An approximation of my day:
16- The number of random strangers that yelled at me as I was walking today.
6- The number of times I had to explain to the first graders what part of the paper they were supposed to be drawing on.
50- The number of ants that decided to crawl through a hole into my room and die in the corner- At least they're dead!
90- The difference in the current temperature between here and Northern Colorado right now (in degrees F).
0- The number of riots I've seen, despite living in Northern Africa right now. I am safe (and if you don't know what I mean by that, please expose yourself to some international news!)
And finally, 1- The number of days until the weekend, yay!

By the Numbers
You know how in the margins of magazines they sometimes have a random section of interesting facts? That is by far my favorite part to read. So, I think I will add a section like that to my blog. Hopefully you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it!
By the Numbers:
13- The number of mosquito bites on my right leg.
5- The number of new bus routes I've learned in the past few days.
10- The approximate number of hours the water was cut in a 24 hour period.
3- The number of times I've had meat in the past week.
12- The number of times I've moved in the past 18 months.
50 or so- The number of times I've been reminded of God's goodness this week.
19- The number of words that were NOT highlighted by the spell check in this post. I know my spelling isn't that bad!
The Quotable:
A lot of times things written in English don't make sense, or at least what is written is not exactly what they probably wanted to say. Today I saw a restaurant sign that said, "Good food, fresh service." Hmmm, apparently they didn't know that when you use fresh to describe an attitude that it's not a good thing!
