Waiting

Whenever I hear/think of the term "waiting", I think of the scene in While You Were Sleeping, where Sandra Bullock's character is being questioned by her colleague about her relationship with Peter Gallagher ... when the colleague realises Sandra hasn't slept with Peter Gallagher yet ("Don't tell me you haven't slept with him yet?!?"), Sandra's response is .. "We're ..... waiting" and the colleague is like "Waiting?!?" and seems totally aghast at the concept ...

I was thinking about the term "waiting" a lot yesterday as we spend so much time doing it .. Thankfully I was feeling rather patient yesterday, as all the waiting around I was doing (especially in the morning!) could easily have put me in a bad mood :p hmm, I had to wait for my gym class to start in the morning, I had to wait to use the showers, I had to wait for a train (two trains, because the first one was too full), was waiting for people to slowly get on the train even though the doors were about to close, am always waiting for a lift and am usually waiting for the lift to stop at all the stops before it reaches my level, am waiting for Alan to return, am waiting for the biscuit man to come back from Brazil, am waiting for the biscuit man's replacement to come by and deliver biscuits (i'm still waiting for that!), spent lots of time waiting for people to respond to my emails, had to wait for my lunch to heat up, was waiting for my workmate to give out chuppa chupps to our team, was really waiting for the day to end, had to wait for friends, also had to wait for our food to arrive, and am still waiting for my knee to be 110% .. just a lot of waiting!

On my playlist at work at the moment, I have 4 good songs with the term "Waiting" in the title :o)

• Waiting for a Star to Fall - Boy Meets Girl
• Waiting for a Girl Like You - Foreigner
• I Knew You Were Waiting for Me - Aretha Franklin/George Michael
• Right Here Waiting - Richard Marx

Had dinner at the Australian Hotel with JJ, Chewy and Ann last night .. They were going to go somewhere else for drinks, but I had a craving for pizza (been craving it for a whole week even though I know I shouldn't be eating it!) so they gladly changed venues to the Australian .. We had the chicken tandoori, emu and duck pizza .. I liked the duck one the most - the chicken tandoori one wasn't too bad either, but I found the emu one to be really tough/stringy (well the meat was :p) ... but they were all still yum :o)

Have been back at the gym again which is good .. was pain free and really bouncy on Monday but I think I've been pushing it just a little bit too much since then .. did body attack and boxing yesterday (my arms and abs are sore today from boxing :p) and did body attack this morning .. I wanted to go to bikram last night, but my legs were just feeling tired :o/ Knee isn't 100% pain free at the moment, but it's not really that sore either - it started to feel funny at the end of today's and y'day's body attack classes, so I made sure I stretched them well afterwards and they were fine again .. think my hamstring is more sore than my knee :o/ I hate being injured :o/

Okies, that's all from my end for now ... I guess you'll just have to *wait* for the next post ;o)
