Today’s my five year anniversary of not smoking. I’ve saved over $6000 and not smoked 45,000 cigarettes.

After much debate we’ve decided not to go to the ranch this weekend. I’m pretty bummed about it, because I miss my family a bunch, but I’m still in pain after my surgery last week. On top of that we’ve got the kids not sleeping well and the tummy bug thing. I’m not feeling well at all right now, bleh.

Oh, here’s the quilt I just finished. I have a picture here of the top of the last one I made, before quilting and finishing it. I’m working on a king sized one for our bed now, in this pattern. The colors I’m using are more fall toned though – greens, rusts, browns, turquoise, gold, etc. I’m also making an applique quilt. Right now I’ve gotten the first 2 blocks completely done and am halfway through the third.

Ugh, think it’s time to curl up in bed for about 15 hours.
