Just some late night musings.

I was thinking about a knitter's need to start something new. To start something new, even when there are so many things on needles, is thrilling isn't it? It's fresh and new and entertaining. You're fingers aren't used to that yarn, that pattern, and your eyes, the color. Maybe it's a bit like starting a new relationship, though I've not started a new one in 20 years so someone else may be able to say. I've been working on hats lately as you can see below and I'm halfway done with a hot pink hat for myself. It's some Lion Brand yarn I got on markdown, and I can't for the life of me remember the name. How weird. But it's one of their many mohair type yarns, it'll come to me in a bit.

Now tell me, why am I starting a third hat when I have two shawls that I've been working on for a long time and my son's sweater yet to do? I have Meg's TSP gift to finish by the end of September which is priority #1 at this time, but here I am doing a boring garter stitch hat! WTF? Maybe I needed a "new relationship", a quicky, one weekend fling... which happened now three times this weekend. hummm....

I also started another sock with leftovers. Not sure which kid will get them at this time. Socks go with me places, shawls don't. Neither do sweaters. Hats either for that matter. I also need to find a baby item that will go for any baby gender for early December. Maybe a nice tan/taupe colored cardigan in a sweet yarn.

I had an interview at Meijers Sunday and they're doing a background check. I may get a job this week and they pay jack shit but I'm DESPERATE! I also have an interview for Monday at Target if I don't hear from Meijers. Yeah, yeah, Target is WAY cool but I do more shopping at Meijers and I can take care of groceries after my shifts. Besides, I'm not sure Target pays much more than jack shit, maybe jack poop. Either way it still stinks. I also sent in a resume to an environmental group that is looking for field techs to do water/soil samples among other things. If I get a call for an interview I'm going to throw up! Want to talk about a job that has the potential to change my life? I'd continue in college, but the teaching aspect would be dropped and I'd just major in geology. Oh, a job like that would just well, make me giddier (is that even a word) than I normally am.

I expect I will be doing a ton of knitting the next couple of weeks because, 1)I'm nervous as hell about money, 2) I'm doing interviews, 3) my DH is having a slew of tests done because last week he was in the hospital for a night w/ stroke like symptoms and 4) SCHOOL STARTS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!!! Well, that about does it for late night babbels. Have a groovey and shagadelic night, I'm going to go snuggle my DH and thank any higher power that's listening that he's still here with me!
