Caitlin's Trip! She is my first friend to visit me in New York City! We had so much fun! I had to work a couple of days, but she did great going around the city by herself!
Caitlin arrives and I'm working. Boo! But it's okay. She is exhausted from finals, so she naps and meets me at my work. Work is crazy as usual and Caitlin shows up early. I feel so bad because I see her and I say, "Is it 8:00 already?" I should have said, "Oh my gosh! I'm so excited to see you!" I was thinking that, but the earlier comment came out first. I introduced her to The Capital Grille's Stoli Doli's. (Sp?) It's a pineapple infused vodka drink. We infuse the vodka for so many days! They are delicious! Then we head out in Hell's Kitchen! It's typically a great place to go, but because of the weather being so cold, people are starting to hybernate!
I take her to Ariba Ariba Mexican Restaurant. I've told you about this in previous blogs. It's so good! Caitlin loves it and we have some great margaritas! We had some great conversation too! It's so nice to catch up with a great friend! Then we head to the bars, where I tell her are always full of good looking men! Instead, we meet some drug dealers from Columbia!
Oh yes! Go figure, right? Only with Caitlin would this happen! Haha! So, I start to make fun of them, but in a way that they wouldn't know it. Caitlin is laughing hysterically and they are just staring at us with blank faces! It looks like they seriously just got off the reservation in Wyoming or something. It's so funny! Check out the pictures! The one with me is the completely cracked out dealer, while the guy with Caitlin is his creepy cousin. It was a Columbia invasion at Zanzibar, so we left!
We go to Mercury Bar next, which has maybe five people in there. We're having a drink, I look over, and who do I see? The reservation chief from Zanzibar who was hitting on Caitlin! Lol! We leave and head home.
We do some serious shopping while she's here! We go all around 5th Ave. I take her to H&M, where they have some great sales! We go into Louis Vuitton, where Caitlin picks out her future Louis, and then we go to Cartier, where I pick out my future engagement ring. Now, I just have to find the lucky sucker to buy it for me! Hehe! Which brings me to my next point! Caitlin got to see Mr. Firefighter! Whew hew! I'm so glad someone saw him to prove that he is really a real person and I'm not just fantasizing! =) Of course, I get so nervous, I just quietly say "hey," as he smiles at me. Caitlin finds it hilarious on how shy I get around men. I don't! I need to fix this problem people! I'm like a third grader trying to ask my crush to sign my yearbook!
I tell her I want to take her to Macy's! It has these great Christmas decorations and it's a staple of this city! So, we go. We get there and we go up the escalators. Let me replay the scenario for you.
Caitlin: "Hey, the escalator is on fire." (Small flames are coming out of the up escalator)
Me: "Oh, yeah it is." (We both just stop and state)
Caitlin: "Maybe we shouldn't be those idiots who just stare."
Me: "True." (We start shopping. Yes, we start shopping.)
(We go up the escalators to the fourth floor and continue to shop)
Me: "Wow, it really smells like smoke up here."
Caitlin: "I know. Do you see the smoke?"
Me: "Yeah, that's crazy!"
Caitlin: "Ok, well I'm going to go try this skirt on."
Me: "Ok!"
(Caitlin comes out of the dressing room)
Macy's Worker: "Everyone evacuate the building, please. Please, evacuate the building!"
(A sudden rush of panic came over me. I'm gonna die in Macy's! We head towards the one exit and we look over to see a fireman axing the ceiling and water comes rushing out of it)
Caitlin: "Oh my God, Ashley, look at that fire fighter!" (laughing!)
I'm pretty sure Caitlin and I were the only ones laughing about the situation. We found it humorous. We're not going to die and every one is freaking out, cussing at people, shoving people, and forgetting about Christmas cheer! =) So...we're leaving and Caitlin wants a picture of the firemen. So, I go to take one and this guy shoves his way through the door people are trying to get out of.
Lady with baby in stroller: "What do you think you're doing? Fuck you. Merry Christmas."
(What? Did my ears just hear what I thought they did? Did she really just tell that guy F-you and Merry Christmas in the same sentence? Ha! After that, you bet I'll have a Merry Christmas!)
