What Partial Unemployment Will Do To You...

Not working is really beginning to get me down. I mean, I work but for the most part my piddly hours I get now are consumed by standing outside of an airplane with a clicker in my hand, counting everyone that goes on the plane and telling them that "No, you can't go on the 747, sorry" or "No, this was not the plane that Kennedy's body flew back to Washington DC on". What's with people? Why are they so morbid? The presence of dead people is more than enough to make me want to stay away from somewhere. Of course they could be brought on by all the horror movies that take up a majority of my movie watching time.

Anyway, I took a whole bunch of pictures today of my new projects to post, but for the life of me, I cannot find the stupid cord to connect the camera to the computer so I can upload them. I haven't really looked that hard, so I am sure I will just make J look for it when he gets home from work. I have been knitting hats like crazy, I think they are my new thing. Or I just like the instant gratification of being able to make something in a day or two. I guess everyone is going to get a hat for winter holiday this year. 

I started making J a pair of Earl Grey socks for our anniversary. I figured if I started 2 months in advance then I would be able to get them done on time. I also finally finished my Inga Hat, only to discover that the pattern was made to fit a Cone Head. So I shrank it in the dryer. I have the entire process documented for posterity, but alas, the camera cord issue again rears it's ugly head. 

Also, out of boredom, I have started cooking. In the last week, I have made 2 pots of chili, 6 quiches, 7 loaves of bread, and a giant pot of chicken and rice soup. If I could eat sugar, I would have no doubt made an amazing amount of brownies, cupcakes and muffins. I guess I could use Splenda, but honestly, it kind of makes me farty, which is irritating when in groups. J hasn't complained, he likes all the food. When I work I get lazy  about making dinner, and left to his own devices he would eat deep fried burritos 3 times a day. 

Wow, It's Been A While...

So I haven't posted since May 26th. Lots has gone on since then. I got a contract position at work that got me through the summer and now I am at part-time and collecting a miniscule amount of unemployment. I apply to an absurd amount of jobs on a daily basis, and have several "almost" jobs come my way.
On an upside though, I have knitted an absurd amount of hats. I have an actual stack of hats. I guess I know what everyone is getting for "Winter Holiday" this year. I stopped eating sugar and have lost 4 pants sizes in 7 weeks (WooHoo!!!), and I am making a conscious effort to be more positive. Anyway, I am making a vow to make my posts more frequent now, and to actually take pictures of all the fun stuff in my life and share them with the world, because honestly that is why I read other people's blogs.
I have tomorrow off, maybe I will start my new and improved blog then.
