Back on track.

Tonight was a great night. The day overall wasn't really that bad, but tonight was great.

This morning, I stayed at school an extra two hours to help Ms. Watts and get the last of my NHS service hours. After I turned those in and turned in my work for Mrs. Burroughs, I left and went home to grab some stuff to take to my grandma's house. But when I got home, my dad wanted me to get him some lunch. (Yeah, he stayed home from work today because his back is giving him major issues). So I went to Athas in Powdersville and grabbed him a cheeseburger plate. Then, I went to Grandma's. I bought her a flower and a thank-you card for letting me borrow her car. She really enjoyed the flower. So I spent a little while at her house, just talking and watching tv, and then I had to leave to go to a doctor's appointment. But on my way to the doctor's office, I decided to go ahead and get gas since it's a few cents cheaper near Grandma's house. Well, that was certainly quite the experience. Ok, first of all, I was a little dressed up today. I was just wearing a white dress with a little blue sweater over it and some little white heels. But apparently, a girl in a dress is a rare thing at the gas station I went to. As soon as I pulled up and got out of my car, some guy came up and asked me was I married. Um.....I told him, "No, but I do have a boyfriend." And he was just like, "Well can I give you my phone number?" and he gave me a freakin' card with his name and phone number on it! I was just thinking, Ok could this get any creepier? And then, he offered to pump my gas for me so I wouldn't get dirty since I was all dressed up. I was just like, "Oh that's ok I've got it." And he told me like three times that I looked really nice. And the whole time, I was just thinking, Go away you creep. And then, I was walking into the store at the gas station (since today of all days, the debit card slot outside at the pump wasn't working), and some weird trashy looking chick was walking out and she was just like, "Ooh look at them pretty legs..." Um....lesbian, much? I mean, I don't mind compliments, and I'm cool with people who go the other way, but I've never had a girl check me out before. Needless to say, I was a little weirded out. So I got out of that gas station as quickly as I could.

Anyway, my doctor's appointment went well (I lost eight pounds in the last month), and after I was done, I drove over to Naia's to see her and John. We hung out for a little bit, and then John and I decided to go to his house so he could change jeans, and then we went to K-Mart to get the rest of the Twilight series for Naia. After that, we went to my house and waited for my mom to get home. But we waited until after 6:00 because she went by the pharmacy on her way home from work and didn't bother to tell anybody. I was actually getting really worried about her because I never heard from her and she usually gets home around 5:15 every day. But she was fine, luckily. Anyway, after my mom got home, John and I went to Golden Corral for supper. It was really good. John had never eaten there before, but I think he liked it. I certainly hope so. And after dinner, we went to Tropical Tan so I could get one last tanning session in before the weekend, and then we went to K-Mart again.

I had a great time at Golden Corral tonight. I was really relaxed, and John seemed to be in a pretty good mood, too. We laughed a lot, and then after we were finished eating he gave me a foot massage. That was awesome. And he waited on me while I was in the tanning bed. That just makes me happy - that he's willing to sit there and wait for me like that. He just makes me feel good - all over, I mean. Like tonight. I was just so happy tonight. Being with him and laughing and eating some good, hot comfort food - I felt good for the first time in over a month. I actually felt relaxed and happy. It seemed like everything was just perfect tonight - finally, like everything's going to be ok. And to be honest, I'm not quite sure why I felt like that. But I'm not complaining. I haven't exactly been myself since I had that wreck back in February, and then Priscilla and Lydia's accident just got the absolute worst of me. After all that, it's like everything was just shifted out of place. But now I feel like everything's falling back into place. And to think, all it took was one night with an amazing boyfriend - one night of not even really doing anything.

Anyway, I get my wisdom teeth taken out tomorrow morning at 9:00. I'm dreading it, but I'm looking forward to all the sleep I'll be catching up on. The only real bummer is the fact that I probably won't see John again until Mo.nday. Unless my mom decides to be generous and let him come see me Sunday. I hope so, 'cause it'll certainly be nice to see his face while I'm not feeling great. Granted, I'll probably look like a chipmunk or something, but hopefully he won't mind too much.

Anyway, I'm gonna call it a night. I need to straighten my hair before I go to bed, and I'm still talking to John on AIM. Wish me luck tomorrow!

Goodnight.
