HA!
It's impossible to wait. I did the same thing. I'm still running the stock rom though, but I flashed Google Wallet and an updated radio. I really like the stock rom, it's just missing 3 things:
1) Wallet (already got it)
2) Reboot option from power button (there's a flashable zip for that)
3) Facebook sync (Paul Obriens rom is getting close to having this fully functional)
I'm sure CM9 will have all those things, and then some. His stuff is too much for what I need though, which is why I stick with the stock(ish) builds.
