Monday and Tuesday- Typical:  Showings, phone calls to various buyers, sellers, lenders, MLS searches.  Lunch with my best girl.  More phone calls.  Stop at Whole Foods for dinner supplies, come home to cook and eat dinner.  More MLS work, blogging.

Wednesday - Golf Committee meeting for the Greater Providence Board of Realtors where we discussed the results from our tournament on July 21st.  We also discussed other causes, and as a regular platelet donor, I mentioned the Rhode Island Blood Center and spoke about my experience and also the Donor Reception I recently attended.  I was asked to head a blood drive, which I'm very excited about. More details to follow.  Met a client and his contractor at a home in Providence which we hope to close on in the next few weeks. Showing in the afternoon.  Phone calls all day.  Send out monthly e-card to clients to let them know what fun events are takng place in Rhode Island for the rest of the summer.

Thursday - I was an extra on the Showtime series "Brotherhood"!  The scene was shot in East Providence, RI.  I wrote about it in my Rhode Island blog.  It was quite an experience. 

Friday - Very busy for a Friday.  Lots of phone calls - one from a former client who is looking to invest in several single family homes!  Lunch at Garden Grille.  Met with a new client at the office in the afternoon.  Melissa and I had a joint consultation with a new trainer at Village Health in Providence.  We begin officially on Monday evening and we're both very excited. 

Saturday - Head to the new gym for a good workout - we need to prep for our first session with Rachel!  Home for a healthy breakfast, then off to Breton Point for the afternoon. We thought we'd have time to hit the Scituate Farmer's Market but we didn't make it.  A friend recently moved to Newport and she invited us to see the new place, which is right in the middle of everything.  Great location!  We met her neighbors and we started talking about the old homes in the neighborhood.  As a Realtor, I'm always interested in a home's history and mechanics.  He took me over to his basement and showed me how his home was supported by giant blocks of granite.  It really was something to see.  We sat by the pool and our friend cooked us dinner on the grill.  Some of her neighbors were headed to the Newport Storm Luau, which was at Fort Adams State Park.  There really is nothing like Newport in the summer.   

Sunday - Can't go the entire weekend without working!  Open house from 12-2 in Coventry, come home and go for a walk, Whole Foods for dinner supplies, blog, MLS, Olympics, bed.

As I look at this, I think about how lucky I am to live in Rhode Island.  I got to be an extra on a cable TV series, I got to spend an evening by the pool in Newport with friends,  I get to visit some amazing farmer's markets and restaurants. I get to contribute to my community and have many resources to help me stay healthy.  And I get to stay busy doing something I love.  What's better than that?
