good morning, vietnam!

it's 2:30 in the morning. and i'm up. i could go eat some waffle house 'bout now. YURM. but i don't think anyone is up and it would not be safe to go out right now. i don't want to become the next elizabeth smart. or natalie holloway. whatev. she was such a moron.
i've got two finals tomorrow. one's at 8 in the morning and the other is at 10. i'm so DOOMED.
am i crazy, you ask? no, just delirious. i've been studying since 12:30 this afternoon and the kicker is that i don't even think the info i studied even stuck.
i'm gonna come home and take the longest nap i've ever taken in my life, watch movies, lay in bed, read books, and/or cry about the serious bombage that were my two finals. sigh.
so i hope everyone has had a good morning so far!
caitlin - i hope your cell phone dilemma comes to an end soon. a.) because that would suck if you had to get a new one & b.) i don't want to hear you complain about it for weeks. that one phone call was enough.
carrie - i have not listened to the 'weather channel' music YET, but that is on my 'OMG, SCHOOL IS OUT. YAYZ.' list. will do it, soon. promise.
mollie - i hope your eye is ok. and i hope you do good on your finals. we missed you at our luncheon.
maggie - cameron & house, forever.
lindsey - i like bill. not, like like him. but i like him. he wears belts and everything!
lydia - some kids are turning around in their seats. go crack that whip! or not. it's cool. whatev.
lisa - sam is going to be on top chef next week!!! you know, HOT sam? from 2 seasons ago? that me and caitlin drooled over? yeah, him. i know you're excited. don't fight it!
whitney - get to work I know you are goofing off
becky - how'd your anniversary gift come along? did you get him some steel?
melz. or mom - don't ever hide in that cabinet again, ok? i got kinda scared cause i couldn't find you. so...let's just NOT play hide and seek, mmk?
mrs. judy - i saw you rocking out to 'hail, jesus you're my king' tuesday night. don't lie. you know you loved it. i know i did. we should do that every sunday.
olivia - lost tonight! woot! jack&kate, forever. also, north carolina is the bestest ever in the world. emma - i need some book recommendations for the summer! and nothing by lori wick!
mteph - i read some interesting spoilers for big love today. we'll have to get together and discuss. and this is where i say goodnight. or good morning? anywho, i'm going to sleep now.
g'night!
g'morning!

Judy
I'm up. Megan is up. She just walked in here saying she wished we had some munchies. Me too.
I did not rock out to Hail, Hail. I was being entertained by the Catholics.
I will pray for your finals not to be complete bombage.

Carlie
Also, Olivia! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!

Lindsey
Wow. Intense. You were def in a stage of delirium. You will do amazing on both your tests. I know it. I want in on that convo with steph.
PS I like bill too

Whitney
uh couple a things.
a) why was mel hiding in a cabinet?
b) loved the choice of words in this email...yurm, yayz, and i really felt the 'dum da dum dum' with the way you capitalized the word doomed. nice touch.
c) elizabeth smart...pulled that out ya butt...maybe you really will retain some of what you've been studying.
d) i loved the specific shout outs. preciate it.

Lisa
THE ONLY, ONLY, ONLY THING I GLEENED FROM THIS WAS CAITLIN'S PHONE PROBLEMS?? WHAT PHONE PROBLEMS? THANK YOU CARLIE.......I HAVE ALREADY ASKED HER WHAT THE PROBLEMS WERE......I AM TYPING LARGE BECAUSE I AM PISSED......I'LL SEE IF CAITLIN CAN EMAIL FROM HER WET PHONE TO TELL YAL WHY IT IS WET......BRILLIANT EMAIL.....MOOD..........UNBEFREAKING
and yeah why was Melanie hiding in a cabinet
also Donkey Kong 1 has been defeated.....on to DK2...I am a beast and my children know it....

Caitlin
I am about to take a final i'll tell yall later

Carlie
I am truly sorry, Caitlin.

Olivia
Carolina sucks

Lisa
I am not sorry and let me preface her side of the story with the fact that I.....I.....I found her phone in the street on the way to Melanie's house 2 weeks ago.....in 3 pieces......the phone has been through alot and frankly so have I.......

Carlie
It's not what you think, Lisa. I promise. It was a freak accident.
And....I'M DONE! I think I did fairly well on my accounting. Not so sure about economics. But I don't care cause hello, summer!
Now, i'm going to go crash. I'm running on 3 hours sleep and a whopping 4 hours of testing. This little tigger if tuckered out.
Later, fools!

Whitney
i am not a fool.

