Re: Your Life by the Numbers
~Longest you've gone without bathing-5 days. Sounds gross, but my dad had the water turned off because he was renovating the bathroom, and we had limited water. So my "bathing" consisted of a damp wash rag and hand soap.
~Most bowls of cereal eaten in one sitting--However many are in a whole box.
~Number of times you've been chased by a dog--a mean dog: once. Can't even count the number of times I've been chased just playing.
~Latest you've been for school/work--an hour and 45 minutes for work (Danny hit a deer and I had to go help him before work). School....uh, an hour for an hour 45 minute college course. I spun my car around in the snow and continued to school because the prof was known to deduct letter grades for missed days. When I told him what happened, he gave me a free day.

~Number of cavities at one appointment 0! I don't have any cavities.
~Longest you've gone without bathing -- 4-5 days. Gorss, I know... When I was first at college, I never really got into the swing of personal hygiene, and having to walk down the hall to take a shower, and most likely wait in line to take said shower, just made things so much worse. So I would prolong it as much as I could... nasty.
~Most bowls of cereal eaten in one sitting -- 3. I can eat Lucky Charms like it's no one's business!
~Number of times you've been chased by a dog -- 2. I swear growing up the neighborhood dogs hated me. Either that or they really liked my bike.
~Latest you've been for school/work -- 3 hours. When I was in MD, it was after a huge breakup and I was in a bought of depression. Looking back, I am SO happy my bosses were understanding and supportive of my tough time.
~Shortest book you've ever used for a book report -- 100 pages. I don't remember what it was, but I hated doing book reports and it was definitely a time when it needed to be longer when it was.
~Number of times caught picking your nose -- I don't know, but I can remember one time in 3rd grade when the teacher caught me and called me out in front of the class... it sucked.
~Age you learned to ride a bike -- I think I was 4 or 5?
~Average hours of TV watched per day -- 4 to 5, and this isn't really watching the whole time. Most of the time Sprout is on in the background for Sam, and I don't really watch any of my shows until she's gone to sleep.
~If you could stay the same age forever, what would it be? right now. I'm really looking forward to 30!
~Most fast food eaten in one day -- there was a day when I had DD for breakfast, McDonald's for lunch, and Taco Bell for dinner. Fat.
~Highest number of pets at one time -- there was one time in MD when we had 4 cats in the house. Other than that there were the two dogs, the guinea pig, and the hamster. Then there were the two dogs and the fish.
~Longest time waiting in line -- We waited in line for 4 hours to get into Kohls this past Black Friday.
~Longest you were ever grounded as a kid -- a whole summer. I received an F in my math class, which was just unacceptable, so my parents grounded me and made me redo the entire course by going through the math book, front to back, so that I could remain in the top-level math class the next year.
~Number of times you've been locked out of your house -- Once. It only takes once.
~Farthest distance you've walked -- 20 miles. Walk for Hunger, b!tches!
~Longest time spent away from home -- 5 years if you want to be that technical. Then it was the one year I went away to live at school. Otherwise our honeymoon if we're talking about this current home.
~Number of times flown in an airplane -- Many. It's gotta be up in the 30s at this point. Back and forth from MA to MD and vice versa. Various trips, etc.
~Number of states you've visited -- at this point, 15. Just about everything up and down the east coast.
~Number of cavities at one appointment -- 8. This is what happens when you dont go to the dentist for 2 years.
