Patience (or the lack there of)

Things I am currently waiting for in the mail:

1. A shipment of yarn from the U.K.

2. Fabric for my Halloween costume.

3. New winter coat.

4. Stickers I had printed for Luvable Hugable.

I think that with my kids I am generally a pretty patient person, though not always.  Likewise with my husband (those of you who know UiJin know this is not an easy task).  Otherwise, I have the patience of a two year old.  Every day that the mailman comes without a package for me, I try not to burden with my glare of disappointment.  I love my mailman...he is the best!  It's not his fault that I live in a town where I can't just drive to the store and buy these things.  So I'm forced to wait.  I think it's probably good for me.  I'm definitely prone to doing things impulsively.  I like instant gratification. I've always found it strange that I took so easily to knitting, which is anything but instant gratification.  So to take my mind off of the waiting, I'm doing lots of knitting...and laundry.  And boy, do I ever need to do some laundry.

As for the knitting, the wig is such a quick knit!  It should be all finished by week's end.  After that, I'm hoping to knit a couple of Halloween dolls, and then work on getting some new patterns up for sale...things that will make awesome Christmas gifts.  Yes, I have lots of big plans.

Tonight is Wednesday, and you know what that means...knitting night!  Tonight we're transplanting the group to the Dragonfly theater, where they are airing the Presidential debates for free.  So it's going to be an evening filled with stitching, friends, politics, beer, and pizza!  That is the best way I can think of to take my mind off the mail.
