Today was a very lazy day. The only productive thing I did during the day was to take stuff to be embroidered in Arlington.
Tonight I hung out with Evan one last time. Our similarities are getting to be quite scary. What did I wear? White BDG pants, black BDG v-neck. What did he wear? Black pants. White BDG v-neck. It’s a problem. I have realized that each time we hang out we are dressed similarly. We just smoked hookah and talked about school and Pokémon and music. And it was nice. He goes back to school tomorrow morning, and I will be heading to Virginia to help Jenn get all moved in.

Day 88 - Mall, Rock Climbing, Jenn
Today was Ashley’s last day visiting. First off we went to the Y to go rock climbing, but there were camps going on. So instead we went to the town center to kill some time before going back. We went by Anthropologie so that she could return some stuff she bought that didn’t fit, and I returned the amazing plaid shirt I bought the other day since it was broken. Very sad. And of course they didn’t have my size so I settled for yet another BDG V-neck. I have a problem. I own almost every color.
We went back to the Y and went rock climbing for a few hours. Ashley is afraid of heights so it was fun trying to get her to push her limits and make it up to the top. She didn’t today, but maybe next time. SWEBOP goes every Friday, so we want to start getting more involved with that. I bruised the bone in my pinky finger the other night at the show when some guy hit me. And it has been uncomfortable even when moving it, but today it was in agony trying to hold on for dear life. Oh well.
After rock climbing I took her to the Loop for lunch, then we went to Peterbrooke so that she could buy some chocolate. We took the long way home so that Ashley could see some of the old houses in Avondale and old Ortega. On the way back Corbett called to go to lunch, but he just followed me home instead and hung out for a few minutes while Ashley packed. Ashley and I headed to the airport, and I dropped her off. I did pretty much nothing else all day. Just relaxed and hung around the house. Went with Jenn to Target and Zaxbys. The End.

Day 87 - Ponte Vedra, Kickbacks, 500 Days of Summer
We went out to Ponte Vedra and spent the day laying out by the pool, enjoying some margaritas. And of course getting sun burned. My face is pretty red, but Ashley has the most amazing sunglasses tan ever. It’s not bad at all, and it should fade by tomorrow, but you can see the line.
We met up with Jenn and took Ashley to Kickbacks. Then we went to see 500 Days of Summer in Orange Park. It was so good. Although it was a direct copy of Jenn’s life, so that was kind of weird.

Day 86 - Fox, Art Market, JMOCA, Cummer, Shai Hulud, SATURDAY
Today was far more eventdul than yesterday, thank god. We woke up and went to get breakfast at the Fox. On the way there we stopped and saw Jenn at Casablanca. I have never been there. She gave us the tour. Then we went to Breakfast, and saw Amber slaving away back in the kitchen. Didn’t get to say hello. From there we went to the Art Market. It keeps getting worse and worse. There is less art and more children’s clothing. It is really disappointing. We did meet this one really nice artist, Jay Negron, who had some amazing charcoals. After we walked around the art market for a bit we went to walk around Five Points. Took Ashley to Edge City, Clothing Warehouse, Anomaly, and Wolfgang. I bought an amazing dress at Wolfgang. We left 5 pts and went to JMOCA. I haven’t been there in a while. There had a huge Rosenquist that was amazing.
This afternoon we also went to the Cummer, and we sat in the garden and painted for over an hour. It was a nice day. We came home, showered, and went to dinner with my mom and Jenn at Timiquana. Then Ashley, Jenn and I went to the Pit to see the Shai Hulud show. Colton was there, of course, completely wasted, of course. Therefore more Colton Words of Wisdom came out of his mouth. He is one of the funniest people I know. At one point during the show we were outside ad we were dancing, ballroom style. I said, “Colton why didn’t you dance with me at my prom?” And he put his hands on his hips and stood in the gayest way possible, then said, “Kate, a lot has changed since your prom. I’m a man now.” It was the funniest thing ever.
Saw Kevin also. And Stamps. And a lot of people I did not care to see, including Justin Jarrell. Ew. During one of the bands I was sitting outside with Colton and Stamps and Ashley, and this girl runs by, and just starts hitting this other girl and pulling her hair. It was like the third fight that night. But, since it was a girl fight, no one broke it up. Kevin ran after then taking pictures. It was hilarious. The whole time they were fighting Colton was jumping around yelling, “It’s Saturday! It’s Saturday!!” Overall it was a hilarious night.

Day 85 - Mall, Ugly Truth
This morning we woke up and my mom had laid out breakfast for us. Cereal and fruit and whatnot. Yummy. Then we got dressed and headed to the town center. Ashley unfortunately has no Anthropologie in Virginia Beach so we spent quite some time there. And Urban. Of course. We met up with my mom, Granny, and Marsha and had dinner at Maggiano’s. Then back to Anthropologie. Of course.
Tonight we saw the movie The Ugly Truth. It was just one of those movies that made me hate my life. But it was really good.

Day 84 - Ashley, Brick, Chamblin's, Pearl
Day 84 - Ashley, Pearl, Chamblins
Today was day one of Ashley being here. I don’t remember what I did this morning, but I picked up Ashley at the airport this afternoon. I took her to lunch at the Brick, because the is the staple of the Ortega lifestyle. From there we walked around Avondale, and I took her to Peterbrooke and Let Them Eat Cake. She was obviously very excited about those. I mean, who cant be excited about a store that sells nothing but stuff covered in chocolate? They even have chocolate covered wine bottles now.
From there we went to Chamblin’s. She was blown away. I ended up getting one more Taoism book, and one on Printmakers. She loved the Architecture section and she bought a book on Gaudi. We came back to my house, saw my dad and Liam before they left for Kentucky, and just hung out for a while.
Tonight we went to the Pearl. Beforehand we were on our usual Joose run, but this time I was ten times sketchier than it normally is. Of course, with Ashley with us. We scared her. We drove around for a bit trying to find Amber around Avondale. We eventually met up with her at Fishweir Park, but we all felt like we were about to be killed.
Then we had a normal evening at the Pearl. Then End.

Day 83 - Lazy day
Today was a horribly lazy day. I woke up at 6:30 this morning, went a got Chickfila, and surprised Jenn at her house for a birthday breakfast. I dont really remember being there, honestly. I never fully woke up for that. I came home and went back to sleep and didn't wake up until 1. Wow, Kate. Wow.
I continued cleaning, but not much got done. Went to dinner at El Rodeo with the Holman/Wilseys. Jenn and I were going to go out for her birthday but she had to work the whole day so she was a sleepy girl. So I have done nothing tonight. Reading the Tao of Pooh and going to sleep.
ASHLEY GETS HERE TOMORROW! SO. EXCITED.
