today i went shopping. yes. i did so well. i also bought a book. the perks of being a wallflower by stephen chbosky. i've been reading it nonstop since i got home. i never fully decide if i like a book or not until i'm past halfway through it. i think it always takes a little while to delve into a good story and set up something worthwhile...so i guess that's my reasoning behind that. overall, today was simply awesome. with the huge exception of my grandmother being sick. something hit her hard today and she looks awful. we're taking her to the doctor tomorrow so hopefully everything is ok. she's too precious to be so sick. i seriously love her more than anything. i think i may make this friends only soon. the only problem with that is that i hardly have friends on here. i like the opinions and input of lots of people so maybe i'll have to build up the friends list then make such an important decision. ha. who's getting in shape? i am. i've been working out the past few weeks and i feel awesome. it shows and i'm getting toned and ready for summer. i can't wait to go to the beach :). my mom is obsessed with antiques, so while bethany and i were shopping today, she went to the new antique store in beckley. she said she would be gone 30 minutes tops, but of course she was there for close to an hour. we felt so gay just walking around after shopping, so we ended up sitting on the benches in the middle of the mall waiting for mom. of course we were harassed by the chick-fil-a cow again. the sad part is that the bench we were on isn't even that close to chick-fil-a. i really wanna know who's underneath the big cow costume. he (or she, eww) never fails to come wave at us and try to give us a hug. it scares me so bad. i'm way too sleepy to be writing on here and i'm getting frustrated. i have written comments to beth and sarah but when i read over them they were so stupid and didn't really make sense...OR they were too long and it cut me off. i'll have to reword them sometime tomorrow. so beth and sarah (if you read this) i'll be leaving you some comments tomorrow :) goodnight ----------------- i finished the book earlier today. i was kindof surprised at how much i enjoyed reading it and how much i have missed reading in general. anyway. it was good. it was like a dawson's creek or felicity episode that's so good and memorable because of the few awesome quotes in it. the whole book wasn't amazing, but the "episode" parts really left a mark on me, so i would recommend it...especially if you like the catcher in the rye. that's one of my favorites :).
