When was the last time you absolutely couldn't STAND the wait for something --

[Bertha Venation]

a trip, or a ball game, or your kid's recital, or your wedding . . . ?

In two days I'll be in Hollywood Beach, Florida, beginning my 50th birthday celebration-vacation. I CAN'T STAND IT! The wait is excruciating.

When was the last time you felt this way, and what were you waiting for?

1. The last time?

Oh my, I'm sure it was as recent as yesterday, either at a red light or in a line somewhere.

Have fun! It will come, eventually.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Ah, my dear Bertha...

You know, I can't remember the last time...

One thing about getting older: you do realize that eventually, all things arrive. In their own sweet time...

I have learned patience.

I know you will have a wonderful trip!

3. At a line to a buffett

I haven't eaten anything since lunch the day before...
I was feeling weak with hunger. It was one of those days that I would have gleefully jump and bite a horse.

[Sweet Freedom]

4. Today!

I'm waiting to find out if my daughter passed the first hurdle for a magnet school.

Right now, I am a crazy person.

Happy birthday!

5. Happy Birthday!

It is always lovely to see someone in happy anticipation of an event.

[Flaxbee]

6. Hmm. I don't remember, honestly.

But the feeling is fun, especially if it's in anticipation of something wonderful.

I hope you have the best time in the world, Bertha!

And Happy Valentine's Day!
