dispatch - the general

first of all, i heard that song on the radio today and i think i might've even scared jeff with how obsessive i was over it. it's beautiful. i don't even know where i heard it, or how i know it, but i heard it and flipped out and have been singing it all day since.
so this morning i ran around the gym for 10 minutes all by myself. i felt like such a retard at first, but then i got over my embarassment and hammed it up. i would've scared people, if they'd been around to see me. i was grinning like a fool and laughing and jumping around finding all the spots on the gym floor that creaked when you stepped on them.
went through the motions of school as usual. tuey was at school today! she's in decatur now! yippee!!! brandon got a job at regal, and we played hackey sack all during lunch.
after school! entertainment big time! i got to be a soccer mom and drove liz, jeff, and brandon to brandon's house (got brownies while we were there). after that liz changed and we met donovan at goodwill, went shopping! got lotsa neat-o stuff for halloween and normal use.
came home and jeff and i walked allll over the ridge in the rain, it was wonderful. we both got soaked and laughed and goofed around and had a great time getting all wet. it was absolutely wonderful, though i have to admit i missed ryan like mad. i almost even felt guilty for breaking our tradition, but it was insanely fun and ryan's okay with it, so it's all good.
we came home and dried our clothes and watched tv waiting for my mom to get home. he actually got in trouble for not being home, and i feel bad about that, but.. well, it was fun, and i'm glad i got to spend the day with him.
i ate dinner with my mom at the clubhouse grill, and i have to say, i feel tons better now. my mom's wonderful, and it was even better for the two of us to just sit and eat our salads (not those crappy wimpy kinds. hers was taco, lots of ground meat and sour cream and stuff. mine was chicken and mushroom and bacon bits over lettuce and i am stuffed!). we talked about everything we could think of, from body fat to the whole emotional mess i went through last year to how i was an 'accident'. it was great! i'm really tired though, but fortunately my mom says it's fine to skip first period tomorrow and just go into school around 8:15 for the 'field trip'.