She takes me to New Moon! Yay! Finally! Can I just tell you how amazing it is? I'm sure everyone already knows because I'm probably the only one who hasn't seen it. I was amazed! The graphics were awesome, Rob Pattinson is gorgeous as always, and they did a great job of capturing all of the details in the book and condensing it in the movie. So, I'm still Team Edward. I think Jacob has a rockin' body, but I don't really think I'm digging his face. I think he's attractive, don't get me wrong, but there's just something about Edward's oddness and peculiarity that gets me every time! Jacob is a sweet character and I'd date him!
Chinatown. Oh my goodness. I love taking people down there who have never been! It's so funny to watch them! Caitlin had me do all of the bargaining, but she got a lot of good stuff! A handbag, a gift for her boyfriend, a necklace, and a scarf! I love bargaining, it's so much fun! I also like asking where they get their stuff from and if it's stolen! It totally gets a rise out of them, they get mad at me, then they give me a deal! Hehe!
Other foods we ate: Pinkberry! Which she loved! Little Italy restaurant and then to the bakery for some tiramisu and cannoli from the Cannoli King! The Bagel Bar was her favorite breakfast place! They have great bagels and quite a good variety of cream cheeses!
So it snowed all day Saturday! Caitlin got some cool pictures of it though from my balcony! We are the two lovely ladies who decide to venture out into the winter blizzard. We head to the Meatpacking district for a little dancing! Instead, we end up at the overly priced bar next door! We were not about to pay $20 to get into a dance club, where there are only 30 people inside! That's just insanity! Instead, Caitlin spends $38 on two drinks next door! Welcome to New York! Maybe after an hour and Caitlin practicing her modeling poses in the downstairs lounge, we trek out into the ten feet of snow to catch a cab home. Luckily, a driver in one of those black cars with the tinted windows asked if we wanted a ride. Caitlin is a little hesitant for legitimacy reasons, which is totally understandable and the responsible thing to do. I, on the other hand, am freezing and just need a warm place to sit! Hop in sister!
I was sad to her go, but will see her soon when I get home! Our trip was so much fun and I hope she had as much fun as I did!

Day 58
November 3, 2009
The last few months, when I decide to do something. I just do it. I don't really think about the consequences, the repercussions, the negatives, or the positives. I just go for it. It's completely unlike me to act this way. But I figure, why not? I've always lived on the "safe" side and over-analyzed everything I've ever done. Which led me back to where I didn't want to be.
My grandma sent me an e-mail yesterday that read, "The challenge you face is of your own design--that's what makes it worthwhile. Even so, you might not be sure whether you can do it. The faith of someone close to you will make the difference." Pretty good, huh? Totally pertains to my life and how I just jumped into moving to NYC and going after jobs, I never thought I would get. Taking risks and not even caring about the outcome. And guess what...it has been worthwhile and it's all worked out quite nicely!
So, I'm at work today and it's crazy, as usual. But I love it! It turns five o'clock and another hostess comes in to take over. I say, "Hey girl!" Then, I hear, "Hey!" I turn around and guess who it is? It's a guest of the restaurant, and she's black. Of course! She probably is thinking, who is this white girl, and why is she addressing me as 'Hey girl' when I walk in the restaurant. It looks like I'm completely racially profiling her. Go figure that happens to me.
One thing I like about being new--if you make a mistake, no one gets mad at you. My dad always tells me, "You can play the 'Oh shit' card once, but after that, you better be ready to be held accountable." So true. Needless to say, my 'oh shit' card has now expired.
I get home and I have two letters in the mail! I love mail! One is another Starbucks gift card--I love it! And the second are pictures of my cousin's baby! He is so cute! Now, I have pictures to put in my empty picture frames in my apartment!
My friend Shelby calls me today to wish me luck tomorrow on my first day as the Better Homes & Garden, Fashion & Beauty Editorial intern. Yes, that is a lot to say in one sentence. She then tells me she is researching blogs and she got tired, so she started reading mine for fun! If you're reading this today Shelby, Get back to work! ;) Love you!
