This is the term that I have been using to describe myself as of late. I'm not quite sure if it is just the fact that I'm starting my Master's Degree (9 hours of graduate courses + 4 hours of an undergrad language course = no sleeping in for 16 weeks...) and still working 40+ hours/week at my job, or whether it is just a recurring theme of my life as I am the chronic volunteer. I love to help people, especially when they are celebrating milestones in their lives...this could be why I went to/participated in over a dozen weddings/wedding showers/baby showers within the span of less than 3 months. Not to say that I didn't enjoy every minute of it, but this is one of the main contributors to my consistently "spreading myself too thin". On the other hand, I do much better when I'm busy. If I don't have enough to juggle, I seem to lose my balance and drop the ball. So, here is to finding my rhythm and keeping a steady pace... :)
I have been reading Jack Kerouac's On the Road and it is certainly not the example of a steady pace, but more of a sparatic pace and sparatic direction to add up to continuous adventure. This is one crazy, fun story full of exciting experiences, all sorts of people, and more hitchhiking than I've ever dreamed of. Funny how traveling used to be about the trip and now it is just about "making good time". There is definitely something to be said for taking in the scenic routes rather than flying down the road at 80 mph. Ahhhh, the good old days...
