Keeping the lid on hope

Argh!

You know when you get some really exciting news...news pregnant with tantalising opportunity (how's that for wanky literary speak!?)...but it's so in the pipeline that things could or couldn't go your way and you don't want to get your hopes up just in case they come crashing down?? But at the same time, you can't help getting excited about what might possibly come your way...

Eek!
