ok so the 4th was ok. it wasnt the best ever, but it was a monday and people had to work and stuff so we stopped early. the food was good and the fireworks were fun too lol. so i thought about it- and this summer has been SUPER boring. i know the second half is always better, but i mean OMG i have nothing to do lol. the highlight so far was like going to the mall ((which used to be just a thing for me now its like "that GOD im leaving the house)) and the baseball game i went to with my dad. the upside...i will be able to leave the house whenever the hell i want to in FIFTEEN DAYS. its the freaking most exciting thing ever...definatly. AND i found out that we are going to the beach ((and not when katie is gonna be at the beach which means she can come lol))...and im almost positive i get to drive down there myself =) that will be like august 15th...but i REALLY just want to go to the beach nooooowwww ugh. right now...all i really NEED to care about is losing some weight and getting in shape lol BeFoRe august 15th...which is like ONE month so its like impossible but i figure if i start a very strict diet and like running every day i could totally drop 20 pounds in one month...and that would make me happy. i just want to do it healthy though like diet and excersize...and i dont want to lose a TON in a short period of time cuz i dont want to look like shit--but 20 pounds this month is totally just for a good cause lol because im gonna be living in my bathing suit that whole week. i got a cute bathing suit though lol. i also need to save money so i can shop. that is gonna be spiffy. i want like a whole new wardrobe before school starts next year lol. so yeah...hopefully i will need one =) so yeah...im gonna start eating healthy and excercizing like...monday i guess and if i lose any weight the first week we will all have a little party lol
