I love that this thread was bumped maybe an hour after I changed my signature.
Recent grammar irritation: when people type 'could of' instead of 'could have' or 'could've'. It scares me that people actually think it's OF. aack!

You may be ANXIOUS awaiting your bid on bid day.
You will be EXCITED to see your new sisters.
