The blog is back in town!

Hello blog. You may not remember me. My name is Kelsie. My room mates and I once started you as a way to commemorate our last weeks of college and as a way to keep us laughing when we went our seperate ways. You may not remember that. I apologize that you may feel so neglected. But I promise dear blog that as long as people are reading you...you will never have to hibernate in cyberspace that long again.

In further news... Yes Kaylie, Josh and Anna did have their first born. She was born on October 8. Her name was makynzie Renee. I was fortunater to get this small peice of information about the babies first few weeks of life in the brief 3 minutes I could get the remote out of will's hands and change the channel from sports center to the learning channel. I found out that anna's parents did not get to see the beautiful birth of their grandchild. However thanks to TLC and technology, they were able to watch the "birth episode" and get caught up. They came to visit three weeks later. Mother and baby are doing fine. I also happen to stumble upon this gem of a website...www.ja20.com. Here you can see the new families first christmas picture.

In further further news...I have compiled a list of a few things I have learned since graduating and getting married...
5. First graders will pee on anything. Including but not limited to book case shelves.
4. When you get married the wife will have to record her tv shows around the husbands sport center and out door network schedule.
3. Apparently home made hot chocolate boils over into a huge bubble when you forget you are cooking it. Most conviently the one time you try to make dinner for your husband. The bubble will pop and send hot chocolate all over your stove.
2. A six year old's broken wrist from the play ground is not usually a good way to start out the day or a good way to build trust I. The school nurse when she calls the parent saying " I think your son may have hurt his arm" not that I got a medical degree but when your wrist is in two different places .... Hurt would not be the term I would use to describe it.
And
1. It's a difficult conversation to have with your husband when you tell him you are allergic to his cat.

Twitter...

so.... I finally broke down and Twitter. Ok, 'finally broke down' isn't really right since I just kind of really found what it was in the library before chapel when Tyne (or @SarahTyne as Twitter would say) showed me hers. I'm not quite sure how I feel about it yet but apparently its cool because everyone has it. I feel a little stalkerish reading it, but I have found that 'twitter update ideas' have started coming to mind as I'm going about my daily business. Now to the point, I realized that the reason that I got Twitter is really because I can't stand the fact that I'm not going to be surrounded by my best friends all the time. I'm not going to know every little thing thats going on in their life like I do now. I guess its my way of trying to grasp on to whatever I can to stay connected to the people I love. So this was probably the first serious blog we've had (unless you consider Christie's blog about aliens serious...) but no worries, I'll be back with the Sephora Lady story, its a good one, feel free to ask me in real life, it will probably be funnier that way. Peace-Kaylie

Bobbi Called

So the blog about Friday night was getting ridiculous so here is Saturday...

It began like any other lazy Saturday. Kaylie's parents bought us breakfast tacos...they were wonderful! Thank you so much. We goofed around and then headed over to North East Mall because Shannon was in terrible need of some jeans. Kelsie however needed some blush. Side story...

So I use bare minerals and a few weeks ago I was going through my daily routine of putting on my make up...oh and did I mention I had JUST bought this blush. So I'm in my bathroom and hit something wrong and my blush goes flying every where all over my bathroom, all over my sink. It seriously looked like a crime scene. My whole bathroom was red. So I ran out Saturday. Good Story Kelsie, Thanks.

Back to North East...so Kelsie goes in Sephora to run in and out and before she can check out Kaylie is in the display chair getting some crazy creme put on her face by an over done make up lady...yeah you know the ones and you know just what they look like. I feel like it would not do justice to the situation if I retold this story. So I will let Kaylie tell it to you in a later posted blog. Its a good story.

We go about our business and we are too meet Shannon's parents at the Mall because Shannon is going back with them to Abilene to celebrate her 22 birthday. Happy Birthday Shannon.

