No, not what some of you think, but rather counting down the rows on the blanket flower.
There are 134 more rows.
At 4 rows per night it will take 34 nights.
That's 5 weeks, folks.
Tuesday evenings are a write off and there will be three of them between now and Spring Break.
The first two nights of Passover are also gone from the knitting calendar.
So, assume 10 lost nights (figure other stuff will get in the way), that makes it 45 nights to finish the flower. Then 136 rows of yellow and 32 rows of orange seed stitch. That's another 42 nights assuming I continue with 4 rows per night. Maybe up it to 6 for the yellow and then back down to 4 for the seed stitch and make it 31 nights. Now forget about the lost nights for now and we are projecting 65 nights to finish the knitting and one more to hide the ends (optimistic, aren't I). That brings us to: June 2. 19 days before Squidette's birthday.
Any bets?
(That said, I'm actually doing far more then 4 rows a night right now, but I don't want to count on being able to keep up that momentum.)
(And, for those of you who understood the first sentence, the number is 60.)

I bet you can do it. You may have a couple of those college all nighters if you need to, but I know you can do it!!
I'm rooting for you on everything you're counting down!
You can do it! {hugs}
