My feet haven’t touched grass since September. Heck, until yesterday even my shoes hadn’t touched grass since December sometime.
My skin hasn’t felt the cool pool, nor have my toes touched sand, since August.
I haven’t been married for over a year.
I haven’t worked from my office in 729 days. Exactly.
I haven’t eaten banana pudding since 2013. It was in West Virginia. I went back for seconds, then thirds.
I haven’t been pregnant, fat and proud and full of hormones, since 2012. My hair was curly from the hormones. I emobodied anticipation itself.
My kitchen hasn’t smelled of green chile stew since 1998.
It’s been 44 years since my first day of kindergarten, and here I am still in school every year since.

Such a wonderful list! I love all the math – about so many special moments. I especially love the years since kindergarten and being in school every year since!
Very intriguing list! It leaves me wanting to know more, but maybe you wished to create mystery?
Oh what a fantastic format! I love! I’ll have to give it a try. I was pregnant in 2012 too- my daughter was born in March 2013.
I really enjoyed the “I haven’t” mantra throughout. It made me think what parts of my life I would choose to discuss.
Brilliant, perspectives!! Makes me want to write about this, too!
Welcome to SOLSC!
You are doing brilliantly with this clever post. I like how you need to think differently to create this list.
It is an inspiring format, which I’d like to try.
What a fun format for this list that keeps track of time. Like others said, you make me want to try this out too. Thanks for the fun!
I love how this is wistful, bittersweet, and just light enough … when I tried this the other night it came out just very very sad…I’m going to need to practice again!

I love how keeping track of time really makes one reflect upon the little things in life.
