I babysat Liam all day again today. Awesome.... We met up with Ian and Brannon at the Loop for lunch. I haven't seen them in a long time, especially Brannon. Ever since she left for school in England she has rarely been home. That was nice to catch up with them and spend time together like we used to.
Liam and I hung out this afternoon, and we did a lot of cleaning. After everything I did today my room looks so different. I took down all of the Happening stuff I had on my walls, and everything on the back of my door. My room still looks like it belongs to a gender confused 10 year old, but I am working on that.
This evening my mom, Liam and I went over to Christy Milby's house for dinner. I have barely seen her since she and Brian moved from Churchwell years and years ago. Now she has teo adorable children. Skylar is 5 I suppose, and Hayden is about 3. Hayden is one of the most adorable children I have ever encountered. Along with Mary, I am going to steal them. He helped me make waffles, and I tried to teach him how to juggle. We had a delicious dinner of homemade waffles, bacon, and fruit. That is my third night in a row having breakfast for dinner. I am alright with this.
Tonight I went with Emma to the Loop and just sat with her while she ate. Then we came back to my house and sat around. Well, she sat around and I kept cleaning. My room is crazy different....

Day 74 - Emma, Liam, Corbett, Bayside, Mikey
Today was a busy day, although it didn't feel like it. I woke this morning and worked on cleaning my room for a while, then Emma came and took Liam and I to lunch at Al's. Although when we were walking into Al's, Liam said, "I wonder if Mommy is here yet?" Then I had to tell him that Mommy wasn't meeting us up there, which I never said in the first place, and he lost it. Of course. 9 years old and cried like crazy because Mommy wasnt going to come have lunch with us. It was embarrassing. But Emma made it better because she said she would go across the street to Smoothie King and make him a free smoothie after lunch. That worked.
After lunch I came home, took a shower, and waited for my mom to come back from work. When she got back I drove out to the beach to see the acoustic Bayside show outside at Aqua East. I have never really listened to Bayside, but Corbett was pestering me to go, so I did. It was beautiful weather, and just a bit rainy. There were a lot of people there, and it was a good show. I saw Kevin and a bunch of other people. I was glad I went, even though I wasn't thrilled originally.
I went from Aqua East to Fugi Sushi, and pretty much just sat there for almost two hours with my mom, Liam, Mrs. Haramis and a bunch of other people I really didn't know, all the while starving to death. Then finally it was time for my dinner. I went and picked up Mikey and we went to Dennys. Seriously, I have had Dennys 2 days in a row. I am going to drop dead. Never eating there again. We sat across from the largest woman I have ever seen, and not only did she look like a while, but she was making whale sound effects. It was hilarious.
And now I am home and in bed. Tomorrow I am babysitting Liam again, going to the pool and lunch with Ian. Hoorah.

Day 73 - Trickery, Rob, Kevin
I woke up this morning to trickery. My phone rang, waking me up, and I saw it was my dad. "Come over we are making chocolate fondue!" Alright, how am I supposed to pass that one up? I scurried on over there, and then as I am pulling in I see it: Kathleen's car in the driveway. So I was tricked into spending the morning with her. Great.
Rob and I went to the Loop for lunch. Then he got a ca rwash. That's pretty much all we do anymore. It's getting pretty pathetic. We need to actually do something soon.
Tonight I finally saw Harry Potter. Kevin took me to see that, and it was really good. I am sick of everyone saying it was really bad because it didn't follow the book. But really, if he movies were going to follow the books, the movies would be 10 hours long. I really liked it. Afterwards, we went to Dennys and I had delicious french toast. Then we drove out to the beach to walk on the beach for a while. I have never really hung out with Kevin, but it was a lot of fun, and really nice. He is a sweet guy and really easy to talk to. As we were walking, we kept seeing huge black blobs running across the sand, but we couldn't tell what they were. A bit later, we passed a couple walking in the opposite direction, chasing one of the blobs and taking pictures. They were armadillos. WHY were there armadillos at the beach? and in the water? It was crazy. We walked from the plaza, down under neath the pier and well past the pier. I think we walked for about two hours. Then when we were walking back, we lost the car. Of course neither of us payed attention to which street we parked on, so we walked for what felt like another hour before we found his car again. Tonight was a very good adventure.

Day 72 - Ponte Vedra, Corbett, Emma's Birthday
This morning was glorious. Since Granny is feeling better, she treated me, my mom, Marsha, Roise, and Petal to a spa day at Ponte Vedra. Everyone else got manicures and pedicure, but I got a facial since I hate getting my nails done. The spa was gorgeous. I haven't been there since they built the new one. We had a yummy champagne lunch, then everyone went to get their nails done, and I went off for my facial. It was amazing. I haven't gotten a facial in years, and it was amazing. Afterwards I had to wait an hour for everyone else to be done, so I just lounged about the spa, drinking tea and playing Tradewinds.
I came home and met Corbett for dinner at Chickfila. We witnessed the most pathetic date ever while we were there. Two Chickfila employees, sitting in the back corner booth on the same side, all snuggled up together. Seriously? That would be the worst. Grim.
Afterwards we came back to my house and YouTubed and whatnot. Then we called Emma, since it's her birthday, and we hung out with her for a while. We all went to the Casbah where I saw more people I havent seen in years, including AJ Andruszkiewicz. After all these years, I still remember how to spell his last name, and for that I am proud. The whole time we were at the Casbah, Corbett and I were texting back and forth, laughing at every one who was there. Seriously, it was like a Virginia Dell reunion. Emma and I were there, then we saw Justina and Kenny. It was weird.

