A Knitting Affair

I have no knitting mojo at the moment. I am stuck. It sucks. I can’t decide what to do. I have started a few projects but they are just not jiving with my knitting mood. I would like to work on a sweater or vest but with the weight I am losing I don’t want to knit something that won’t fit me by the time that I am done it. So I have put those aside. I could knit some socks (we know I am not at a loss for sock yarn) but again, I can’t decide what yarn to use. I would love to do some scarves, but again … that whole motivation thing. I have been working on my blocks for the NYOBE and am almost done. Maybe then I will have more of a clue.

I was laid off at work last week. To be honest, it was kinda a godsend. Those whom I talk to on a regular basis are actually quite pleased with this turn of events and I can’t disagree. This has nothing to do with the lack of mojo, but amplifies it as I am at a time in my life where I can spend a time actually knitting. Frustrating. I have interviews this week and am gone on the 19th for my trip. If I don’t get an offer before I leave I will work through some agencies when I am back. The worst thing that happens is I get a job at ‘bucks (sorry Karen!!) or McDonalds or something. Just so long as I am doing something, anything!! As much as I long to be able to stay at home, I don’t think its something I could do long term. But hey, if you know anyone who is hiring and needs an executive assistant let me know!

On another front – WOW – am I ever excited to go away. I have been fake tanning. I am still white, but more off white! And, I can fit into Victoria Secret clothing. If I could show you my grin as I talk about this I would, but alas, my hair isn’t done. I even bought a bra that should have fit (well it did when I first got it) but after two weeks it is already getting gappy (yes I know thats not a word). I am in the under 20lbs to lose range and it  couldn’t feel better.  To think that I started off with wanting to lose 70+ lbs. Just awesome. So while I am eating right, exercising and looking for work, I am also cleaning and trying to organize some of my house so that it is nice to come home to. Cameron sidetracks that but I am doing my best to work around him.

So there you have it. In a nutshell. Oh, and even the spinning mojo is gone.
