Swallow Falls

Today my roommates, Star and Eric from the other side of our duplex, Star's mother and little brother, her mother's boyfriend, and Jenna from 2 doors down (she's Sean's, also from the other side of our duplex, girlfriend) went to Swallow Falls near Deep Creek. Whew, that's a lot of explaining for one group! I climbed all over the rocks, swam a little (more like waded in the 2 foot water), and lay in the waterfall. After we played for a while, we went to this place called Smiley's. It's like a backwoods crap version of Chuck E. Cheese, but with disgusting pizzas that cost twice as much as anywhere else. I played a ton of skeeball and tried the batting cages. I am not a baseball player. The ball was pitched so that a 6-year old could knock it out of the park, but I still couldn't quite get enough force behind it. Good thing I have a sense of humor. I just shook my booty everywhere and looked as ridiculous as possible to try to make the people behind me laugh a little.

Warren visited for a few minutes today, and it was positively delightful. I miss him sooooo much! Graduation sucks if I'm not the one doing it! He said I looked really happy and that he was proud of me. He's such a sugar dumplin'. He's coming back up for Homecoming, which is in just a couple of weeks, and said we'd make a date.

HA! For anyone who heard the Tom story (Andrew's friend he tried to set me up with): he wants to meet me again. Is this man a glutton for punishment? My loud and angry "how do you sleep at night?!" wasn't enough to scare him off? So weird... But yeah, he wants to meet again, and I don't think it's wise. He can't explain the ethics of his job to me, and I can't ever waste my time with someone who has flexible ethics because the paycheck pacifies those icky "I'm a bad person" feelings. Yuck.

I am officially on a diet. Laura and I are working at it together, and we're going to lose 25 pounds by December 15. I have no clue why December 15, but she chose the date, haha. No more sweets, no more excessive alcohol, and no more cream-based soups (which is my big calorie killer). We are going to be walking nearly every night (Sundays off!), and hopefully I'll get my chubby little behind back in shape! When Ivan and I broke up, I sort of gave myself a strict therapy regimen of Chardonnay and Totino's frozen pizzas (Jacquie: Thanks for constantly weighing 110 pounds and letting me gain it all, despite alllllways splitting the bottles and pizzas with me! You're the best! Ugh...) So, hopefully I can get back to a normal size...or at least a pre-breakup size!

My sorority, the great and wonderful Kappa Delta, got 10 new girls this fall! Word on the street is, I might have a new Triplet and/or a new Niece! That's exciting! Our family, which Lindsey (my Big) and I once thought was just we two, is now growing so quickly! I love Katie (my Twin), and I can't wait for our family to add even more amazing KD ladies!

Ok, that's all for now. Mom called me today and said she read the blog, so it's giving me hope that at least someone is still reading.

Love you all!
