Waiting...it's not my finest character trait. Sometimes I can wait patiently, even quietly, but more times than not I might appear to be calmly waiting on the outside but, oh my goodness, on the inside I'm chomping at the bit ~ I just can't wait!!

Getaway... Island Batik style... Oh, my thoughts just naturally turn to a tropical vacation! I can't help it!
