The Week that Surpassed It!
Coming soon on video and DVD (Not to mention Napster - Look for the Alphabet song...coming as soon as we hook up the recorder to the computer!! :)

BEWARE, NASHVILLE!  HERE WE COME!!

  The Nashville Trip!

Do you go to Vandy? Wanna see our artistic talent? Going from East Tower to West Tower, about 1/3 of the way through, bottom left hand side on a pipe. Look for the giant UD. :) That's us!

We learned...
...that you should always make sure you have your wallet when you get to the airport.
...that if you are going to remember your wallet, make sure you have your drivers license too.
...that we don't know what a hippodrome is, but we are pretty sure it doesn't mean car dealer. Or does it?
...that the World's Largest Adult Bookstore is rather elusive, even though you can see it from every highway in Nashville.
...that purple = porn
...that it's possible for one game of Uno to last hours and hours.
...that we HAVE to go to Arkansas and Mississippi now, becuase Ally heard they sell caffeine free Dr Pepper there.
...that Opryland must be for old people - they close at 10pm and open at 6am.
...that there is no Arizona.
...that ballrooms are not quite as cool when there's nobody to waltz with under the chandelier.
...that Jenny is going to have to find a pretty flexible guy if she wants to achieve her dream of living in Opryland.

And of course, the Alphabet song It was begun becuase we were cold and bored and walking to dinner and someone got the "C is for cookie" song stuck in our head. Then we worked from there. Then all of a sudden someone pointed out that we had forgotton A and B. So we finished our masterpiece at dinner, as a group, and then we had to practice. We're going all the way - CD's, MTV, and Napster! It has done us well, making us laugh, and keeping Jenny from going bonkers when she had a split second of weirdness threatening her! Hooray for the alphabet song!

The Planning Stages
"So anyway, the moral of the story is, two years ago the boys wouldn't take us to Arkansas.  We say, screw them.  We don't need no stinkin boyfriends to go to Arkansas!"
"So tell me.  What are your feelings on.....kareoke?"
"Opryland! Opryland! Opryland!"
"And then I'm taking you to a steakhouse that is good purely becuase they let you throw peanuts on the ground."
"Oh no we're gonna come home speaking hick."