I have to say, I'm getting annoyed with "New Moon." I'm tired of Bella and Jacob. I'm ready for Edward to come back! I'm over the werewolves, Victoria, and the repetitious "Bella feeling sorry for herself." It's time the book gets exciting! And it's almost over! Time for the pace to pick up. I did see a preview for the premier on November 20. I will be one of those nuts who is there at the midnight showing. I can't help myself anymore.
Note to self: Have faith. When you're having a difficult time with something, try not to think about it. Just have faith that everything will happen all in good time. Don't give up that faith because it will happen. What you want in life, you will succeed. With effort, time, and faith. No one said life is easy, they just said it would be worth it! ;)

Day 57
November 2, 2009
Can you believe it's already November? I can't! It only means one thing...I will soon be 25. Ugh! Horrid, I know! If I can stay 25 forever, I would be okay with that. I do not want to get older!
Besides this fact, today is a great day! I start my new job at The Capital Grille today. It is such a great place to work! The people are amazing--the managers don't talk to you like you're nothing. Unlike my previous job. I already have benefits, we get a free dinner everyday, and the best part...drum roll please...they are closed on Thanksgiving! Whew hew! The one thing I have been worrying about since I started applying for jobs! It's amazing! I can now enjoyably go to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with my brother and not have to worry about work! ;)
You should really check out their menu. Their food looks amazing, the atmosphere is a professional, yet elegant take on Old Hollywood Glamour, and the friendly staff, I know I will come to grow and love! Who doesn't love free coffee all day? I'm raising my hand, because I know I do! Let's not forget the rather attractive, business men that come strolling through our doors. That's just a bonus! And I've only been there a day! I may need to cool myself off a bit!
I come home, tired from the long day. After talking to my friend, Dyanna, on the phone, I turn to none other than "New Moon." I'm already 3/4 the way done! I can't even believe it. I now want to take up the hobby of reading. It's so different than watching tv. When I watch tv, my mind still wanders in a million different directions. When I read, I'm only focused on what's going on with the book. I love it! What a way to forget about everything!
I'm watching the series! What a great one! I love how the game's go back and forth. Phillies, Yankees, Yankees, now Phillies! I love it! I'm still for the Yankees because I want to see what the city turns into after they win! It's going to be one crazy phenomenon! I want to be a part of it! Baseball is my favorite sport. It's the All-American dream of sports! I was in Chicago when the Sox won the series, and now I'm in NYC where there is a potential for the same thing. I think I'm their secret good luck charm! I should get compensation for this! I would even settle for a date with a player! ;)
Note to self: When you give someone advice, maybe you should listen to yourself and really hear what you're saying. What you tell your friends is often something that pertains to your life. Take your own advice. You are your best critique. And you are ultimately the one who knows you best and knows what is best for you. When you tell your friend, "You deserve someone who doesn't treat you like crap. Don't put up with his crap. He's not worth it. You deserve someone who thinks you're the world!" And she says, "Yeah, he thinks the sun shines out of my ass, already." Haha! Listen to yourself and realize that you're in the same situation, and you should probably listen to yourself more! Hello, sister! You're not an idiot! I know it's easier said than done, but wake up to reality! I know we have all been here! Do you think we will ever really listen to ourselves? =) Probably not. But it's always nice to think that we do, and that we really do try! ;)

Day 54, 55, 56
October 30-November 1
Halloween Weekend! I got a little side-tracked this weekend, so decided to just clump it all into one big blog. As previously stated, Friday night is low-key. I spend all day, walking all over the city to find a pair of cat ears for Halloween night. My costume comes in the mail, in hopes my body will still fit into it. Considering I wore it last when I was a fit high schooler, I'm a little nervous! So, scouring the city is okay with me at this point. Any form of last-minute exercise is crucial! Which explains my limited amount of eating!
I watch the movie, Twilight. Okay, so maybe Rob Pattinson is amazing! However, I think it's more his character that I'm fascinated with, rather than him personally. Edward is the best man ever created! (Even if he is only fictional) The ending...not a fan! The book is much better. I'm highly anticipating New Moon!
