Do The Math: a house log

When it comes to the how long, how many, and how frequently, we do not typically take the time to quantify our blogging. But for our oh-so-special blogiversary, we hoped to break things down for you a bit.

380: The number of posts that we have written to date

2,592: The amount of comments we have amassed from our lovely readers (this is already out of date thanks to the strong responses to our previous post).

1,799: The total number of spam comments that our stupendous spam filter has intercepted. (No thank you fake commenters, we do not need anything “enlarged” around here.)

8: The number of posts we like to have in the hopper at all times (simply in case John surprises me with a fabulous vacation someday…)

18: The most posts that we have published in a week

4: The most posts that we have published in a day

2: The average number of times a day I call John with a technical journal question/emergency

2: The average number of times a day I call John to tell him about something funny that Burger did

10: The average number of hours each day that I sit at my desk chained to the computer

5: The number of steps from my desk to the couch (where I relocate with the computer on my lap after John comes home)

4: Average number of times per week that I use the word “swankify”

5: The number of “Sherry-words” John refuses to use when blogging (swoon, swankify, gorge, fab and purty)

America’s Next Top Model: It is not a number, but it is our go-to non-home-improvement show to watch while blogging (although there is a fair amount of pausing so we do not miss any of Tyra’s insanity)

Anything we missed that you must know? Ask and we shall calculate (to the best of my math-challenged abilities, that is).
