TOJC -- Two lost electrons!

I got some confusion surrounding problem 1.22d, the book asked to put the
molecule into its Lewis structure. The molecule was HONO2(HNO3). After
looking over my answer, I discovered I had 50 electrons (25pairs) instead
of the 48 electrons (24 pairs) that I should have. Should there be a
double someplace or did I simply miscount my electrons. Anyone's insight
to this problem would be rather helpful.
Thanks, Dan Casmier
