Anticipation

Some have said that when it comes to doing something enjoyable, the best part is the moment JUST BEFORE the act occurs. That's when you're full of anticipation, excited to know that something wonderful is about to happen. Well, I agree in part and disagree in part.

On the one hand, anticipation is nice. Tonight I will fly down to South Carolina to see Amy. I'm practically bouncing around the office! Why is that clock so SLOW??? Is it time to leave yet? I'm packed already! I mean, it's kind of hard to get any work done.

On the other hand, I love the moment when Amy appears at the airport. Last time I flew down there, it was all I could do not to RUN to find her. (I was a little concerned, though, that security would consider this suspicious behavior, so I just walked quickly instead.) That moment of pure joy upon seeing her is such a wonderful rush.

So given my choice, I'll have my cake and eat it too: I'll like both the anticipation AND the moment itself. Now if only I could get rid of that pesky problem of having to leave her at the end of the weekend... Guess I have to wait (with great anticipation) for November to get here. (Hurry up!)

By the way, our parents are meeting each other for the first time this weekend. I don't expect anything out of Meet the Fockers. But it'll be an interesting time, I'm sure. :-) Stay tuned!
