I am in love with this month! My favorite roommate from college, Ashley, is probably going to be staying at my apartment on Monday because she's working in Cincy two days in a row and doesn't want to have to make the drive from Columbus two days in a row. Then, on Friday, my best friend from high school gets into town for a whole week+! Most of my close friends have been my friends
literally forever, so I absolutely love getting to see them, since we've all
grown up and drifted our separate ways. Oddly enough, Maggie is my absolute bestest & we've been friends for the least amount of time... although neither of us have been successful in pinning down when exactly we did manage to become friends... we know that we hung out at parties at her house... and that I've "related" at her house more often than I should have (HAHA), but no clue exactly when we became such close friends. Hmm. Actually, maybe Mr. Dustin Marie is my most recent friend... New Year's Eve... 2007? I think? No, it had to have been 2006... oh, hell, I don't know. Sorry, Dustin. I do; however, remember where we met, as I informed you when we passed it on the way to the wedding the other weekend. So my memory isn't complete shit. Thank you again for forcing me to sleep on the floor with no blanket when I was deathly ill that night while you enjoyed the couch. You did offer me your leather coat, but you stole that when you woke up in the morning, leaving me freezing and miserable. You have since redeemed yourself though, so it's okay.

I keep hearing rumors that we might start loaning again soon at work. I cannot wait for that day! I miss actually closing and funding loans.

I cannot wait for my classes for this summer to start. I'm taking Crime & Gender and Crime & the Life Course, both which are the most exciting classes of the whole program in my opinion. I've been leaning more towards wanting to do something involving domestic violence, women criminals, or crimes against children after graduation rather than Homeland Security... I'm just not entirely sure how to go about finding positions available in that category... kind of a drastic change from the financial services industry, insurance and real estate.

My shoulders and the tip of my forehead have blisters from this weekend's sun exposure. Not cute. Mom had me ask Les to pick up some Coppertone or Banana Boat from his company store this month so that I can stop repeatedly resembling a lobster. Too bad he already went for this week and stocked up on tampons, razors, Wet Ones & batteries. PS. If you would please purchase products from Playtex, Energizer, Wet Ones, Coppertone, Banana Boat and Schick it would be much appreciated as the sales of the product directly effect his bonus at the end of each year, which happens to come in December aka the happiest time of the year: my birthday and Christmas. Now we all know that 25 is a very important birthday, it being the quarter century mark and all, so I am expecting a very nice present this year. The year that I didn't ask for anything, my parents bought me a flat screen TV, so I am crossing my fingers that I get something equally awesome. Maybe a bed to go underneath of my mattress? And a dresser. I would like one of those, since oddly enough I never had one growing up (my dad thought that putting boxes in the closet for underwear and socks was good enough -- just another reason why he is a crazy bastard). Please assist me in achieving my present obtaining goal by buying lots of his products.

I have become oddly obsessed with Theory of a Deadman in the last few days and it creeps me out. A lot.
