We're Jammin'

I've come to the realization that I'm really bad at this posting thing. My updating skillz need a little sharpening. Since it's been a while I will outline my week for you.

Friday-Saturday
I spent the better half of my weekend in Tolland, CT with my cousin,Ali, her husband, Jeff, and their two adorable kiddos. I learned a few things about myself while staying with them: 1) I definitely want to have kids some day 2) It will NOT be anytime soon. Their three year old is a whirlwind of energy and really enjoyed playing mind games with me. One second he'd be hugging you, so thankful that we were spending time with him and next he'd slap you across the face and laugh maniacally just because he could. God, it must be nice to be three.

Sunday
Spent the day with Grandma Dianne (also known fondly as "Grianne"). We went to see a concert at Carnegie Hall. A family friend, Marc, was in the orchestra so that was crazy cool and we happened to run into another good friend of ours who magically had the seats right next to ours. Couldn't have planned it if we tried. Anyways, after the concert we went to say hi to Marc and his family. His wife, Terry, is one of my favorite people in the world. She called me "Bubbi" and totally made my day. Then her son, Adam, who just happens to be associate producer of the Colbert Report asked me if I wanted to see a taping. To which I replied, "Hell to the Yes".

Monday
Had the greatest performance of my life. I have never sung that well or that passionately. Sang the trio, "At the Ballet" and a solo "I will be loved tonight". I'll upload the videos when I can.

Tuesday
COLBERT REPORT!!!! V.I.P. tickets and a hilarious show. After the taping Adam gave us a tour and got to pose in front of the desk. EPIC WIN. Afterwards my peep, Joanna, and I dropped about forty bucks each on a bottle of wine, a tappas platter and two different types of fondue. Worth every freaking penny.

And now we're back to today. Got to meet an old friend for lunch which was wunderbar and am headed to little Italy tonight for a birthday celebration. Little Italy lives up to its name these days as it is only a block long . China town just keeps growing and is eating little Italy alive. What are you gonna do?

Peace, Love and Melty Cheese,

Geni
