Hands shaking, nervous twitches, keep looking for the mailman when he isn't due yet. Well, its not over caffeination or hang over, its just kilt jonesing. I've got on order:
An American Heritage Casual from USA Kilts,
A navy blue with red pleat insert kilt from Celtic Warrior,
A khaki casual kilt from Flamingo Kilts,
Snake garters from Celtic Warrior, and
a custom leather job from Oconee Leather Works

I can make it.

Wow, that is a LARGE jones... best of luck holding out on those!

Man Geoff, you, like Miniver Cheevy have reasons!

My eldest Grandson appeared Christmas day with a kilt length of 16oz tartan (my ancient sett), for me, and I am already into the state of Jonesing! I have to save up enough to send it to Barb to make a kilt. Maybe we need a Jonsesing "AA"?

There is no known cure for kilt jonesing. After all your orders are delivered, you may also start to suffer from "kilt jonesing withdrawal" - a state of sadness caused by the realization that the jonesing period is over. Kilt jonesing withdrawal can be avoided by placing another order for kilts and/or accessories before your previous order is received.

Yeah, and the similar jonesing on the jonseing. I want to order, but SWK is closed. The urge, do I order now, or wait and see if anything else neat pops up when the store reopens. Do I order a wool, or a standard and a thrifty. Or something else that isn't even up there yet. What if I order now, and there is a surprise I miss out on because of it.... arrggggg...

Once I get these kilts, I am going to have to wait for a while on any more kilts. The incredible shinking waist project is underway, and I don't want to end up with kilts I need braces with to keep up. I'll have to make do with accessories. I have promised myself a tank when I reach my goal weight. Meanwhile I can dither over what the details of said tank will be. Leatherneck tartan is a given, however.

Now that's a diet plan I might be able to keep! I only want to loose 25lbs, but just can't seem to do it. I always fall victim to depression and eat or the dreaded cheesecake fairy that keeps dropping them off at work <sigh>

Man, again... I feel your pain. I realized I was getting bad when I tipped 420 two years ago. I now am down to 290, my legs and arms are cut and solid, but I can't seem to get rid of my gut!!

I do 100 pushups a night, 150 situps, I hike, and am involved in two different styles of martial arts. I'm actually in really good shape! It's maddening! Ah well.

OK- done hijacking.
