please congratulate me, for yesterday i was officially inducted into "the regulars" of a coffee shop. it went down like this: on my one-hour breaks from my nine-to-five life, i go to a close-by coffee shop and recharge by caffeination and reading. so i pulled up to my favorite parking spot and entered through the front door, and instead of a "what can i get ya'" from the barista, there waiting for me at the register was my triple-shot iced americano (a true testament to working with kids full time) and a "we saw you pull up - we were waiting for you." to this i replied, "am i officially a regular?" and my darling barista answered, "this is your induction." and there are perks to being a regular besides air-conditioned smalltalk and a sweet predictability associated with your entering. today a fourth shot was added to my drink without charge "just because it's me."
since then i've had the "cheers" theme song in my head.

Kat, this whole post made me so proud of you. I feel like my first born child is going to Kindergarten.
congratulations!
Nice! Now, if you can figure out how to read and not get into conversations with the other regulars, please enlighten me.