Saturday comes and I am ready to go out! I still have yet to try on the costume! I'm too nervous that my butt cheeks are going to be sneaking out the sides of the leotard, so I'm avoiding it at all costs! ;) I go to the liquor store to buy a bottle of really cheap wine and I hear, "Trick or treat! Happy Halloween!" I get really excited! A liquor store handing out Halloween treats? I wonder what it could be?? As I'm checking out, I turn to see young children getting candy from the counter! Only in NYC can a child walk into a liquor store and receive candy. While they're telling jokes, mom and dad can purchase a little vodka, maybe some whiskey...Trick-or-Treating will be more fun for them this way! ;) I could tell a good joke for a shot! Maybe raising kids in the city isn't so bad after all! ;)
We go to a bar called, Amalia. Apparently, it's one of the hottest new spots in New York. It's really cool! The music is a mix of 80s and modern hip hop. And I do, successfully, get into my costume! Yes! I don't know how I do it, but somehow, short men are attracted to me. And last night...a short black man, tries to convince me that I need to date men of his race. I'm not opposed, but the height...he looks like my younger, twelve-year-old brother. I do not want to be plagued as a pedophile if we go to a bar. And...who gets into serious issues on Halloween?
Talk of cheating, politics, and past relationships? No thank you! I just met you sir, with absolutely no intentions of going out with you. Let's just call it a night after you tell me that cheating is okay and I'm still young, so "I'm excited for you, Bridgett." Yeah, I'm Bridgett to those who I want to leave me alone! I'm sorry your 5-year long relationship ended, but it's not really a hot topic to be discussed while I'm out with friends. Men need to stop thinking I'm a female Dr. Phil! I can't solve your problems! Thank goodness it's time to go!
Street meat! Oh yes! It has been too long! I am thoroughly excited it is on our way home. And small world...I run into a woman from Davenport! People from Iowa keep popping up all over out here! I love it! My favorite thing about walking home. Valerie asks a couple, "Hey, what are you?!" Their serious response, "Indian." The funny thing...she isn't asking about your ethnicity, people. She wants to know your costumes! Hahahaha! I can't help but laugh out loud! Classic!
Sunday is low-key as well. I start New Moon! I cannot wait any longer. I have already read 200 pages! I'm a little disappointed already that Edward is gone. But, I will admit, I snuck ahead to read the last five sentences and much to my pleasure, Edward is back! A part of my heart sunk when he said he no longer wanted Bella. It's like, I'm going through the break up! That Stephenie Meyer is one great writer! The perfect ending to a weekend...Sunday night television. Desperate Housewives, Brothers & Sisters, and the Yankees game. Cheers to a good weekend!
Note to self: The Internet is a dangerous thing. When you walk down the street, pretty exposed, and people randomly take pictures of you, it makes you wonder how many Facebook pages you're going to end up on, and you're going to have no idea! It's probably a smart idea to turn your cheek, so by some small chance, others you know will not recognize you if something like this happens. When people whistle and yell from the sidewalk and their cars, "Hey, sex kitten," don't look. Although Halloween is a night you can dress like this and enjoy yourself, you should also be a little pre-cautious.

Day 53
October 29, 2009
I finish the book today! And I must say, I am much anticipating "New Moon." I can't wait to see if he really turns Bella into a vampire! If I was her, I would do anything for that boy! Or should I say, man? ;) My friend also leant me the movie, so that's on my agenda for tomorrow. I know it's going to be Friday night, but considering my much anticipated Halloween, I think staying in is a good idea! I also told myself Rob Pattinson isn't as "dreamy" as everyone says, but after reading the book, I guess we'll see.
I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Don't you wish you could know why at the very moment something happens? Well, today, I go looking for special shoes I have to buy for my new hostess job. I cannot find them anywhere. I go to Payless, where I am directed to go, and when I ask the lady, she just stares at me. "You know, the shoes with stick-resistant at the bottom?" I say. Nothing. Just a blank stare. "Okay then, can you point me to size 8 section?" I say. Blank stare. Hmm...okay, then. Guess I will find it myself. They don't have any. I go up to her and ask if she can call another store so I don't walk all the way there and them not have any. Again, blank stare. Really? Are you a retard? (Insert "The Hangover" version of this word)
I go to the next store. Guess what the lady does when I ask her the same questions? Blank stares. I do realize the complexity of the question, Where are your slick resistant shoes?, but I'm not asking for brain surgery. I don't think anyways. Then, I get a call from the other employer who I am hoping to get a hostess job there. I got it! This must be the reason as to why the deaf/mutes as Payless can't find what I'm looking for!
