Weekend in Numbers: Viral Edition.

10... (Multiplied by 2) Ounces of coffee this Belle imbibed on Saturday morning to stay awake after the marathon of traveling + sickness that constituted the latter end of last week.

9... Dollars I spent on a fantastic pink and white seersucker dress on MAJOR clearance. It's summery and cute and I can't wait to wear it!!!

8... (Times 10) The temperature of the gorgeous weekend...thank you, global warming!

7... The number of times I had to re-set the timer on the oven because my chocolate chip-pecan scones would NOT bake (and who likes gooey, doughy insides? Yuck!).

6... The number of times I wished I wasn't sick so I could celebrate St. Paddy's Day on Saturday. Oh well, there's always next year.

5... Number of hours of sleep I got between Wednesday and Friday night... this is what happens when you have to get up at 5am to travel to Middle-of-Nowhere, MD for a prison visit (To alleviate all your fears, it was for work!! Please note: I am not, nor have I ever been incarcerated in a jail/prison/etc. at any point in my life!)...let me tell you, mJm is not a happy girl without sleep.

4... Number of tissue boxes used up in an effort to rid my horribly stuffy nose of its...well...stuffiness.

3... Movies watched in bed while trying to rest and recoup from Virus of Death.

2... Number of dystopian-society books I've read this weekend. Hunger Games, let me tell you, while you are fab and I am seriously excited for the movie this weekend, the Giver had you beat by about 15 years. Thank you for starting the dystopian trend, though...I'm loving all these great new books to read!!!

1... Number of Journal assignments I had this weekend. I had 5 sources to find and cite, which, comparatively speaking, is a light load. But guess what? 3/5 require you to register for an information consultant to provide you with said data. Um, excuse me...I don't think so.

1/2... Number of fantastic PB Delight cupcakes I was able to eat last night (being sick > eating cupcakes, which SUCKS)...these babies are the BEST! Moist chocolate cake, peanut butter icing, dipped in chocolate ganache, with a quarter of a PB cup on the top! Mmmm.....
