Been neglecting the blog...

I realized today that I haven't posted in a while.  I've got no good excuse.  I was off work for a week between Christmas and New Years, and didn't do much of anything except watch Greys Anatomy reruns, and knit.  I did finish my mother's Dipped Infinity Scarf.


I really like how it turned out!  And she loved it.  Yay!

I've also had a lot of ups and downs these past few weeks.  I finally started getting hits on my resume for jobs out in California.  Yes...I desperately want to move to the San Francisco Bay area.  In the most recent job hit, I made it to one of the final 3 candidates.  And didn't get it.  I seriously had a little pity party for myself, but have decided that it just wasn't meant to be.  This gives me more time to actually get my crap together, get organized, save a little money, and be prepared when the time comes.  But I'm still bummed.  I had even started looking at housing options.  Oh well.

SO...to keep my mind off of my depression, I'm knitting a new scarf for myself.  The pattern is Aria Delicato by Anne Hanson, and I'm using Knit Picks Chroma Fingering in the Midwinter colorway.  So far so good!


Another thing I'm trying to do is be a little more active.  Not only will it help my state of mind, but my health too.  I've started walking again, and really hope to get to the running stage.  Larry (my hubby) is already running half marathons (yes...he's crazy), and while I may or may not get up to that level, I really think that this is what I need to complete the whole "Mind, Body, Soul" transformation.

So...if you're ever driving through Panama City Beach and see this tall chubby woman shuffling along, trying to look like a runner, just shout a few words of encouragement!  Please!  ;)

Signing off for now.  I promise to try to post more frequently in the future!!  Seriously!

More later,
