If it makes you feel any better, I have a "sticky" on my desktop that currently says "85 days till Brian comes to China," and I update it every day. So you are not alone :) I think it's only natural to look forward to exciting things, like, you know, going on a cruise and going to Europe and finally moving back to be near your family! Wow, you're going to have a hell of a year in 2010! Enjoy the cruise!! Get lots of sun and whatever you do, don't take your laptop!! .-= Brittany´s last blog ..My First (and Last) Mass =-.

I have a name for this: “Tying a Knot in the Rope”. I have to have a knot tied in the rope to pull myself forward (trip to Hawaii…new job…etc.) all the time. I get a little nervous if I don’t have at least two knots ahead at all times. I think its normal to want to look ahead with excitement and doesn’t negate the enjoyment of now. I actually think the knots in the rope help me glide over the rough spots of life. The anticipation of things – Christmas morning, vacation, wedding, etc. is a huge part of the enjoyment of the overall experience. We all need to be a lot gentler with ourselves for being human!

Although I think we should all strive to live in the now, I also think some personalities crave the planning and what lays ahead of them. I still think that once you start having babies, you will start enjoying the "now" more because each day you will find something that excites you, something that couldn't be planned for. .-= Cathy´s last blog ..Hanging On to My Vision =-.

I just think some people are like that. :) I know I am. Whenever I have something coming up, I'm like "come on days, pass until I get to X". Which is not good, because then I don't enjoy the present. You let me know when you figure out how to stop that. ;) .-= Mrs. Money´s last blog ..How Much Money are we Spending? =-.
