It's A Numbers Game

So…I find that, lately, I am constantly counting down until something happens. Like…counting down until that glorious moment pretty much consumes me. SO…I thought, to put a little twist in my life…live a little crazily…that I would see if I could count UP to that glorious thing. So…with no further ado…here are the things that come to mind when I think of the numbers leading up to my “I’m counting down” number. :)

1…is the number of days until Wyoming plays New Mexico in the Mountain West Tournament. GO POKES!!
2…is the number of days I have to wait for the weekend. I love my job, but I pretty much live for the weekend.
3…is the number of episodes of The Unit that I watched last night. I really love that show! LOVE it…
4…is the number of siblings I have.
5…is the lower end of the percentage range that we are expected to try to cut our budget by here at work. People are freaking out. I don’t know if it makes me optimistic or just stupid that I’m not worried about my job.
6…is the number of changes I have to make to the “I’m totally done, I’m not making any more changes” Fall schedule today. At least 6 is the number that I’m aware of right now.
7…is the number of lip glosses I have in my purse right now. (Okay, technically it’s 6 now, because as I was counting, I said “oooh, bubbleminty!” and took that one out and put it on my desk.)
8…is the number of days until the NCAA Tournament begins. OH, I LOVE MARCH MADNESS!!
9...is the number of calls I have taken at my desk today.
10…is the number of minutes that I overslept today. Somehow I still made it to work before I usually make it to work.
11…is the number, on a scale of one to ten, that represents how annoyed I am with XM Radio today.
12…is the number of people I have worked with, (who worked specifically in my office), since I’ve been at my current job.
13…is how old I was when I broke my back falling over a chair while dancing in the basement when I was supposed to be doing laundry.
14…is the number of nieces and nephews I have.
15…is the number of emails that is currently in my inbox.
16…is the number of high fives I’d like to give Aaron right now, as he just messaged me and offered to teach for me this weekend when we have combined wards. I love teaching, but love a week off just as much!
17…is how old I was when I owned up to how I really broke my back instead of telling everyone that I had no idea how it could have happened.
18…is the number of surveys I have to do in classes this semester. I’ve done 3 so far and I’m sick of them already.
19…is how many post-its and/or notes I have stuck to the perimeter of my monitor.
20…is the number of minutes that I tanned today...and without a single mishap.
21…is the number of times I have looked at the clock since I got back from lunch, thinking it should be 5:00 already!
22…is the number of people who are on my distribution list at work. They get a LOT of emails from me.
23…is Brandon Ewing’s number. Brandon is leaving the Cowboys at the end of this season, and I’m totally depressed. I love that guy!
24…is the best show EVER.
25…is the number of chapters my book will have, if I ever freaking finish it. At least…I THINK that’s how many it will have. That’s the plan right now…according to my super organized outline.
26…is the total number of calls I have on my call log on my new phone.
27…is the age that I think of myself being…all the time. Like, time stopped for me on my golden birthday.
28…degrees is the temperature right now. Too cold, if you ask me. BUT…it’s warmer than it was yesterday.
29…is the number of pencils in my pencil mug.
30…is the number of minutes I have until I go into my annual evaluation with my boss.
31…is the number of classes that I don’t have instructors for on my Fall schedule. Things that aren’t going to happen for another 5 months should not have the power to stress me out this much!
32…is the number of Grape, Cherry, and Fruit Punch pour in things I have in my side drawer. I pretty much drink those things all day long.
33…is the number of “Cars” that I have on my shelf here at work, including 6 different Lightning McQueens. People always comment about how huge my collection is. Little do they know that I probably only have about a third of those that have actually been released.
‘34…was the year that my favorite Disney character…Donald Duck…was created!
35…is the number of cents I have in my desk drawer.

And finally…the number you’ve all been waiting for…(or at least the one I have!!)…

36…is the number of full days I have to wait until I get to leave for Disneyland. I CAN’T WAIT!!