Lisa
who called you a fool and it's exactly what I think car car

Whitney
carlie,
she said 'later fools'
that means she called you one too.
that is not nice.

Emma
toterly knew about the phone (and thats totally with an er) was in the room and got to experience her panic.. didn't really care and i mainly feel bad for the phone instead of Caitlin because it has lived a very eventful life. And Carlie!!!! i will toterly ; ) have to hook you up with some bizooks!! haha (thats books with an iz.....I don't know why.....)

Emma
ANNOUNCEMENT!!!
THE DUGGARS ARE PREGNANT WITH THEIR 18TH CHILD!!!!
Yes, she is sixteen weeks pregnant and they are going to do another show about it.
They said they are going to keep having children until they can't anymore.
Personally i think its great! Totally excited for them

Judy
Yes, I am excited that it's them and not me. Although it's my personal opinion that after five children, it doesn't really matter. You're totally outnumbered and you'll be raising kids forever anyway, so what's the difference.
I am, however, vaguely surprised that her uterus hasn't fallen out from sheer exhaustion.

Carrie
I have no words for that 18 OY!!!!!!!! is that how many pups Judy's house has???????????

Judy
Oooohhhhh, I gotta go lay down....

Lisa
geez oh man if I see that woman look longingly at her husband with that grin on her face.......puhleeze and he is so full of wisdom and sperm......when she sneezes she pees her pants......no doubt about it.....

Judy
Really - those people can't be for real, can they? And you know why they're having ANOTHER BABY? Because they've run out of money and they needed a reason to sell their story again. Are any of those older kids getting married and moving out? They're old enough to have kids of their own, aren't they? They'll probably all have elective sterilization.

Carrie
yes this whole thing cracked me up... Carlie that was too funny and the issue of why Melanie was in the cabinet has NEVER BEEN ADDRESSED????????????????

Lydia
we have to remember that every time one is born it gets handed of f to the next one in line ,so they can take care of it. kind of weird but totally necessary with 18.

Whitney
yes...melanie why were you in the cabinet?

Melanie
Okay I have been computerless for about 5 days so I finally got Maggie's computer since she is through with school so I could check my mail. I have been very entertained.

The cabinet. Our new tv cabinet has doors at the bottom for components. One side of the cabinet had nothing in it. The shelves were on the floor and I was about to put them in the cabinet and thought "That is really a big space I'll bet I could fit in there". Carlie was in her bedroom-STUDYING I'm sure so I called her to come here and got in the cabinet. She came through the living room and was going back and forth hollering, Where are you and of course I start snickering just like Joey on Friends and I am so scrunched over that my belly has not much room to snicker so I had to bust out and catch her completely off guard. She never guessed I would be in there it was really fun.

Lindsey
Man not living at home sure has its downsides

Carlie
Hah, yeah. Surely.
I really had no clue where she was. I walked through the entire house at least five times. Maya knew the whole time and I did not heed her warning - which was standing right in front of the cabinet and looking at me every time I walked through like, "She's right here, you moron!"
Never again, never again.

Judy
I LOVE THAT STORY!!!
Too Good!

Lisa
All I can think about regarding the cabinet story is how many 53 year old women look at a cabinet and think, "Hmmm I wonder if I could fit in it?" Another thought dogs see it all!! If they could only convey their seeing to us.....well it would just be awesome. Emma left for Houston today to babysit for a family.....she is not of my loins.....as nice as they are I would not be going and sleeping in the same room with someone I barely knew. It is truly amazing. Now the rest of us were in the backyard tonight and in case yal didn't know, Caitlin and Olivia have taken up backyard golfing. I hate golf truly I do. Anyway, I'm not sure if Cailtin knows the difference between golf and softball because she struck out like 5 times. But when she finally hit a ball, it stayed flat on the ground....like no air at all and as it wizzed by, John hollered, "Worm burner!!" I laughed pretty hard and am right now still laughing so hard I have tears rolling down my face.....no lie. I could barely type this cause I can't stop laughing......and now they are all like, "What the heck are you laughing about?" I will stay amused about that statement for some time......

Judy
Worm burner? I am going to figure out a way to use that phrase.
That is a good point about how many 53 year old women think that.....and then the next question is.....how many would actually DO it after thinking it?
Erma Bombeck said she always worried about what her dog REALLY thought when he saw her come out of the shower. So maybe we don't really want to know. They rule the world anyway - at least at my house.

Carrie
yes very true on the 53 year old kid/Mom/Joey.....and worm burner???? yes very funny but don't get it....and Emma....adventurer......

Carrie
yes the balloon over the dogs head with the thoughts in it would be very interesting....

