How many staffing agencies can one town have?

It was a busy day today. Two interviews, with two new staffing agencies. And another one for tomorrow. It this crazy? I have 10 staffing agencies working with my resume. Granted, of those, I think two are disappearing agencies, who I've not heard from since the initial interviews... but still, I think the odds have to be in my favor at some point soon. I think things went well today - both agencies are passing along my resumes to spots. And to positions that sound intriguing.

I got a bit of work done on my mother's scarf while I watched that ridiculous game last night. I can't believe my team forgot to show up for the biggest game of the season. And after such a remarkable season too. Sad. Really sad. And being here in NYC and having to listen to all the insane cheering outside my window? UGH!

Does anyone out there have a fabulous baby blanket pattern? Friends of mine are expecting, and I'd love to make a blanket for them. But I can't find the perfect pattern. I want something that can easily go girl or boy, as they are going old fashioned and not finding out. (which I agree with - I so don't want to know whenever it is my time to have kids.... But then again, I'm the person who sits and looks at her wrapped Christmas or birthday presents for weeks and has no desire to touch them until the day of, so it only makes sense that I wouldn't want to know). And any suggestions on yarn too - I found this great soft cotton yesterday, but it pilled like crazy when I felt it. I want to avoid that, but retain the soft factor. And have something that is washable. And I love knitting with varying texture, so perhaps something that incorporates that...

I'm hoping to get my Hot Cocoa Swap box off into the mail tomorrow... I suppose I should find out where the post office is...

I feel like my life is consumed with the job search, making me a fairly boring individual. I promise more interesting notes when I have a job, and its not the only things on my mind.
