Nick and Jessica split! I'm so disappointed. I guess it's the romantic in me. I used to love Jessica but I lost a lot of respect for her. And this is the last straw. I really thought they could make it.

This week has been fun. It was nice having time off from school. Josh came home Tuesday night and we spent all day Wednesday hanging out together.

Yesterday was fun but kind of weird. I didn't realize how much I would miss my mom. I thought I'd be happy to have a holiday without fighting - and I was - but it was kind of strange for me. I'm not used to it. Aunt Lu and I spent the day at Aunt Linda and Uncle Bill's house. Aunt Linda's family was there too. The guys were all watching football so Lindsay and I sat and watched chic flicks on DVD all afternoon in her room.

After dinner I went to the Anderson's house for dessert. They had the best pumpkin cheesecake. It also cheered me up a bit to see Josh. He could tell I was missing my mom. He thinks I should go to Florida for Christmas. He thinks I'm missing my mom because I wanted to be here with him. I tried to tell him that I was here for Aunt Lu and my sanity. Obviously I wanted to spend time with him too, but my world doesn't completely revolve around him.

Today I went shopping with Lindsay and Jen. It was so crowded though. I could barely enjoy it and I didn't buy much. Tonight I'm going to a party at Kelly's house. It should be fun.
