All right. Now starts the epic blog. Where did I last leave us? Oh, "Blue Grandma's" house in RI. Ok, so we traipsed to our beach house, and got there early so we drove around Naraganset for a bit and then went back to the house, and then got lost looking for the rental office, but we finally found the place and got in. So we went got food and stuff and when we got back, Elisa and Amanda were there waiting in the driveway. They couldn't get in as we had the keys. So we got all settled, and neither Amanda nor I (the persons with cars there) wanted to drive anywhere for a long time. Yeah, she drove up from NC, and I had been driving since the 4th. Ok, so now it was afternoon/evening, and we walked down to the beach and blah blah blah blah.

To make a long story short... Elisa was buried in the sand. Sue's little brother Roo was buried in the sand when he brought Sue's car to her so Sue could now drive us everywhere. We took photos of hot lifeguards sans shirts. I got a toe ring. I got color without burning. We went to Newport, RI where all the rich people live and did this thing called the "Cliff Walk" which was supposed to be 3 1/2 miles. Well it seemed like much longer, and 2 miles of it was not paved or anything. I got a blister. But I did get 2 rolls of film of the nice pretty houses that I suppose I could lower myself to reside in. Umm... what else happened on my vacation? We saw lots of movies. MIIB, which wasn't as good as the first one, but still was quite good. We also saw Lilo & Stitch, which was beyond adorable. Yeah, it was Disney without being overbearingly Disney. Oh what else? Saw Ocean's 11, and Legally Blonde (again) and Girl Interrupted (again) and 10 Things I Hate About You (twice--once on TV and once on Video after I invested in it).

There was this Irish family in the house sharing a backyard with us, and they had a 15 year old girl who played the bagpipes. So she's not going to win any awards at the moment, but still, it was tres cool. Well, for a Celtic nut like myself. So we talked to them for a bit, and then when we divied up the food on Saturday when we were leaving, we gave them our eggs. Because they rocked.

We played bocce. Didn't play badmitton, which we could have. We played in the surf. Let me tell you the water was COLD! yes, it was COLD. Very very COLD. Hence most of the time I sat on the beach and read the Stand. No, I'm not done with it yet, but I'm probably 3/4 of the way done now. Oh, and Amanda brought up this umbrella her mom bought on a street corner in Italy. Milan I think. Anyway, it's a palm tree. And it rocks hard. It was the greatest thing on the beach. We did have the best umbrella. Lots of people around us thought so.

Umm... I painted my toenails red. and my fingernails, but that peeled off. I sat on the beach some more. I finally got to watch Buffy, so now can understand some of the obsessions that go on concerning the show. I have plenty of material to open up my acryllic paints on and go wild. I got a adorable-ass hat at Wal Mart. And I drove home.

Oh, we made smores too.

Yep. That was my vacation. But it was a week of happily doing nothing.

Oh, more things: played mini golf--I came in second. Went to batting cages--I did ok. We had dinner on Wednesday at "Blue Grandma's" house. I kicked ass at Trivial Persuit. And I've got tons of pictures to scan, which I will scan sometime. K?

Well, so much for my epicness.

Back in the land of the 'puterful