Lisa
well she is burning the worms cause the ball didn't leave the ground........where the worms live.....get them worms some helmets

Caitlin
Mother that is a gross misrepresentation of the facts.
First.
I am learning how to hit the ball good and until I can hit the ball well I am not playing on a course which is the reason we are currently confined to the yard.
Second.
I hit ONE on the ground and she negates to tell you about the beautiful shots I fired out.
Goodbye.

Carrie
oooohhhhhhhh kkkkkkk now I got it.....

Judy
Why would anybody actually learn how to play golf?

Carrie
I'm sure you will soon be ready for the pros.....

Melanie
My dogs WON'T come in the bathroom with me when I shower. HMMM? Daisy did when she was here.

Carrie
BURBERY............................

Judy
What?

Carrie
cute young golfer from down under is the spokes person for Burberry.... which Caitlin is crazy for... anything Burberry.... fragrance, clothes, coats, handbags, you name it....

Judy
ooooooohhhhhh - all for love, be it fishing, motorcycling, golfing, whatever....

Judy
See....that's so sweet. Girls are great. Testosterone ruins everything.

Stephanie
oh god. amazing story about caitlin golfing.
i can only imagine.
your family always brings me joy. thanks

Lydia
one more story about going with the husband. I went golfing with my precious new husband, and he had the nerve to yell at me in front some total strangers, just because i parked a little too close to the dumb ball !!!!! Yes, I was furious and he had to catch them on the next hole and apologize for yelling!!!!!! and that was the last time i drove while he played golf

Caitlin
(sent a picture of Burberry in a store window)
What can I say.... they had me at hello....

Caitlin
Since I am at work with nothing to do really, I am going to tally up
everything I want from Burberry and then give yall the total.
P.S. I will have style numbers available if anyone would like to purchase me something.

Whitney
ooh yea...do it. good idea.

Whitney
kids,
they sell sprinkles cup cake mix at williams sonoma.
chocolate, lemon, red velvet, and vanilla.
ive been watching a cupcake decorating video on the site...and looking at their muffin pans...thats the same thing as a cup cake pan right?
i want it...i want it all.

Emma
Duh.

Whitney
hey everyone,
lets do dinner at grandmas this week.
emmas out of town so it should be REALLY fun.

Lydia
Poor Emma, i'm in

Caitlin
She got you there...
And I L-O-V-E Sprinkles!!!

Caitlin
Drum roll please.........
And the grand total is......
$50,131.00

Carrie
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is that just for a coat, hat and shoes????? WOW

Carrie
haha that was funny Em and a little confusing.....but funny....

Caitlin
That total is of about 90 things, from headbands to trenches.
I mean they sell everything I could ever want.... shoes, luggage, handbags, totes, swimwear, jewelry, watches, umbrellas, scarves, hats, dresses, shirts, skirts, pants, fragrances, key chains, and jackets of all sorts

Carrie
wow.......we will keep this in mind....

Carrie
boys can be so stupid.............

Lisa
I DO NOT like Sprinkles cupcakes....they are over rated and overpriced. Duncan Hines 100 times better....

Lydia
in the bucket in gods wallet

Emma
Even though that was a very hurtful thing you said Whitney, I forgive you.

Whitney
you said 'Duh' to me...it was equally as mean. probably meaner.

Lindsey
Ooo burn

Emma
I disagree. I was simply pointing out the obvious cuz I mean seriously isn't it ironic how a cupcake and a muffin have the same shape yet you have to have two separate pans to bake them. DUH!!

Judy
Welll I'm actually pretty confused about all this, but I'm thinking if it's a MUFFIN then they get to charge more than if it's a CUPCAKE.
It's all about marketing.

Whitney
no. that is just like the food industry...make us buy two different pans that do the same thing! very believable.

Emma
so i went to imdb.com to look at Frank Sinatra and all that he did. Did not know that the Oceans 11 with Brad Pitt and George Clooney was not the original! Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack were in the first one and now i want to find it and watch it. For those who do not know, I love Frank Sinatra and I wish we could be friends but we can't because he is dead, but I still love his music and I want to see oceans 11 with him in it. AND i have a cold! the whole sore throat stuffed up nose and i do not like it. Totally positive that the baby I’m sitting gave it to me so what-freaking-ever!! I do not like being sick...

Lindsey
Well to quote you Emma... DUH. On the note of being sick, take it from me those kids are walking illnesses and are quite contagious. I had strep at the beginning of the week. No fun. It is an occupational hazard.

Lisa
I'm sorry you aren't feeling well....Saturday is almost here...love you

Lindsey
Aw thanks Lisa love you too.
