Thanks. It does feel good. I'm still itching to app though. 
In honor of my 100th post 
, I am officially getting back into the garden. I didn't go on crazy "app spree's" but, applying for two cards at a time feels like one to me. I applied for several cards last July, another in November, and two more this month. Now I'm ready to tend these, increase my AAoA, and watch my credit score increase as well. It will be interesting to see what my credit score is after these most recent inquiries. Luckily I was approved for both cards I took HP's for, so none were "wasted". I remember the good feeling of having been in the garden for a while and watching as my score began increasing month to month. I'm ready for that again now.
I definitely want and need to join the garden club because once I start applying and get approved it's like I can't stop. I just applied earlier this morning, but I'm done now and I hope to remain done for at 6 months hopefully a year though. I know I will be calling on you all for help often!!
