Being my non-artistic, precise self, I've always had a special fondness for Paint by Numbers. I mean, I could look like I knew what I was doing and it was so dang easy to make a masterpiece. Translated to the blogging world, Paint by Numbers becomes Week by Numbers: an easy way to see what I've been up to all week (because I know you're so interested!)! But unlike Paint by Numbers, Week by Numbers involves no clean-up or accidental paint spills, so it's pretty much gold.
8 trillion // (at least!) the seconds that I've waited for my computer to load since it decided to suddenly turn into a dinosaur on me. #Rawr #NotCool
231 // pages read of Pride and Prejudice. I LOVE MR. DARCY. That is all.
45 // minute work-out that Allie and I completed yesterday that has me hobbling like a baby deer today.
22 // the amount of times that I've listened to "Shake It Off" because it's my jam. Also, I picked 22 because it seemed like a nice, round, Taylor Swift number, not because I actually know.
14 // the amount of times I've had to charge my phone because like my computer, it decided to stop doing its job. I think technology hates me.
12 // hours of sleep that I got on Friday night because I went to bed at 8. Party animal, I know.

11 // cat pictures taken. Here's one to grace your eyeballs. You're welcome.
8 // hand-lettering designs that I've attempted. I suddenly got the urge that I had to learn how to make pretty word designs right that second, and so I did. Well, attempt that is. Homework, shmomework.

| No, I didn't go through and decorate my entire planner . . . . well, I might have. |
7 // cookies eaten. A cookie (or two) a day keeps the doctor away! Right?
5 // times that I've watched the new "Blank Space" music video. I'm not usually big on music videos, but something about Taylor's psycho breakdown has me clicking replay.
4 // recipes made. Pumpkin bars and baked oatmeal for the win. Butternut squash mac&cheese, not so much. But I mean, hey, someone somewhere has to like it! Also, I'm counting my pineapple+blueberry smoothie that I had for breakfast about five days in a row.
3 // movies watched: Elf, Big Hero 6, and Legally Blonde, in case you were interested. Also, I can now reference bend + snap and know what I'm talking about!
1 // metal bar walked straight into yesterday in my school's weight room. In front of the whole wrestling team. Cool.
Linking up with Helene today for Song of the Week Wednesday! This week's was a no-brainer as I've been newly re-obsessed with Rooney's "When Did Your Heart Go Missing" as I rediscovered it last week and promptly bought it and played it about 84 times in a row. Shout out to my family and friends for neither smashing my phone or killing me over it . . . though I wouldn't have blamed them if they did. Enjoy!
What are some of your numbers of the week?
xx,
Allison
