This and That

Wow- the last few weeks have just flown by. And I have been a terrible blogger. I haven't even checked Facebook every day! That just shows how bad I have been at keeping in touch with the world, because I am obsessed with FB.


Anyway, after Indiana, I went to Providence, RI for a week. The weather was beautiful, and I took some time during the week when I had free days to take a trip to Boston, and a trip to Newport. I made Kevin take the city bus with me to Newport because it was only $2.00 each way.... not a good idea. I thought he was going to either kill me, or the other people on the bus by the time we got back. SO GHETTO. I guess some things are worth renting a car for. But Newport was great- we visited The Breakers, which is one of the Vanderbilt mansions. A little over the top for my taste, but impressive none the less. See this dog below? I thought- how funny that they have statues of dogs in the yard to show that they had pets! I felt pretty dumb when it was explained to me it keeps the birds away. At least I got a good laugh out of myself.

After Rhode Island, I flew back to Cleveland for two weeks to get work done on my new condo. I was having the entire place painted, the bathroom re-done, and all new floors put in. At least, those were the large projects. Then there are the ten million little things that need to be done later. My dad came over earlier in the week to help me with things, I made 20 trips to Lowe's, and Kevin came in on Thursday night to help with floors. Well, pretty much do the floors.

I can't believe how many little things can go wrong with remodeling. I mean, nothing was terrible, but nothing goes totally the way you want it to. I think I have watched too many Extreme Home Makeovers. In my head, the painting would be done in a few days, the sink and toilet would just plop in, and the floors would be in with no problem. Lets just say it didn't quite go like that. But it's on the way.

I had a great time in Cleveland visiting with friends and family when we were not at the condo- lunches, drinks, dinners, visits, Easter....

Yesterday, Kevin and I drove my car from Cleveland to Long Island. Our last two weeks of shows are in NYC at Madison Square Garden, and then the tour is over. The drive was long, but fine. Minus the fact that my AC is not working. We are staying with his aunt and making the commute to the City for work every day.

What comes next? I have a few things up my sleeve, so stayed tuned.
