Linking with Julie Kirk with my April 2014 numbers.
57350 the number on a little scrap of paper I picked up off the floor
30 days of project 365 completed
8 ladies at lunch with my Wednesday group
2 Coffee’s with friends
1 lunch with a friend at a new place…very nice!
10 fabulous Ruby Nails with a butterfly alighting on a flower! That’s what Sarah (my nail technician) said anyway
2 visits to the dentist. Both appointments were 60 minutes long, that’s 120 minutes! I really think I have conquered my fear now.
2 days out with my friend to National Trust properties
7 Lotta days
25 years of Ben (seems like yesterday)
1 meal in our favourite restaurant in town
10 postcards made for iHannahs swap
8 of my own postcards sent out
I very beautiful EMPTY lone wasps nest found
5 of us at a family dinner on Good Friday, great food & lots of laughing
8 very beautiful Easter eggs in a box; complete with yellow rice paper straw!
from my husband,
17 days on a blogging break which I really enjoyed but I missed you all.
April, Ben’s birthday: always lots of reminiscing to be done, occasions remembered, tales told and re-told, and lots of laughing… poor Ben! This time his girlfriend, Lotta was here and he had the week off work so it was extra special. Easter came & went and Paul has been working away so a mixed month: nothing strange or startling, as my mother used to say.
The number on the little piece of paper that I found made me smile and think of Julie Kirk. She always has such interesting numbers to share so I thought I would include this, just because I can.
The chocolates are gorgeous, just two left!
Thank you Julie.
HI Miriam,
I like your monthly numbers. Maybe I will try it this month. I’m recovering from a long illness and despairing of ever getting my energy back. Maybe totting up the little strides I make will be motivational.
Also, forgive me if I have confused you with someone else, but did you send me a postcard? I think it was you I sent my address to, but I’m not 100% certain. At any rate, I have not received anything from you. This could be due to 1. you didn’t send it yet, 2. you sent it and it got lost, 3. you’re not the person I sent my address to, 4. this whole postcard thing is a figment of my imagination. Sigh.
Anyway, I hope you have a pleasant Sunday. Monday is our 28th anniversary, but we’ll probably splurge on some Starbucks coffee concoction tomorrow morning as, of course, Monday is a workday. 🙂 m
Lots of lovely time spent with family and friends, makes for a very good month in my book. Those Easter eggs are beautiful. Do you know I misread the first line and thought you’d picked up 57350 scraps of paper from the floor! Glad to see you back blogging. I’ve missed you too.
I envy you being able to conquer your Dentist fear.
“strange or startling” – my Mum says that. If I hear myself saying it, I’m going to know I’m really turning into my mother!
Those are some very appetising looking Easter eggs
sounds a lovely month and I like your Mum’s saying of nothing strange or startling – there is a lot to be said for it. Tour chocolate egg box looks yummy and I love the randomness of that number on the piece of paper
Sounds like you’ve had a busy month! The eggs are beautiful.
It looks like another busy, but fulfilling, month! I’m always happy, as I’m sure you are, when there’s lots of family time!
Lovely to know that you can all celebrate together – I always think it’s lovely to do this as a family :). Some very interesting numbers there – wey-hey for conquering the dentist’s chair! Easter eggs? Wishing I had some left ….
I always so enjoy reading your numbers, Miriam.
It sounds like you had a great month.
I wish you a wonderful beginning to your week.
Another interesting month! Sounds like a good one (except for the dentist part). I love those Easter eggs. They wouldn’t have lasted this long around me!
I’m glad you enjoyed your blog break, but I’m also glad you’re back.
Oh Miriam … when I read your first number I thought to myself … ‘that’s the kind of thing that I’d do’ … and then there you are, saying the same thing! Love it! Now all you need to do is find the door/safety deposit box/ laptop that that code unlocks … and you’ve got a whole other story to tell!!
Your wasp’s nest reminds me of the time I was revising for collage exams in my parent’s summer pagoda type thingy [!] … and all week I’d been hearing a funny quiet scraping noise but thought nothing of it really until … I noticed that in the corner, behind / above me there was a newly built wasp nest made from the wood pulp they’d been scraping from the wood all around me! It was a little bit creepy … even though, like yours, their structure was amazing!
Thanks for joining me again Miriam – I always love how you present your statistics.
Your post’s safely pinned to the board alongside the others now: http://pinterest.com/notesonpaper/my-month-in-numbers/
May May bring you many good things!

Your April was really full of numbers; love that you included the scrap paper number! Makes one wonder what it could’ve represented! Are the gorgeous paintings scrolling at the top of your blog your creations?
