My Month in Numbers 2012: April

Hi again.

Tomorrow we'll be in May. May!

And I only just got used to writing '04.2012' on my timesheets.

But if the calendar says another month's over, then I guess I'll have to take its word for it and introduce another Month ... in Numbers [if you'd like to join in too, please stop by here to read the small print!].

Now let me show you how my April added up ...

0.617m2 = the area of clean, clear, white space which was my desk [for about 2 hours this month]:

Take a good, long, hard look at that clear desk, because, trust me, you won't see the likes of that again any time soon. [My desk is white. Who knew?]

I just had a funny turn one morning and decided that I couldn't possibly begin working until my room was cleaned. And I do mean cleaned. There was Domestos involved for goodness sake! For the record:

• thinking about cleaning my room happens quite often yet ...
• actually cleaning my room happens close to never and ...
• needless to say ... it doesn't look like that any longer. I don't know what it does like like though- because I can't tell under all that paper.

34 = the number of clothes donated to charity to lighten the load of the drawer beneath the bed:

There was a mountain of jersey cotton in that drawer and, now I've got rid of all that ^^^, it's now merely the size of a large hill ...

30, 74, 75, 76 = the page numbers my work features on in the latest Somerset Memories magazine. Let me tell you, to someone who's always hoped that one day, she'd make it into a Stampington title ... there's no more exciting sight on a morning than finding this on your doormat:

I'm still not sure of the pages I made it on to in Stampington's Art Journaling as my copy hasn't arrived yet. So I've another exciting postal delivery still to come.

And as if that wasn't enough ... April definitely earned the title of Month of Exciting Magazine Happenings ...

1 = the first ever copy of Featuring Magazine arrived last week:

That's me on pages 14 and 38. I've talked a lot about Featuring lately so I'll just direct you to the website for now and you can find out more at your leisure.

30 = the number of Episodes of Justified watched:

Basically I went from never seeing an episode to watching two full seasons and 4 episodes of the latest season [on UK TV].

This is not usual behaviour for me. I'm not a box-set kinda girl at all. And I only have about 3 DVDs to my name. But for Justified ... it's brilliant story-telling, dialogue that keeps my ears sharp [not to mention what the leading man does for my eyes], for all that ... I've made an exception.

And it's also just possible that, as I type ... I'm watching Season 1 from the beginning again ...

And finally, perhaps the loudest and largest thing that happened this month ...

3 = the number of demolitions watched from the back window last Sunday morning:

James took the photos while I just watched a bit overawed, a bit freaked out. The view from the bathroom window will never be the same!

-------------------------------------------------

So that's the sum total of my April 2012 ... now you're welcome to share your own statistics with me:

• If you'd like to take part in the full Month in Numbers community blogging experience [and to join the others on the Pinterest board]  then please, please read the info here first. It's really just about give + take.
• And if you're just happy reading through everyone's posts ... then that's most welcome too! [There are no rules for that ... you've just got to be able to read ... which I'm guessing you've got the hang of. What with you reading this right now and everything ...].

----------------------------------------------

See you later this week.

Julie :-)
