
38- the number of years I’ve been on this earth
1992- the year I graduated from high school
3- the number of countries I lived in before I was 12
1- the number of times I’ve been married
2-the number of times I’ve been in labor
40- the hours that my first labor took
3.5- the hours that my second labor took
0- the number of times I’ve been medicated during birth
1- the number of deaths in my immediate family in the past two years
0- the number of pets that we own
over 20- the number of magazine subscriptions I have
3- the number of godchildren that I am blessed to have
3- the number of blog URLs I’ve owned
3- the number of times I cry on any given day
2- the number of pictures of the sky I take on any given day
4- the number of family members in our house
2- the number of sets of identical twins in my immediate family
10- the number of lunches I pack per week
5- the number of blog posts I write per week
10+- the number of pages of additional writing I do per week
2- the number of half marathons I’ve run
1:52- the time of my most recent half marathon
2- the average number of cups of coffee I drink each morning (half a cup each, with rice milk and agave)
1- the number of 20 oz Diet Cokes I drink a day
2- the number of glasses of homemade green juice I drink a day
2- the average number of trips to the library I take per week
8- the average number of books I read per month
10:00 pm- the time I like to turn out the light
8:30pm- the time I like to get into bed
30-45- the number of minutes I have between my 10 year old going to bed and my getting into bed. Problematic.
Please share your life in numbers!
What a great idea, Lindsey! I love hearing about your life in numbers. It’s funny how the priorities evident in your numbers are very similar to mine. I’ll have to do mine soon!
What a great idea. I must write mine!
Absolutely love this, girl! What a FABULOUS way to learn a slice of your story!
this brings me so much joy, as I am always noticing and trying to make meaning of the numbers that surround me.
WOW! I can’t believe you read 8 books a month. I must make more time to read! BTW, I just started Happier at Home and am going to hear Gretchen speak tonight in NYC. Very excited!
I have loved reading these and finding out more about everyone!
hi.
love thinking about numbers.
2: number of times Abby’s had strep in the last 6 weeks
1: number of Hurricane’s I’ve survived
1: number of times a week I’m running these days (but today, i did so in the falling snow. quite decadent.)
1 1/2: cups of coffee a morning (with far less-healthy cream)
2: number of children
1: number of husbands 🙂
5: number of boots I own and wear frequently
3: number of jackets I own and wear frequently (always paired with a vest of some sort)
27 1/2: number of times i’ve thought of starting dinner since 4:30. alas, it is time to do so.
miss you.

Wow, 40 hours with no medication?! Incredible. Also incredible, how much you write per week, and read. I wish I had more time for both of those things! I aspire to be like you in terms of running….I’m just starting out and I hope I can increase my speed and distance somehow. It was nice to “meet” you, and I hope you’ll drop back by my post and link up with the rest!
So fun!! I am dying to know what mags you subscribe to. Seriously, 20? LOVE it!! Love all of it:)
I had lots of fun doing My LIfe in Numbers on my blog. The kids helped me. http://wp.me/p2Ms6m-3T
This is great, Lindsey! I just love your blog. I also want to do the alphabet of now … great idea!! We are the exact same age, graduated high school the exact same year. ; )