Day 71 - St. Augustine
This morning I woke up far too early after going to the Pearl, and my mom and Liam and I went to St. Augustine. We went to Ripley's first, but I went there last summer. Corbett said it best: "Yeah that's a place you can only handle once a decade." I agree. I hate it there, especially since once you walk in, and you go to read the very first placard, there are so many typos. It frustrates me. Thank god Liam can be a little wuss sometimes, since we only made it half way through Ripley's when he got spooked and we had to just walk through the rest of it. Score.
From there we went to the Lightner museum. At first I thought it would be a fun place to bring Ashley when she comes down to visit, but I don't thank I am going to take her there, since that involves me having to go back. It was terribly boring. From there we had lunch at the Columbia, and got some delicious Kilwins sorbet. We tried to get over to the lighthouse before it closed, but by the time we got there the weather was too bad and they had shut it down. So no lighthouse today.
I got home and took another terrible nap, then Jenn and I went to get dinner. Of course our first choice was Kickbacks, but it was 10:00 on a Friday night and it was ridiculous. When we walked in we saw Rob and Clay, but didn't talk to them and tried to find a table. No such luck. So we ended up at Sonic, listening to the Grease Soundtrack, and me wearing my Mitchell Davis glasses. Seriously, I cannot take them off. Especially in public. I look so stupid, but that's the best part. Jenn leaves tomorrow for Colorado. Bestfriendless until the first. Ugh.

Day 70 - Babysit, Pearl
Today was a lazy, but very good day. I woke up around noon and just meandered about the house. I rented Breakfast Club a while back and I just got around to watching it this morning. Then I worked on the pile of terrible movies I bought last week. So pretty much all day I cleaned, babysat Liam, and watched Breakfast Club, Perfect Score, and My Boss’s Daughter.
And, being a Thursday, Jenn and I went to the Pearl. We met up with Josh who bought us Joose, but the AP was out of Red, so he got me orange. Honestly, the orange tasted like the smell of our laundry room the time Liam played outside in the rain with shoes and socks on, then the socks mildewed at the bottom of the laundry hamper without anyone noticing. I was gagging trying to drink it. I have never noticed before, but apparently Joose is an energy drink, so technically I shouldn’t be drinking it because of my heart. And Josh knows this so each time he gets it for me he gives me a little talk about being careful. “Ok thanks Dad.”
Jenn and I have hilarious arguments that emphasize how reckless we are. “I thought you were going to open it for me!” “We are at a red light do it yourself!!”
When we got to the Pearl we just drove around for a bit, and we found a building on fire, and that was exciting. Although immediately afterwards both of us wanted barbeque… Went inside the Pearl, and the first person I saw was Jason Wagner. Awesome. We just stopped talking a few months ago and that was kind of awkward. Right away we went out back and Josh came up to us holding a PBR. Except Josh is 19, with big black X’s on his hands. We were in the middle of telling him to put it down, when he got kicked out. Bye, Josh. There were so many random people at the Pearl tonight. I saw Andrew Harper, who I haven’t seen in a long time. And Kevin. “Oh my god Kate! I haven’t seen you in like 6 years! Are you single?!” Oh my. Haha.
Otherwise it was a very fun, but uneventful night.

Day 69 - Beach, Naps, Kickbacks, Steamworks
This morning I woke up quite early, compared to my horrendous sleep schedule lately. Evan picked me up and we headed to the beach. Yet again, it was a very relaxing morning. It felt super empty though. It was a morning of just floating around and talking about music. Although I was hit by a surprise wave and the sunglasses that wear daily were stolen off my face by the ocean. I was very sad. At one point later on we were just laying on the sand and talking. There was a lull in conversation and I looked over and his GameBoy had appeared out of no where, and he was playing Pokemon. That, right there, is why we are friends.
We had lunch at Ponte Vedra, then I headed home and took the longest nap. It was one of those crap naps that when you wake up you are burning up and sweaty and gross. Anyways, I woke up and started to watch Breakfast Club, but I ended up going to Kickbacks with Jenn. Then to Starbucks/Steamworks with Amber. For some reason, tonight was one of those nights where everything hilarious that could be said was said. Yet it could never be understood by anyone else as to why it was so funny.
Walking past Al’s: Me – “I hate walking past the windows at Al’s when there are people sitting here.”
Jenn – “I like it.”
Amber – “I think it’s so-so.”
Then I think the flannel shirt I was wearing tonight impaired my speech. I was talking like a redneck accidentally, then my completely sober speech was slurring so badly I sounded black, even using words such as “fiddy” instead of “fifty.”
