shoes, sunglasses, & giraffes: the countdown starts

This summer, for me, has been extremely packed and crazy. Between work, my friends, and my side projects I've created for myself, there has barely been a moment to relax. I have only watched one full episode of Wipeout, just to give you an idea (and if you have never watched Wipeout on abc, you've been deprived of a real ab work out).

Even with all the business going on, this past week, I started getting this feeling that I couldn't identify. It started with wanting to find new restaraunts that I've never been to, and ended with me going to a consultation appointment at my salon for dying my hair! (Still debating the latter...) As I talked to one of my close friends, and then my sister about the same thing, I realized that haunting feeling is restlessness. With all the pretty big changes I am making in my life, I'm waiting for them to have some major effect on everything else. Especially after finally deciding what I want to and where I want to go, I'm ready to begin all those things now!

This past year, some one told me the patience she had to have while waiting for their boyfriend (now fiance) to "court" her was one of the hardest things she had ever done. She also claimed it was the most important thing she had ever learned.

I could definitely take a lesson from her at this point.