We find them right infront of one of those hootchie cheap stores. You know what I'm talking about. They weren't shopping there, it was just our point of intersection. And we chat it up for a little bit with the Clarks and head to the car to get Shannon's stuff. And low and behold right infront of Dillards in Euless, Tx Christie's phone rings and as sure as a cat has nine lives...it is Bobbi Dixon on the other line.

After the exciting phone call from Bobbi we headed down 183 to the lovely city of Irving and ate a sandwich at potbellies and continued on our way to Dallas to eat at Sprinkles Cupcakes!! Shannon let us know that Katie Holmes has been spotted there in LA. To which Christie's sister replied..."yeah and Kim Kardashian eats at the Subway in Beverly Hills." Thanks Christie's sister.

So we travel amongs all of the stay at home moms with their matching velour sweatpants, hairsprayed hair and leather designer bags to taste the decadence that Sprinkles Cupcakes is.

Now here is where the story really gets good. We get in the car to find a way home and let's just replay the conversation...

Kaylie: Do you know how to get home?

Kelsie: Yeah, just go the way we came. Northwest Highway to 183 to Northeast mall. You can get home from Northeast right?

Kaylie: Yeah, but I feel like that's the long way. I'm sure there is a shorter way.

Kelsie: Ok, well just go out to Northwest Highway and we'll find a way.

Kaylie: Ok.............................................

Kelsie: ..................................................You need to get to 121 right?

Kaylie: Yeah I did this yesterday. Should I get on that high way?

Kelsie: No.

Kaylie: Where are we? Oh we ate here at LTC. --- calls her dad---

Kaylie: We dont know where we are.

Kaylie's Dad: Where's Kelsie?

Kaylie: She doesnt know either. We are on loop 12.

Kelsie: Why are we at Shady grove? Turn around.

Christie: Kelsie has no idea where she is.

Kelsie: I know exactly where we are. I just thought Kaylie didnt want to go that way so I was trying to make up another route for her.

Kaylie: I never said that. I just stated that it was the long way. But I thought you were still going to tell me how to get home.

Kelsie: I thought you knew when you said that 183 was the long way.

maybe the conversation didn't go exactly that way but thats the gist of it. and what would have taken us about 15 minutes took us 30 because of some serious miscommunication. So we get home and Kaylie's mom has made an amazing meal consisting of salad, carrots, rice and poppy seed chicken. It was delicious. And then we had Sprinkles Cupcakes for desert. To end our exhausting day Kaylie's grandmother read us Uncle Remus...check it out....

Good night.

I'm just preparing myself for what I have to lie on tonight.

A long over due post.
Lets recap an eventful weekend. Grab your popcorn and coke, its gonna be a long post.

Beginning around 11:00 Friday morning Kaylie left to go to her advising meeting at UTD. (congratulations on grad school) The rest of the house...that consisted of myself(kelsie), Christie and Shannon to leave later. Promptly at 5:07 the remaining Mansion Messengers got in the Outlander and I drove into the...well away from (we were going east) the sunset. The ride began quiet nice. I had my ipod in playing a compilation of beyonce, vampire weekend and mylie cyrus. Christie was zoned in her GRE study material (congratulations on grad school) and Shannon was in the back. Like a good driver I was paying attention to the road and can not accurately account what Shannon was doing to pass the time on I-20 from Abilene to Eastland. I do know that somewhere in the first 45 minutes of our drive our tummblies started rumbling and I had to get gas so we stopped at my usual spot, Eastland. We shot out of the car and reloaded our tummies at the very stereotypical gas station with some H2O and snacks. ANNND Back on the road.

Upon arriving to Weatherford the discussion insued about our dinner plans. Moral of the weekend...too many people talking causes great confusion. So I'm talking to Kaylie through Shannon and Shannon is talking on the phone to Kaylie and we are all trying to decide a food destination and phrases such as "I dont care you pick...somewhere like Chili's....sundance square is fun....and even they serve cereal??" were all said during the conversation. Finally we would meet in 30 minutes in Sundance Square. OOHH NO...have you ever parked in Sundance Square at 7:00 on a Friday? uh yeah its impossible to say the least. So thirty minutes later and a great tour of downtown we park in a shady garage by the Bass Preformance Hall on Calhoun St. and begin our trek to Uno's Pizza restaurant.

