Pretty bad when you start jonesing over just the knowledge that there will be some new tartans added to the sale list, but can't wait for the new ones to be announced. Is that some kind of "pre-jones"? "Curiosity jones"? "Anticipation jones"? "Expectation jones"? Just what do you call that?

Forrester, I was thinking about what this would be called, and I kept coming around to pre-pre-jones.
Pre-pre-jones would be when you know something new may be offered, but don't know when. This causes visiting the web site a minimum of once per day. You may notice some trembling in your fingers as you type in the URL or click on the bookmark. Sweating frequently develops in the palms as you scroll up and down the pages looking for whats new.
Next comes Pre-jones. The new items have been added, but you haven't placed an order. Then the all too familiar jonesing - face pressed against the window waiting for the postman, or camping out underneath the mailbox.

I feel your pain. . . . my deaf-aids (hearing aids) are dying. A new set will be about $4000, and not covered by insurance. . . no more kilt stuff until I get them paid for. . . . what kind of "jonesing" is that?

At least you won't have to hear the gnashing oof your own teeth, the scratching of your own finger and toenails against the floor as you dig with what seems like an indefatiguable energy into the hardwood as you cannot sit still and just wait---have to move, have to do something to keep me busy or my teeth will be ground down flat like a cow's and fingers and toes bloody stumps from the constant gnashing, scratching and scraping.
At least you can enjoy the peace of not having to listen to all the blood and gore on the daily news. Kind of the "No news is good news" phenomenon, at least for a while.
No really, best of luck with getting the aids replaces as soon as possible. As a former musician and avid musiclover I could not go through a day without my hearing. Music, let alone the squeals and coos of my young son each morning and night.

I have SO...so hard resisted this. MUST keep the eye on the prize:
The Gray Stewart...material in my pile right now.
The Ancient MacNaughton...the Tank-To-Be, also in my material pile right now.
The box-pleat Hall tartan...material to be ordered *very* shortly.
...and the HUGE treat I'm planning for myself later this spring....
