I am on pins and needles about these midterms!!!

“La, la, la–anticipation is funny, it makes a cloudy day sunny, makes my tummy all funny, just as yours might be, too….”–haha new words for an old song.

I am just all anticipatational (my word) over  this voting business, so all of us here have decided (because of the time change) to take a look at the news, our time 11pm, and then just go to bed, try to sleep, and watch the results tomorrow.

Anticipation can be a bit unnerving, and there is a great word in Italian, scaramanzia, that basically means superstitious, and so mama is crossing fingers and touching metal (which is what one touches in Italy instead of wood, along with…er…other things that really can’t be mentioned and which may not be available in your neighborhood but since we have papa, they are, haha) and hoping for the best.  Whatever that is…

I can’t stand the suspense and so I’m off to snooze.  Sorry, but I just can’t bear this excitement right now…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey, wake me when it’s OVER!!!
