It's been over a year since I updated my blog. Coincidentally, it was a year ago that I was given extra duties at work, frequently working extra hours, and was tired every night coming home (and very stressed). The last year at work has been pretty difficult, but it's over now and I'm looking forward to the future.
License plate game: we're now on 345! Ray and Chloe just saw 344 today, and I saw 343 yesterday. We've been through weeks of not seeing any numbers, though, so it's nice to get some momentum!
This last year we took one big trip, it was to Mexico for a friend's wedding. I'll post some pictures of that later. We could not believe how absolutely beautiful Mexico was! I feel really lucky to have been invited and to have been able to go to such a wonderful event.
We took a couple of short trips to various places in the state, and was able to get back to LaConner last month. It was really good to relax and get away.
I've gotten back to my sewing and stamping lately, too. I started working again on my Christmas quilt that I started 2 years ago. I also started a block-of-the-month quilt kit from Keepsake Quilting.
I feel so much better lately. I feel like I'm coming out of a fog, and hopefully I can keep it this way!

One more day until Thanksgiving weekend!
Yay - one more day until a 4-day weekend! I'm looking forward to sleeping in, orange biscuits, turkey and mashed potatoes, spending some more time with my family, and having some time to do some stamping and scrapping.
We're looking for license plate #123. Yesterday, we saw 119, 120, and 121, plus Ray's car is 122, so we saw 4 in one day!
Been playing with my new iPhone, an early Christmas gift from Ray (thanks, Honey!) It has some really cool applications that you can download for it. One of them is called "Grocery IQ" - it's a grocery list where you can save "favorites" (things you buy often), and make a list from them and whatever else you need. You can store the items as favorites, keep a history of purchases, even send a list via email to another person! We went grocery shopping tonight using it. We had our list in the phone and was able to check them off. When we checked off every item, it came up with a note that said we got everything, and would we like to delete the list?
Another fun application is called "Shazam" - where you can hear a song playing, have your phone record a few seconds of the song (just hold up your phone to the speaker), and it will tell you what song you're listening to. You can then add that song to your iTunes list if you want to buy it. Pretty nifty!
I can also download the Facebook application and keep up with friends on my phone, as well as post pics and updates. I'm told I can update my blog from it, too, so we'll see about that.
Whoever would have thought that you could do all these things with a phone?

Veteran's Day
I want to thank all of the Veterans for their service. I appreciate them! I wish there were no wars...but I'm thankful that there are people out there ready to serve their country and to protect us.
Today, Chloe and Ray had the day off, and I was able to take the day off too. We went to the new Regal theater in The Landing in Renton to see Madagascar 2. Very nice theater (and I know my theaters! LOL), it had these really great auditoriums where you really couldn't have a bad seat. The seats were nice and plush and springy, with plenty of leg room and good sightlines. The theater was new and fresh, with nice, helpful workers ready to go the extra mile.
Tonight, I'm making spaghetti. It's smelling pretty good right now! Chloe is helping by stirring it periodically.
License plate number we're looking for: 113.

License Plate Game: 100
Well, we reached 100 in the license plate game. Last year, we met some people that had started finding license plates, in order, counting to 999 (they were currently at 152).
We all decided that would be a fun game to do. And now, a year later, we saw 100. Now we're on 101.
Rules are that you need to start with 000, then 001, etc, in order. If you see a plate that has a bunch of numbers in a row (like trucks), the last 3 numbers need to be the ones you need. Ray and Chloe see the most of them. When Chloe was in Hawaii, she saw about 5 in a row for us.
When Ray's parents were in town, his Dad helped us out and found a couple of plates for us. Now he's started doing his own countdown.
It's weird how it works sometimes. Sometimes you're looking for, say, 067. You'll see 068, 069, and 070 in a row, but they don't count. You need to find 067 first, then find them again.
