Number of tourists whose photos I have taken in front of a famous statue on campus: 3
Number of tourists in whose photos I am likely in the background: at least two dozen
Number of knitted objects completed: 5 - a Bainbridge scarf for my sister, the second baby cable rib sock I had begun last summer, a moss stitch pillow for our new living room, a modified Ice Queen from Knitty (no beads, and lace only at the edges), a washcloth for women's shelter "moving out" kits.
Number of steps from my assigned parking spot to my office: ~2500 (I started wearing a pedometer to trick myself into moving more)
Amount of hair trimmed from my head (about 3 inches, and I'm still coming to terms with it.)
