190!! *squee!*

Kate: I will touch anyone's coochie if they pay me $150!

You know something, it's shameful how long I've gone without updating my blogger. Shameful I say, and I have no good excuse.

So let me just get this out of the way real quick: 190! 190!! 190!!! OMG!!! THE LAST MILESTONE BEFORE MY RISE TO COMPLETE AWESOMENESS!! Dare I get excited? Dare I feel confident? I would--but that just wouldn't be me. I promised myself I wouldn't give in until it got there, and if I've made it this far I can make it the rest of the way. I will admit here that I think about it constantly. Constantly. How can I not? And each time that number jumps I lose slight bladder control.

I talked to Beth today for a loooooooong time. So long in fact that my battery completely died on my phone and I didn't even get to say goodbye. :( I miss her and Matt so much. She's been such an awesome friend to me for as long as I can remember, and I cherish relationships like that so much. I also got to speak with my Daddy today, as this day marks 26 years of marriage between he and my Mom. I miss him a lot too. I think I told him so half a dozen times. I miss his stupid jokes, and his razor on my bathroom counter. I love living here in Kalamazoo with Mike, but sometimes I do miss my home.

Yesterday I had lunch with Shruti at Coffee Works and I think I broke every single rule they had. I sat in the "laptop users only" section, I brought in food from Wendy's, and I didn't purchase anything off the Coffee Works menu. I didn't just bend the rules--I broke them the heck off.

I'm very excited for my birthday. The weekend before Kate, Dave, Mike and I are all going up north to Mike's cabin to ring in the 4th of July in style. I'm so excited. Good friends, no homework, a sandy beach, and Mike. I couldn't ask for a better end to this dreadful semester. And on Wednesday night (my birthday) South Haven is shooting off fireworks, so I'm thinking that's where I'll be. :D

I'm on the verge here. I can feel it. Things are about to change and I feel like I'm caught in the most exhilarating whirlwind ever. I can't wait to let it all out. I can't wait. But I won't until it moves five more.
