A) The number of kids I had in English clubs today
B) The number of days until Christmas
C) The number of times I sang the ABC's song today
D) The number of flights of stairs I walked up and down today
E) The number of days until my birthday
Okay...so, are you ready? Humor me, and email me your response (because I like getting email) or leave it on here (because it's like an email).
But, I'm going to go ahead and tell you the answer. However, I really am curious what all of you thought :)
So...if you picked answer D, you're right. Yup. 42 flights of stairs were walked by yours truly today. Let me give you a quick play by play, because I'm tired and ready to go to bed. But...I've been slacking on blogging lately and felt a little guilty.
My office has 4 floors. I work on the 3rd floor. Today, I saw an apartment (that I will not be renting) that was on the 5th floor. That's 10 flights of stairs right there. Bam!
up 3--go to work
down 3--get peewee English club from their babushkas and moms on 1st floor
up 3--take peewee English club up to my office
down 3--finish peewee english club/take them back to waiting babas & mamas
up 3--work for 30 minutes
down 3--retrieve my visiting regional manager from 1st floor
up 3--take regional manager to my office
down 3--finished with regional manager meeting
up 5--visit apartment
down 5--leave apartment (that again, I will not be renting)
up 3--back to work
down 1--bathroom on my floor was locked by kids, must go down 1 floor to use different bathroom
up 1--back to work
down 3--leave work (finally)
If I did this everyday, I'd never have to work out! Although let's be realistic...I haven't worked out in at least 1 month. Maybe more...
Sidenote: I didn't count any of the "half flights" of stairs that Ukraine is famous for. IE, leaving my apartment, going into the grocery store, going into my work, etc.
Another sidenote: I don't really know if any of the other answer choices are correct or not. You can let me know how many days til Christmas and my birthday though. And there's a very, very good chance I sang the ABC's song at least 42 times today.

My latest birthday!
I guessed "days until Christmas." Probably because I haven't done any shopping yet. I didn't actually count it out though. I don't want to know!
On the way back from the OU-Texas game I took the stairs at Mitchell's DART stop. Most stairs I've climbed in recent memory. That station is DEEP undeground...
I thought it might have been how many times you sang the ABC song. It is amazing how much children love to sing that. And it is interesting how they interpert "l m,n,o,p."
You are doing good things Lydia Frost. Keep up the good work!!
Love you,
Susan
