Waiting Why?
Last night I was waiting for sleep, it didn’t come.
I’m still waiting.
For what?
So many things.
A nap would be good, my cold medicine kicking in… that would be good.
I think we’re all waiting for spring.
I don’t mind waiting, there are so many cool things to do while I wait.
One of my favorite things to do is people watch.
I like to make up stories about people.
I work my puzzles or read.
What do you do when your waiting?
THIS is one of my favorite doors…
It is the restroom door at Yesterdog in Grand Rapids.
I know it’s not perfect, but I bet you can guess why I like it.

I do not like waiting for some things, somethings are best waiting for
I do not know what I do whilst waiting, taking some calm breaths if it important
I love that first pic, gorgeous
I’m a people watcher too. I like to try and figure out why some of them are so wacked out
I love that door–that’s great handiwork. I could relate to not sleeping. I;m so sorry. yes, a nap is in order.
I can’t guess about the door…..? And I am NOT good at waiting. I have “instant gratification syndrome”.
^ I have to reiterate. I am VERY patient when it comes to waiting in line, waiting for green lights, food, doctor appointments, etc. I usually enjoy the quiet time! But when waiting involves “not knowing” — like test results, etc., then I’m impatient.
@temptation__eyes - KIM! She’s a bearded lady!
What beautiful pictures!
@angi1972 - You know what? I saw that as I submitted my last comment. But I thought it would be ridiculous to post three in a row! So it’s too little too late. Story of my life! But at least I got it eventually *sigh*.
I know exactly where that first picture was taken
When I’m waiting…if I’m at home…I hope online and Xanga or Photoshop.
I am waiting for Friday…
I hope you get better soon!!!
Waiting has never been one of my strong points…much too impatient when I was younger…WANT IT NOW!!!!!…lol…I’m much better these days…I usually read, work puzzles, into Sudoku now…people watching can be very interesting…lol…have a great week…Rainy
errrrr….Ang…do you have a beard??? I’ve always wanted to ask….sorry *scurries away*.
Must be my cold medicine kickin’ in…argh
I’m waiting for my husband to return from Iraq- so right now I’m keeping myself busy with lots and lots of tasks in my volunteer jobs! Love that door- its probably one of the most unique doors I’ve ever seen. I need to get outside today with my camera, its beautiful outside today… LOVE the dandelion photos- very cool angle.
if i’m out somewhere most of my time waiting is spent doubting my plans and wondering if i’m in the wrong spot. i hate it.
however, waiting at home i’m fine with. generally there’s a tv or a book involved.
@jerseygirlsrule - I’ll never tell. ;-b
That is one fun door. It could be a bearded lady, OR a restroom for transgenders.
I love the first picture. It is uplifting and inviting…
Great picture. I don’t think I’d go in, though!
When I’m waiting I either read or sit back, close my eyes and listen to my breathing. I can feel everything go calm and it puts me to sleep at night or helps me relax in the day.
I had a hard time sleeping as well. RYC: Stupid rock business, geotech stuff. That’s what the business is for.
Don’t tell anyone I was the model for that bathroom door.
whoa… man in kilt, woman with facial hair- im so confused and i do NOT like to wait for the bathroom, even if i don’t fall under either category…
hmm, waiting.. yea, im not so good at that if its something im really excited about, though i can sit quiet and twirl my hair girlishly with the best of them if i really have to
They say good things come to those who wait. I had to wait for sleep to come last night too!!! That is one thing I do not like to wait for!!!
I love that door, and I can see why you like it too!!!
oh,my
would it be the bearded lady?
Is it because it is a bi-bathroom?… Hmmm?….
dan… *chuckling*
Love the door. That is classic! Hmmmm Waiting is so hard for me. I read, bite my nails, pace, go on the internet or eat! Yeah, I pig out when I’m anxiously waiting….
By the way, the first snow pic is gorgeous!
Cold medicine — there is only one for me: Zicam (the zinc stuff). Get well soon!
LOVE the door. Waiting… I distract myself with email, texting, ipod, etc. Waiting for a flight is the worst though…
well, i oftentimes bring gadgets with me especially if i know that i’ll burn time. a gameboy or a ds creates greeat environments. with all the rpg games out there. music players don’t help. or sometimes, i go check details of everything around me like the way doors are painted. if a place is new or something (everything’s new to me), i go do a tour… except for the ladies’ room, of course.
wow nice pic, I love the blue sky and clouds…..
An uni-sex toilet? That reminds me of Ally McBeal.
I listen to music and stare at other people’s shoes/bags/clothes while I wait and try to figure out what brand those items are. Occassionally I try to imagine what their social lives are like.
Do you take those photographs yourself? They’re absolutely beautiful!
And I love your son’s plan to stay physically active, he sounds like a very smart (and creative) boy
@s_l_v - Thank you! and yes I do. I like you pictures too, and great narration.
omg-that door is fabulous!
waiting….sometimes the best things are anticipated. I like that word better
Ok, be honest now, was that a NORMAL door till you took your Sharpie out?
I tend to think while I’m waiting….and I tend to go to sleep when I think to long….. I am waiting patiently for spring but I try not to think about it much……..great pictures……..
I no it can’t be because of the hair on the face! LOL! have a good week girl!
