4: Miles I jogged today
15: Miles I’ve jogged this month
0: Miles I jogged pre-July this year (I know, right?)
40: Single-spaced pages I’ve rewritten through on the WIP
1: Basketball-game scene that needs finishing
3.5: Hours spent at the lake yesterday
60: Siblings, in-law siblings, parents and kids gathering this weekend for Family Reunion
Sixty.
1: Fairly cute Husband who just came and wrote sweet things on my blog (which yes, I saved, and no, you don’t get to see)
2: Piano lessons this morning
1: Kid getting “an appliance” at the orthodontist today – we’re all a little nervous about what that might actually mean. Is he going to put an ice-maker in her mouth? A microwave? Maybe a Cuisinart food processor? I could get behind that. I don’t have one of those.
2: Gallons of bleach it would take to clear the water in our backyard pool. Mmm, green water.
16: Times I nudged Husband at the lake yesterday and said, “Listen to this,” while reading “On Writing” by Stephen King
3: The number of Toy Story movies that I love
2: The number of Toy Story movies that brought actual tears to my eyes (2 and 3, for the record)
41: Degrees outside at my house yesterday morning when I went out for my little jog – not so much warm enough for the shorts-and-T-shirt casual jogger (but I survived)
0: phone numbers I know (since the demise of the cell phone, I have completely lost contact with my little corner of the world – and I used to think I had a good memory)
3: loads of laundry in my immediate future
15: minutes it will take me to start a batch of bread (including wheat-grinding time) – yes, I’m THAT girl

You run, you publish novels, and you bake bread from scratch. How are you friends with the rest of us mere mortals?
And I had an orthodontic appliance as a young teen. It was every bit as gruesome as you’re imagining. It involved a bar all the way across my upper jaw that I expanded every day. I ended up with an inch-wide gap between my front teeth when it was done. Great for the self esteem of a teenager, I tell you.

Those are some great stats. Keep up the good work.
