I'm antsy. I think it's a pretty common condition in the US today, and maybe even in other countries that hope the US finally does something sensible. As we all know, it's election day. Finally. I've done my bit and voted (it's no secret, I voted for Obama). I'm off to volunteer this afternoon, and a party this evening, but mostly it's come down to waiting.
When I wait I have a pretty standard routine. I ferret around the house looking for something to eat that isn't too unhealthy, thankfully there's no chocolate. Between snack hunts I surf the internet looking for yarn, patterns, and reassuring election stories (which is better than the last couple of weeks when I thought we were looking at the end of our economic system). I might even do some housework. But, as you might guess, my biggest distraction is casting on new projects. Over the years I have discerned that the number of new projects is directly proportional to the importance of the matter at hand.
My only limit may be how many needles I've got (and I've got a lot).
Go vote and then join me in the stash room.
Voted for Obama, too. And now, we wait...

No chocolate? I must have at least 10 pounds! Only gave away 6 full size bars and that includes those I gave to my kids.
Startitis? Too busy checking the exchange rate ;-)

Yup, I'm very antsy too. Voted for Obama as well. Just waiting for results.

So? How many did you begin?

Congratulations. Yes, we voted. I'm glad to see you're back on the blog. I'm catching the startitis bug too.

Are you back blogging? Or is it just when you are feeling really anxious?
Love,
Nancy
