An update:
But before you begin to think that I am supper fast or stop not only for red lights, but yellow and green, I must point out that I had extra time this morning.
I car pool with my daughter and this morning she took extra long to get out the door. Now in most cases waiting for a woman to be ready is difficult. There is the watching of the watch, the pacing back and forth, even the inquiries into how much longer. Although I have to admit to an extra text message and one phone call to check status, I still sat comfortably in the drive way and continued on a few more rows.
Gentlemen, the answer is knitting.
Say the wife wants to change into that blue outfit instead of the fifth one she has tried on, or maybe the girlfriend (speaking here of a different man, not the same one from example one - that would just be wrong) is going to go with the hair up and will just take a second more, or maybe the teen age daughter (this one is the daughter to the married man from the first example, and is a daughter from this marriage) needs to get her books, even though you were already backing out of the driveway and had reminded her about the books SEVEN times before she came down, the answer to the blood pressure and pacing is KNITTING.
Take up knitting and all these frustrations are now opportunities. Opportunities to get a few more rows done, to start and finish the turn of the heel, or to complete the last 240 stitches on the gossamer shawl.
Smile.
