There have been a lot of numbers that have crossed my path recently. A lot of numbers to remember. A lot of numbers with funny, interesting, or significant stories behind them. Just a lot of numbers, I guess.
It probably doesn’t help that we’ve been watching LOST again recently (trying to get refreshed before the new season starts).
Anyway, I thought I’d share some numbers with you…
29 – Spencer’s Birthday
We’ve officially scheduled the c-section for December 29th at 10am. Gulp! So unless this little man decides to come earlier, that will be his birthday. Its kind of weird to have advanced notice. But kinda nice too. I’ve updated the ticker to the left. Only 21 days left. 3 weeks.

68 – My age
Last week Bridget came over to me and said, “Guess what! I’m 4, and you’re 68!” Um… wow, 68. How old does she think I look? lol. I told her that I was 27, and that she was only 3. Then she told me that she had another birthday in her room with her Polly Pockets, so now she’s four. Silly kid.
.
1.55 – Price per gallon we paid for gas
Its so nice not to be paying $4+ per gallon anymore. A couple of months ago, it cost me $69 to fill my tank… disgusting! Saturday, it only cost $24. I think that prices are almost as low now as when I was in High School – nearly 10 years ago. Or, maybe its just a 5-year low.

1,450 – The number of lights used to make our 20′ tree
We added to our Christmas light display this year, erecting a 20′ tree. The tree alone consists of 1450 lights. And we’d like to add at least another 1400 to the tree next year – its a little bare. (Click here for last years show)
.
99.1 – THE radio station
Dave hooked up our lights to an FM transmitter this year. 99.1 is the station to turn too if you want to listen to our Christmas Light show from the comfort and warmth of your car. We even recorded Bridget’s voice announcing the show times!
.
19 – Alice’s wedding
The day my sister gets married. December 19th. At 1:00pm.
.
4 8 15 16 23 42 – Um…
Just kidding!
Anyway, I’m sure there are a FEW more numbers I could come up with, but there you go!
.
P.S. Today, the 8th, is my sister’s birthday! Happy Birthday Livia!
Congratulations on having a date! It must be a nice relief to have a light at the end of the tunnel! (wow! no pun intended ;)) We’ll have to drive by your house to check out the lights, sounds like a lot of fun.
Today is my sister birthday too. I haven’t seen the light show yet…we will have to drive by and see. The 17th sounds good for VT. Sorry I forgot about finals. Wish your hubby good luck!
Happy 68!!! You look great for your age and you’re still having babies! Is that a world’s record? We need to come see your lights! Cadence would LOVE it!
I was just on Emily’s blog and then when I went to leave a message you left one 2 minutes earlier… Go to bed it’s late!!! LOL
