Silence is Golden...

...so shut up and glitter! That's what my uncle used to tell my mom. But if silence really was golden I'd be a rich blogger, wouldn't I?

Things are hectic here. Christmas gifts on the needles, of course, but I also got laid off last month (severance to be determined, hopefully this week), so I'm in the midst of the roller-coaster of job hunting, interviewing, etc. The job hunting isn't so bad - I'm definitely polishing up my vocab! - but the applying and interviewing and not getting the job thing is really wearing me down. And being home all day with not much to do is not such a fun thing either - contrary to my longings when I was employed! The grass is always greener...

I have a couple posts rattling around, mostly to do with my Christmas knitting - I've found some incredible yarn out there! And there has been more hammering of hazelnuts - this time for baking biscotti (the first batch got sauced up and thrown together with Brussels sprouts - mmm!).

Bummer on the job front. Wanna wrap DVDs? Fabulous opportunities await. Ha ha! I know what you mean about grass-is-greener feelings, because I've lately been dreaming of being unemployed...and when sales slow down, I'll be antsy for them to ramp up again. Can't win. :) Hope you can find some enjoyment in the search.

I am put in mind of the long defunct Pogo cartoon strip drawn by Walt Kelly. One of my all time favorite lines from it is "We are confronted by insurmountable opportunities." Ain't it the truth?

Been prayin' about that job thing. Prayin' and prayin' and prayin'. Eager to see what God is going to do. Not nearly as much as you, though, I'm sure.

"I hear a train a comin', comin' round the bend. Ain't seen your sunshine since...." See you soon;)
