1 - Number of dead teeth Lucy has after a fall a couple of weeks ago. Her front baby tooth is turning grey and might have to be removed eventually :( We're keeping an eye on it.
1 - Number of books left for me to finish in the Semi-charmed summer book challenge before the end of August. The end is near!! I just finished The Grand Sophy this morning. LOVED it.
2 - Number of months until I fly "home" to Calgary to watch one of my favourite cousins get married. I can't wait to catch up with some old friends and see my brother & meet his new girlfriend. Brian can't wait to spend the weekend with the girls at home alone (haha).

4 - Number of White Collar episodes left for us to watch. We'll get to it sometime before September, I'm sure.
7 - Number of days in Bad Yogi's challenge that I started last night. It's only 15 minutes a day and I have desperately missed yoga this summer!
8 - Number of boxes of old clothes and toys getting donated to Goodwill this weekend from our house.
10 - Number of kilometers in my next race on Sept. 26. I am also thinking of adding in a 5K earlier in September and a second 10K in October.
11 - Number of months left at my current job covering someone's maternity leave. I am hopeful that I'll have found something else by the time I finish here if not shortly afterwards.
12 - Number of books on my Netgalley shelf. Gotta get on that after I finish these book challenges.
22 - Number of days until Molly starts kindergarten. I can't think about it without tearing up. I swear I never used to cry until I had kids & mommy hormones.
31 - Number of years old I turned this past Sunday. It was a pretty low-key birthday but I like taking some time to embrace the year ahead.

47 - Number of times I've listened to "Making Due" by the Arkells since first hearing it off their new album. SUCH a catchy song for me. Reminds me a lot of Bruce Springsteen for some reason.
68 - number of books I've read so far this year - well on my way to achieving my Goodreads goal without even realizing it.
Hope everyone is having a great week. We are finally getting some much-needed rain in Halifax and I am finally getting some more energy to clean and organize in the evenings, so I'm a happy camper!!












Love this! Very awesome on getting rid of the 8 boxes and all of your exercise goals. As you know, I'd love to go to Calgary! I hope you post photos. :) I definitely need to keep reading things from my Netgalley shelf too! I hope Lucy's tooth turns out ok, and that you are able to find another position! I can't believe how quickly this year is flying! XO - Alexandra

Wow, 8 boxes to goodwill! I'm jealous becasue I love to organize and purge but sometimes struggle to actually purge.....
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite birthday graphics. Hope you had a great one!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the midst of a large purge right now!
I can't believe that you've already read that many books already this year, and you're doing so good with your Netgalley shelf too! I still think it's crazy how fast everybody's kids grow up, and I don't even have kids of my own yet! I can't believe that my niece is going to be in junior high this year!
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy that her tooth could die just from falling down! If it dies, would it not fall out on its own when her other baby teeth come out? Ryan has a tooth that was damaged when he had jaw surgery and it started to go grey, but it recovered enough to stay in. 11 months of maternity leave? How much maternity leave do people get in Canada???
ReplyDeleteLove this idea for a post! Happy belated birthday! That's awesome you've read so many books already this year!! Have a great time in Calgary! :)
ReplyDeletehappy belated birthday!
