Is counting down

I've been counting down for a long time now. 

53 days so far.

Did you ever know that 2 months could feel like forever?  

. . . . and I'm not just being dramatic.  It can. 

2 holidays, 58 days and a 8 weekends

that is a long time

They say 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' 

I kind of don't like that phrase.  

I think that being in someone's presence makes the heart grow fonder

not absence

I think absence makes the heart grow tireder and impatient

(I clearly know that tireder is a word. It just sounds more dramatic -- if I was being dramatic, which I am not).  

Thursday can't come soon enough.  

Long distance is hard, but worth it. . . . . if in fact he doesn't change his mind when he sees me again.  

He assures me he won't.  

I believe him (usually).

It isn't like we haven't talked over the last 53 days.  

I've spent more hours on the phone (with him of course) over the past 53 days than I have ever spent on the phone my entire life.

  (thank goodness we don't pay by the minute for long distance phone calls anymore.  cell phones are genius)

all the same

I'm still a little anxious.   

Maybe absence makes you anxious.  

I'm pretty sure that every picture I try to take of myself with a new haircut says 'anxious' -- I'll start smiling normally when he is here. . . . . and we'll take lots of pictures, which I am sure he will be thrilled about.
