Hand me that bottle of nervous energy
Remember playing "Tag" and that tingling feeling you used to get in the pit of your stomach as "It?" Everyone is running around, chanting, "You can't catch me, you can't catch me!" You know you can... but there's just so many of them... and they're all the same distance away... and you're body is jerking from side to side because you're mind cannot make up who to run after first... and you're so overwhelmed with the anticipation, the excitement. You want to tag them all now!
You're having fun, but not moving fast enough, for you.
Similar to tag, I’m "It" staring at this heaping pile of to-do's, frantically trying to determine what to "tag" next. My stomach tingles because I only have two and a half weeks to tag it all. Two and a half weeks left for (insert a bunch of present participles here).
Or it could be that we've switched to Dunkin Donuts coffee and that stuff is like rocket fuel. One cup later and I'm all wannabe Sonic the Hedgehog on everyone.
I bet that Sonic is good at tag.

That is a really good analogy that I am going to steal very soon.

Can't wait to get you out here. Puppy will be very excited too and I won't have a latch-key dog for a few weeks at least :)

N: thanks! i enjoy making analogies.
M: (little does M & G know that they are about to have a real "Dupree" on their hands :))
P: we drank Fingerlakes coffee roasters. Not sure why we switched, especially since one of the owners of FLCR is our next door neighbor... but yeah, LOVE the DD (but I also love the FLCR too).
