So the weather here has turned terrible lately. Not that it really looks that terrible, but it's been below 15 degrees for about a week now, rarely even getting over 10 normally. But it's also just so bright and sunny and happy looking - until you step out your door!
Today has been filled with more than one "please wait" kind of moment; and therefore I felt the need to vent my frustrations somewhere.
I hate waiting. Period.
I hate that suspense and anticipation and the un-knowingness of what's to come. That sick feeling you get when you have no clue what you're in for? I hate that feeling. Butterflies. Nerves. That jittery, I need to move feeling? Yep, hate that too. Surprises? Oh man, I'm more of a, tell me what I'm getting and I'll be so excited I'll still be excited when it happens, person.
Now, don't get this confused with patience. I am a very patient person. I can work with a student who is struggling for hours, I can walk someone through a complicated procedure, I can work with ADHD kids like there's no tomorrow! Patience I have. Waiting I don't.
Most people would say that waiting isn't an adjective that you can use to describe an emotion or something similar. I think that's wrong. I think that just like having patience you can have non-waiting ability. I'm almost positive about this.
So for those people out there who are making me wait and it's causing me frustration, this post is precisely directed at you. And you know who you are.
I'll just be here. Waiting. With as much patience I can muster :)

New Year's Resolutions
Wow, it's been quite some time since I've been on and actually written anything! I was hoping to have some shoots before Christmas was over, but unfortunately the weather didn't want to cooperate as much as we all did! I figure since I have about 45 minutes before January 1st is over, I can get a post in and maybe stick to some resolutions in the meantime!
I've always thought that resolutions were kind of an excuse for not having done something previously, "Oh, I'll do it tomorrow....next week...next year! Oh it's New Years, I'm totally doing ______ this year!" But I think resolutions can also keep you on a good track, say if you've already started something and want to keep it going.
Here are, as follows, my resolutions:
1. Stress less: I know this really shouldn't be my top resolution because it's setting myself up for failure, but I really am going to try to work on just letting things go or not worrying if it's not something I need to worry about.
2. Have more confidence: I think this past year overall my confidence has jumped leaps and bounds, but I think that there's always room for improvement. I need to focus specifically on just saying what I want to say rather than dodging things and trying to drop hints. Stick up for myself more often. And not be afraid to do something where I might get hurt in the process. Ohhh risk taker me!
3. Pay off my bills: I'd love to be able to live without a credit card. While with just one, that one gets me into a lot of trouble! I'd love to be independent with my savings and get all my current bills paid off.
4. I also resolve to write and post not when I'm just doing a challenge lol and at least more than once a month.
I think that 2013 has the potential to be an amazing year already, just based off 2012 and some of the things that have happened that have led into this new year. I want to be right in saying that this year is going to be one of the best to date for me, and I think we all know that only we can really do what we want to do and make of things what we want to make of them. So this year, I'm moving forward with more confidence, less stress, and more money haha (I wish) :)
