I am so excited I can’t wait!!!! I will NOT be sleeping tonight. If I do it will be like and hour since I fall asleep at 2 or 3 any way and it all starts here at 4AM I am Eastern time. I have my Tea and Scones ready and a jaunty hat. My husband of course thinks I am insane, perhaps he is right. But I am like a child on Christmas.

I’ll be up even though I might regret it at work on Friday! My Mom was born and raised in London so this is quite special for us. I actually still have family (aunts, uncles and cousins) over in England. So exciting. My family really likes Kate Middleton. I think she is going to be a wondeful princess : )

Unless I am in labor, I will be sleeping through the whole thing. I love all the pomp and circumstance and the royals and everything, but Mama needs her sleep :)

I’m up. Not because of the Royal Wedding, but because I have my fourth and final, final at 10 am. Oy.

I’ll probably be watching, but you know, only because I’ll likely subcome to twier pressure (twitter pressure).
