Time passes slowly

I feel like I spend a lot of my life waiting.

I wait for Christmas to arrive.

I wait for Christmas to be over.

I wait until I have finished my work to go and play.

I am waiting for our cruise to arrive.

And as I sit here, I am waiting for an interviewee to call me back.

But, I guess the good thing about waiting is it is SUPPOSED to teach you about patience. To teach you to be calm and carry on and to take time to smell the roses.

For those of you who know me really well, you know I have no patience what-so-ever! I am a horrible person to be stuck in traffic with. Even though I know, no matter how much I get myself into a snit, I cannot make the traffic go any faster or improve the situation, but I will still complain and huff.

There is the old saying, "good things come to those who wait." I think whoever came up with this, was just probably sick of sitting in the car, stuck in traffic, with someone like me.

So since I have this waiting problem, I need some advice. What do you do to help you count down the hours, days or months while you wait?

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Well, it feels like the Earth is standing still. The day is going so slow. Right now I am waiting for a source to get back to me about a newspaper article. This is the hardest part about being a journalist. Once I have the interview completed, the rest of the article is easy. I just hate playing phone tag.

So I am left to pretty much wait and see the rest of the day. So, I am just surfing the net and seeing if there are any discounts on Disney trips for this year. We haven't booked yet, and are trying to stretch our dollars as much as possible. But, that is pretty much just waiting for people to get back to me on price quotes.

I am also waiting for my package of E.L.F. makeup products to arrive so I can get ready for the day. Kev and I are going to be going over to his parents' house for dinner at 6pm, so until then I don't really have much to do today.

Maybe if the sun would come out for awhile, the day would be a little better.

I guess I had better get back to my waiting.
