MY LAST FEW WEEKS, IN NUMBERS

Every day I wake up with the intention of filling you all in on life down here in California -- I truly do -- but somehow I just never get around to doing it. Can I blame it on falling into the chill, SoCal way of life? No? Shoot. Well, to try and make up for it, I present you with a summary of my trip/working-vacation/sabbatical(?) so far:

- 1,000 times of saying "Good girl!" in a high-pitched, excited voice

- 65 dog poos picked up and disposed of

- 20 dollars lost at a casino blackjack table -- which were letter repaid out of the winnings of my sister-in-law's high-roller father

- 11.5 miles put in on my sister-in-law's bike, my mode of transportation -- and I apologize for being one of those erratic bikers who's not really sure if they're a pedestrian or a vehicle, I despise those people and yet I fear I've become one of them out of sheer disdain/fear of riding bikes on main roads, give me a back road and/or trail any day

- 10 run 'mercy' rule being employed in both of the softball games that we've played in a rec. league -- with us being the ones extending the mercy, obviously

- 8 people that I watched get jumped over in one jump by a street performer at Venice Beach

- 5 celeb. spottings --alright, so they may not really count as spottings since it was actually on the set of The Tonight Show, but nonetheless, I did see the likes of Craig T. Nelson, Rumer Willis, Ludacris, Kevin Eubanks (he counts as a celebrity right?), and of course Jay Leno; not to mention, I got to shake Jay's hand! That's right folks. Feel free to play the Megan version of "Where's Waldo" and look for the moment in last Friday's episode.

- 4 nights a week relaxing and watching our must-see TV shows together

- 3 days of feeling under the weather

- 2 wineries visited in the wine country just outside of Santa Barbara -- beautiful, fun trip, but not the best time for having given up alcohol for Lent, dang it; however, a great time for having a sweet brother who will buy you a bottle of wine from one of the wineries for after Easter

- 1 great hike in Malibu Canyon

- 0 pictures to show for any of it because I had already uploaded them to my computer, which has decided that it is done living -- wonderful
