three hundred & sixty-eight days and counting

Well, the one-year anniversary of us landing at the St. John's airport for a temporary six-month assignment arrived on Friday. Today is Monday, and we're still here, three hundred & sixty-eight days later. I really love this little city, so I normally don't mind having had all of this extra time here, but waiting to move back is making me a little anxious. I feel that we're in some kind of limbo, where we can't really plan things here or there because I don't know how long we're going to be in St. John's or how soon we'll be in Calgary. Kind of frustrating.

Chris, Madeline, and I had another lovely restaurant meal this weekend - we went to the Tuscan Door for dinner on Saturday, and myprosciutto chicken (with Gorgonzola) was divinely prepared (certainly not overcooked like the review suggests!). I think that it made my Top Three Meals in St. John's list, up there with the dinner that I had at Basho back in August and the lovely brunch we went to at The Rooms last month.

Tonight is Stitch n Bitch at The Ship. I've only made it there once since coming home after Christmas - Monday nights seem to attract winter storms, but my fingers are crossed for better luck tonight. I'm still working on that scarf, and I've decided that while row after row of garter stitch is easy, it also takes a lot of time and uses a lot of yarn. I'm scoping out hat patterns for Project #3, but I don't think I'll start anything until I'm back in Calgary (land of several yarn shops) or my birthday needles arrive in the mail - whichever comes first.

I have seen those needles before... I actually considered buying you them for Christmas, but I decided against it. I didn't know if Knitting was a real hobby for you, or a fad. Too bad, I had a 50% off coupon for it that I didn't use. Oh well... I am sure that I can think of something great to get you for your b-day... maybe a Coon-Skin-Hat.
