Rain
Las Vegas, NV I am MTV. I am Real World. I am Vegas. I have roused up at noon (3 EST) after hitting the sheets at 4:30. The room is moving about. Some are hurting pretty bad. Most of us are just worn out. Matt and I walked around during the day yesterday. He has never been to Vegas, so I showed him some of the casinos. We went to O’Shea’s where I won a quick hungie, then I showed him the Mirage and Caesar’s. Caesar’s is immense. I’ve been in there 5 times and each time I get lost. That gets annoying, but it is a spectacle. We had to leave Caesar’s because I had a 4:30 appointment....

Las Vegas, NV Whoa. It’s 2:00 (eastern). I’m sitting in the hotel room at Bally’s watching a little U.S. Open Golf. It’s Matt, Brandie, and Courtney from Charlotte in the room. Matt and Brandie are married. We are all friends from Charlotte who know the couple getting married (Mike and Krista). I am glad I had a free ticket. Mom, I’m not broke, but yesterday was awful. I got to the Buffalo airport at 10:00, caught my 11:00 flight to Philly, and got on the plane from Philly to Vegas at 1:00. I got into Vegas at 9:45. It’s not an 8 hour and 45 minute flight. We sat on the runway for...

Rochester, NY Another 8 hours in the car wore me out. I drove from Cincy to Rochester today. I had some drizzle in the AM, but after that it was smooth sailing. The skies were pretty cloudy. I jammed to a lot of O.A.R. They are great for driving or really anytime. Some Shins, Beatles, Lenny Kravitz, and Black Crowe’s made the time pass. I pulled into the cottage at 4:15. It was perfect here. 72 degrees, blue sky, slight breeze and quiet. I unpacked a little and made it out to the beach. I hit a lawn chair and chilled until my Dad got home. I wasn’t able to sleep, but I laid back and...

Cincinnati, OH You know how you say you go way back with someone? Well, I go way way back with the people I was with tonight. I was just in Memphis with my niece Hope. She is 2. She has a friend Ava that she hangs out with all the time. Their mom’s hang out, so they hang out. I was hanging out with my Ava and her family tonight. Tonight I saw pictures of Nikki and I when we were 1. Some when we were 2. And so on. She and I would take naps together, play together, take baths together…We were baby friends. Our parents were tight. They actually saw each other in Rochester on Sunday. Note...

Memphis, TN Time to wrap up the Memphis leg of the journey. Today was spent running errands and taking acre of the girls. Brad was off to Tampa for work, so it was Season and her friend Colin. She came over to watch Hattie while Season took Hope to gymnastics. I’m all in for Vegas. I went to the airport this morning to use my voucher that I picked up the day I met Elizabeth Dole. Without that voucher, I couldn’t go. But, I’ll be on my way on Thursday. I’m hoping to do an interview or two there. I have a call in to the manager to a couple of the dance clubs there. I...
