Day 77 - Town Center, Emma

Today was pretty uneventful. Urban Outfitters was having a stock up sale so of course I went and spent too much money. Oh well. At least my collection of manly V-necks has grown. My mom and Liam and I had lunch at Maggiano's, then just a few hours later I went to Okinawa with Emma. I haven't been there in years, and it was a nice treat. We went to Publix, messed up all of the displays for Mikey to fix, then we went to the Town Center to participate in National Cheesecake Day. Of course. While there we went to Barnes and Noble and I got a couple books, including the I Ching, which I have been wanting to read for a long time. I am excited.

I didn't do anything else tonight aside from clean. It never ends.

Day 76 - Painting, Target, Night at the Roxbury

Today I helped paint Mrs. Risdon's classroom with a bunch of teachers and kids. that was fun, although it was more of a work out than it should have been. My hair is completely white from where I kept hitting my head on wet paint so now I look like I have the most intense dandruff ever.

I kept cleaning all this afternoon, and got rid of another chunk of stuff from in my room. I got rid of everything that was in the shadow boxes on my dresser and night stand and went to Target to get photos developed to replace them with. Wile there I got a frame to hang one of my prints above my bed. I was looking ROUGH while I was there. Sweaty, needing a shower, hair and legs covered in paint. So, of course, who do I see? Mike Woods. The first thing I said was a disclaimer about not having intense dandruff, and he grabbed my head and was like "let MEEEEE see!" Then we discussed how he can only wear a pair of socks once then throws them away. Then of course the conversation turned to Jenn and it was far less awkward. But STILL. Embarrassing.

Then tonight after I was showered got the majority of paint out of my hair, my friend Kevin came over and we watched Night at the Roxbury, since he has never seen it. Watching a movie with him tonight made me think of last summer and watching movies with Wyatt all the time. Not talking to him anymore still hurts. He went from being one of my best friends and talking 24/7 to never speaking again. I have seen him a few times but we still havent spoken. It still hurts.

Day 75 - Loop x2, Emma, IanBrannon, Milby

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....

Colton's Words of Wisdom of the day: "Well Kate, you see sometimes you just have to push through that sleepiness so that you can hang out and have an awesome time."

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.