I decide to do a little retail therapy! And I get a lot, for a little! I love these shopping days! As much as I hate going into Forever 21 and H&M, I reluctantly do so, but come out with bags and pleasantly surprised. Through all of the clutter, you can find some really great stuff! I buy my first pair of leggings. I'm becoming more of a New Yorker day by day. I'm hoping it does double duty--stylish and figure flattering. I don't want my booty jiggling while I walk the streets!
On my way home, I stop by the local fruit stand to purchase some more produce. Like normal shoppers, I check out each carton of strawberries to assure the quality; then I hear as I'm pushed out of the way, "Honey, they're all the same." I politely ignore this crackly, old woman. She says it again. This time, waving her hand in front of me. Lady! Does it look like I'm pestering you while you are shopping, smoking your cigarette? Hell to the no! I would not go near your wrinkly body with a ten foot pole! I don't need advice on how to produce shop. I believe I look old enough to do my own shopping.
I come home to a box awaiting my arrival. Every time I get a package from home, it's like Christmas! My parents always pack it full of goodies! I get food, things for my coffee, and a set of purple hardware. That's right. My hammer, screwdriver, some plier things, and other things that I have no idea what their purpose is, are adorned with purple! I love it! I can now be stylish while I pretend to be handy!
Note to self: Surprisingly, I don't recall any "Note to self" today. Due to high stress, my brain has lately, never really settled enough on one topic to really stop and think about. I have thought about "A day in the mind of Ashley." Writing down every thought that crosses through my mind. Because even when I'm just standing around, I often think to myself, Where did that come from? What ever made you think of that? I can't believe you're thinking about this. My mind often wanders to a different subject, I would say, eh, every 30 seconds or so. So, maybe...it would be funny to read! ;)
I finish the book today! And I must say, I am much anticipating "New Moon." I can't wait to see if he really turns Bella into a vampire! If I was her, I would do anything for that boy! Or should I say, man? ;) My friend also leant me the movie, so that's on my agenda for tomorrow. I know it's going to be Friday night, but considering my much anticipated Halloween, I think staying in is a good idea! I also told myself Rob Pattinson isn't as "dreamy" as everyone says, but after reading the book, I guess we'll see.
I truly believe everything happens for a reason. Don't you wish you could know why at the very moment something happens? Well, today, I go looking for special shoes I have to buy for my new hostess job. I cannot find them anywhere. I go to Payless, where I am directed to go, and when I ask the lady, she just stares at me. "You know, the shoes with stick-resistant at the bottom?" I say. Nothing. Just a blank stare. "Okay then, can you point me to size 8 section?" I say. Blank stare. Hmm...okay, then. Guess I will find it myself. They don't have any. I go up to her and ask if she can call another store so I don't walk all the way there and them not have any. Again, blank stare. Really? Are you a retard? (Insert "The Hangover" version of this word)
I go to the next store. Guess what the lady does when I ask her the same questions? Blank stares. I do realize the complexity of the question, Where are your slick resistant shoes?, but I'm not asking for brain surgery. I don't think anyways. Then, I get a call from the other employer who I am hoping to get a hostess job there. I got it! This must be the reason as to why the deaf/mutes as Payless can't find what I'm looking for!
I decide to do a little retail therapy! And I get a lot, for a little! I love these shopping days! As much as I hate going into Forever 21 and H&M, I reluctantly do so, but come out with bags and pleasantly surprised. Through all of the clutter, you can find some really great stuff! I buy my first pair of leggings. I'm becoming more of a New Yorker day by day. I'm hoping it does double duty--stylish and figure flattering. I don't want my booty jiggling while I walk the streets!
