    FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK.... because Bay never made it to Georgia. Amy and Nadia had lots of fun, but Bay caught bronchitis and stayed home. We talked about what Bay missed, and how nice it was to meet up in Chattanooga, and how great Bay's nails now look, but we didn't have our fun girls' weekend in Covington. Write to us!

    Bay needs a manicure, STAT! Wait, what she really needs is a good manicure.

    Very darned hard! We even earn it when we're not trying to be filthy! So after the ELK HUNT, Yamy took her BITCH of a Frenchie to Louisville for the nationals...

    After a nice break, we're back! We traveled a little, we shopped a little, we ate a little; we stood back and gazed in wonder at what teenagers can put away these days. (Were we ever like that?

    You guys liked the drunky cast!

    An extra dog!!! Yeah! Everyone loves an extra dog! Unless you're hosting Amy's former bulldog Lola, in which case, now you have to put up with your current French bulldog being kind of, well, passive aggressive. Just a little. Amy's houseguest sets off alarms! But only because Amy made him. And he won a poker tournament -- how much fun is that?! Bay saw fireworks, and we discuss how nice Knoxville is becoming, and there's just a wee bit of Vocabulary Vixen. Did that elicit a response? Oh, heck, yeah, it did! Call us! 44-222-96269!
