i just realized a lug nut was missing from my front right wheel, and when i went to put another on i realized the old one took some of the bolt with it. how big of a job is it to get that fixed?

depends on the hub but most can have the bolts replaced.
check at autoparts store to see if the bolt(not really a bolt but oh well) can be purchased. if so then...
uninstall the hub, put on a flat surface take a hand held sledge and knock the old one out. put the new one in and reinstall... it was a long time ago but i did this on a ford pickup. this is, I suppose, the old school directions. it may not be possible to do this on a honda, i have never had to try on my integra.
by the way if you are not mechanically inclined maybe you should take it somewhere cuz you have to take the hub off and you may not want to mess with the bearings etc.
It shouldn't cost much to fix at a shop.
