So. What are some of your numbers?
What is a lunch note? How can you have done all this in 32 years?
Haha! I could go on and on and on. A lunch note is just a little note or drawing that I put in my kids' lunch boxes for school.
Very cute. I occasionally throw a note in but it usually just says "I love you" and a happy face. BO-ring!
I LOVE this idea. Seriously, so great. I just learned so much about you and am thinking about all the numbers in my own life. You are awesome.
Aw, thanks, Angela! I can't remember which magazine it was that used to have something like this. Feel free to steal it…I'd love to read your numbers!
great idea. Did this take you awhile? Because I would sit longer thinking about what I could count than I would actually spend typing! I love it though. I'll be celebrating pretty hard when are last is out of diapers too 🙂
I know, right?! PARTY! I came back to this a couple of times, and honestly, I think I could write a list like this four or five times over. I keep thinking of more and more. But, it was plenty long as it was! That's why I added "approximate"….so I wouldn't have to do too much thinking. 😀
This is an awesome list. Love it!!! I remember the day I didn't have to buy diapers or pull ups anymore… heaven!!!
Thank you, Susi! I can't WAIT for that day…is it bittersweet at all? Nah!
9- the # of years total I have spent breastfeeding. I mean, really. Dang!
WOW! That is incredible. I think my breastfeeding total is about a year and a half…not so incredible.
453 – the number of times my toddler elbows/ knees me, whether by accident or intentionally
453 -the number of bruises I have on my body
🙂
Haha! I'm the same way. I always end up with mysterious bruises.
Awesome list and very inspiring!
Love the picture, and just so you know – I'm counting myself as one of the 78 bloggy friends you've made!
Yes, of course you are! Thanks, Kerstin!
I love this post (definitely lived up to my expectations)! And I think I need to do a post like this too because it's so much fun. I can't even comment on every single one of these numbers like I want to – but I'll say a big congratulations on all the weight you've lost! That's awesome!
Thanks, Katie!! It was fun, and I could probably write five more posts like this. I hope you do write one–I want to read it!
Greta, I love this!! Can I steal/borrow? I will link to you!
😉
xoxoxoxo
YES! I hope you do. I'd love to read your numbers. I've even set up a linky so everyone can come back and share theirs. 🙂
I absolutely love this post!!!! What a great idea!
Thank you!! You should do your own and link up! I think it'll be fun to read everyone's. 😀
this was cute, I dont think I could even do that good on thinking of all those numbers!
Oh, that's why I used "approximate"…so I could do quick numbers in my head and not worry too much. 🙂 Thanks, Courtney!
There can never be another gfunkified!
Right?!
I love this post! So many numbers! What are your degrees in?
This is kinda awesome!
Thanks! (kinda) 😀
I love this! Can't wait to do mine.
Yay! Can't wait to read it! And thanks. 🙂
What a fun post! You've got me thinking…
Oh,I want to read your numbers, Jacquie!

Thanks, Kristen! It was a lot of fun to write.
I think my favorite is the number of days between getting engaged and married the second time. 🙂
Great post, girl!! 😀
Haha! Yeah, we had started planning a wedding in the spring (got engaged in Oct, on my birthday) and decided a couple of weeks later that we'd rather go to Vegas. 🙂
You should do your own, Elaine! I'd love to read them!!

What a great idea. I think I'll do a post like this, too. Love it!
Thanks! Yay–can't wait to read it!
I love this idea and can't wait to do mine. I don't know how I missed this except that I'm having blogging difficulties at the moment and trying to fix them. I love the how many times you yell and how many times you smile. SO TRUE!
Thanks, AnnMarie! I'm so glad you did your own and linked up!

I can't tell you how much fun I've had reading yours and others numbers. Such a fun way to get to know my friends better. Potty training should always be celebrated with drinks…that means you need to practice the celebrating to get it right as you go along in the actual potty training. 😉
I really should be practicing. And by the time I get to potty training him, I'll need some extra. Then of course, the actual celebration drinks!

Thank you, Amy! I'm so glad you joined in! Cheers!!
I need to get to your blog more. I love your numbers! And yay you for the 5K's this year. You and I are neck and neck with our love for coffee for sure.
Oh, coffee. Sweet nectar of the soul. 🙂 I've got a Thanksgiving 5K in the morning, which means I need to go to bed! At least I'll burn some calories before a huge feast of a lunch. Ha! Thanks for joining in with me, Ilene!

Stopping over from your SITS Day. Loved this one…very creative.
What a great list! It was kind of like watching a good movie or reading a good book – some parts made me sad (losing your first husband!?), other parts made me laugh (number of times you yell at vs smile at your kids!) and, in the end, the whole thing was great!! Glad I found you from your SITS day!
Those are some interesting stats. Cool way to post.
Happy SITS Day.
Happy SITS Day! This is such a fun post. I learned all sorts of things about you…some sad, some very happy. Thanks for sharing!
Fun post idea. 🙂
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! Hilarious and oh how I can relate!!
537 The number of times I tell my kids "Are You KIDDING ME?" in one week.
899 The number of times I thank God for said kids in one week.
Fun idea! And an ingenious way to meet and get to know other bloggers! Well done. Stopping by from SITS.
132 days until retirement. 1 day until a 3 day weekend. Love the post. Enjoy your SITS Day.
Creating a numbers list would take me a week to do! 🙂 At age 5-0, there's quite a few numbers in my life…probably too many to count. Your post made think, however, of all the numbers that I've created throughout the years.
Good for you for being so honest. Love your blog!
Wonderful post idea! I'm still laughing for number 12 🙂
Happy SITS Day, Greta!
I made a post a while ago about 6th's of my life. This post reminded my post to me. Here is the link of it if you get a chance to read it! http://yoncaskitchen.blogspot.com/2009/12/6ths.ht…
I love this and may just have to borrow the idea! Hmmmm…the wheels are already turning…
Happy SITS Day!
Such an awesome way to write a post! And a great way to get to know you, too!
What a super fun post – love this idea!!!
Happy belated SITS day! This was such a fun post to read…It makes me want to write my own life in numbers!
What a great idea! I've never really thought about my life in this way… I'll have to get some numbers gathered and do a post about it! Thanks for the inspiration, and hope you had a wonderful SITS Day! 😀
