carnival ride line...

do you remember the torturous wait for your favorite ride at the carnival? i certainly remember some of my most painful waits. i think most of them occurred while waiting for XLR8 at Astroworld. XLR8 was one of those rides that certainly wasn't boring but it wasn't too scary either - so just about everyone loved it! it was the fun ride!

i distinctly remember feeling as if i was never going to get to the front of the line, that i'd have a heat stroke before planting my bottom in that hang-your-legs-off-the-crazy-chair ride? and then suddenly, i'd find myself in the short line to my favorite seat! and even before it was my turn, my stomach was already doing somersaults! do you remember having these kinds of feelings?

well, that's how i feel right now! i am the person in the short line, not yet at the front, but close enough to see the excitement on the faces of the people who'd be next, and close enough to feel the adrenaline myself!

i just saw on the internet that at least one expedited referral went out for someone with a lid (log in date) 4.17.07!

a quick reminder: our lid is 6.20.07. could it be that in the next 4 or 5 months we could be the ones with a referral in our hands, riding the wave of joy?

butterflies in my stomach! oh, what a perfect analogy! :)
