Things to do while in Rhode Island.
I'm going home to RI next week. I need ideas of what to do to avoid spending time with my parents. There is only so much angst, guilt and putdowns I can handle. Del's won't be open. Besides, there is only so much frozen lemonade one can eat anyway. Too bad it isn't warmer, I could hang at the beach all day. *sigh* Maybe I can hide out at a girl friend's house.

I could make a BNL replicant to take my place to endure the coldness of my mother. I'll make it out of old pillows and a mannequin head. My mother asked me what I wanted for my birthday. I jokingly said "ignore it like I am. Ha Ha." (because I'm turning 40. She blandly said. "I can do that." Thanks Mom!

1. Hrm...
Not that it much matters, but what part of the state are you going to be in?

I still like going to the beach in the winter, and can PM ya a couple nice spots down by Misquamicut for sitting/walking...

Providence Zoo? Shops at Watch Hill? There's a spa that just opened near Westerly. Bra shopping at Zoe's downtown in Westerly?


:hug: for the parental crap...

2. Invite a bunch of people to party at mom's
play quarters and sing drinking songs until 4am!

This plan serves two purposes. :rofl:

Sorry 'bout mom stuff :(

3. Build a floating replica of the state out of styrofoam and popsicle sticks.
Then drag it down to Daytona and watch the race.

4. Angst, guilt and putdowns?
Come to Tampa instead. It's warm, beaches are nice, and you'll have none of the above.

6. Walk from one end to the other while holding your breath.
It's not that hard.

8. Rid yourself of the guilt sweetie. You've done nothing to feel guilty about.

9. Go out clubbing
that's pretty much all there is to do there, but avoid seeing any 80's hairbands on their comeback tour. Those things don't go well in Rhode Island.
