The Waiting Game

I am the queen at the waiting game! It never fails, last week I was in a huge hurry to make sure my application materials were in on time and now I wait. I'm waiting for other people to decide if I'm worthy enough and experienced enough to be interviewed. It'll be one week tomorrow that the materials had to be in. And all I can do is wait. Needless to say I'm trying to keep as occupied as humanly possible. Thus I planned meals once again (Loaded Baked Potato Soup, page 30 of Cheap, Fast, Good! use half and half instead of milk). I also finished my second knitting project!

I learned to knit in 7th grade home economics class, but I've never finished a project. I have a lot of half finished scarves sitting around (one nearing 14 years old). But in the last month I have finished two, a scarf and a matching hat. I've never been one who can sit still long enough, thus why my projects take forever. But, Friday night during a particularly rough spell of the waiting game, I sat and knitted for 3 1/2 hours straight. I'm not one to sit still for very long so this was quite an accomplishment. Scott modeled them for me and now wants a hat to match his scarf I'm working on. This first project is a Christmas present for my Grandfather. And hopefully I'll be able to give it to him in person in the next two weeks! At least I'm being productive, but I really wish they would call and let me know one way or the other.
