Big day today.  Huge.  In fact, I’m a little over the moon about it – half excited and half “omg did I really just do that?!”  If you follow me on twitter, you already know what happened.  However… I don’t want to talk about it on the blog just yet.  I’m worried that doing so may jinx it… in fact, I’m worried that tweeting about it may have jinxed it.

When I was in high school, my parents told me they were going to get me a car.  Obviously this was a big deal and I was super excited.  I was told the details about the car and so the next day I went to school and excitedly told my friends what kind of car I was going to get – silver with a CD changer, I can’t remember what else it had but it was going to be nice.  Then when I got home from school, my parents told me they decided not to go with that car anymore.  What a letdown, to go to school the next day and say that no, I didn’t have a car yet and I didn’t know what kind of car I *was* going to get.  Of course I did eventually get a car and while it wasn’t as fantastic as the car I thought I was going to get, it was a great little car and I loved it.  But still.  The memory stuck with me.

So ever since then, I’ve been reluctant to get excited about big things – I get paranoid and superstitious instead.   Is anyone else like that?   Early this year, in March, I went to Australia and I knew about it pretty early into the year, but I refused to write it down in my planner until it was a week or two away – I felt that if I wrote it down, it could be changed.  Same with my trip to Oregon in August – it was a big deal for me and I was so excited about it that I worried it wouldn’t happen.

Therefore… I’m going to wait a bit before discussing my big news.  I want to wait for a confirmation email or a shipping number or something.   But in the meantime, you can be excited for me.  And nervous with me.  And maybe cross your fingers or something while we wait?  I have a feeling this is going to be a long wait…