Oh and did we mention Prom? Thats who was taking up all of our parking spots. High School Seniors. Yes some prom in the Fort Worth/Dallas area was going strong this Friday night. Sundance Square was littered with thousands...ok maybe 50 high school seniors dolled up and looking way older than 18. Thus bringing about a conversation between Shannon, Christie and I about our Prom Dates from Hell. To all of the prom goers out there, we decided that bad proms are a right of passage. You do not successfully graduate from high school until you cry at the end of your prom. And the tears are not because your class' pick for the theme song was "End of the Road" by Boys to Men or "Moment like This" by Kelly Clarkson or the always tear jerker "Friends Forever" by Vitamin C. The tears come straight from the Jerk that you agreed to enjoy the evening with and match your dress to his cumberbund. Each high school senior must go into their prom with high expectations of a magical fairy tale night that lives up to the theme. Expectations as wonderful as "A night in Paris" "A night on the Red Carpet" "A moment like this" "Under the Stars in 2005" or "The Journey has ended but the memoris have just begun" when Prom really should be called "The night that your date dumps you and goes home with "the other girl""

Wow, that was quite a deviation from the story, i apologize.

So we get to Unos, eat, dine and be merry. Lauren meets up with us and we dine, eat and are merry some more. Finally deciding to leave we walk out and decide to go to Reata to eat dessert.
It was late and the "only thing they had" was first come first serve in the bar area on the roof. This is when the night really gets good. I have concluded that there is nothing better in this world than people watching Fort Worth night life.

Our first group...well, we'll call it a situation. Close your eyes...wait, dont close your eyes, you HAVE to read it. Just imagine...two guys and a girl. We figured that one of the guys and the girl are dating. But not dating like serious, like you know the akward middle age dating? That kind of dating. Like he picked her up at speed dating at the local community center and they are on about their fourth date. Lets call them Mark and Shelly. We think Shelly had a friend (the third wheel or other man). Maybe a close friend/co-worker or possibly maybe an ex boyfriend from way back that they both remain friends. That makes the situation even more akward. So Shelly and Mark are akwardly trying to be a couple nursing their bud lights and the other guy...Richard...eating a SICK appetizer off a chair with his leg wide spread...not a joke nor an exaggeration. Christie, Shannon and Kaylie were pretty stuck on people watching while Lauren and I observed the couple that I was practically a participant on their date I was standing so close to them. We think this might have been a mistress situation. The man was a lot older and the girl was alot younger and you could just feel the nastiness and fakeness of the both of them seeping through their conversation and caressing. So we look back down at Mark, Shelly and Richard and low and behold Richard has a counterpart. We'll call her Susan. And Richard is lighting Susan's cigar. SICK. He was lighting it in such a way that he was attempting to make a sleezy move but was holding back 100% of his sleeziness. I guess that changed because moments later Richard had moved in on Susan and had gone for the leg crossed and the arm around her. That didnt last long because within minutes Richard was back to his original position in his own chair with legs wide spread.

We finally got a table and devoured the amazing deserts that Reata had to offer us. Bed time comes early for us and we retired from Sundance Square about 11:30 or Midnight...but not before the Prom afterparty started at City Streets. We had to swim our way through literally two bus loads of prom goers to get to our cars. We did not drown in the swarm of 18 year olds, had a very confusing conversation about directions and made it to Kaylie's house to get some rest.

Disclaimer on the Disclaimer

ok, yeah i'm a creeper and made kaylie's baby...sorry kaylie.

Disclaimer

Disclaimer....side note....whatever. Dont judge me, I had fun making everyone else's babies but sneakster Kelsie did mine whenever she put up the blog. So I had no idea until I looked at the blog today. A little embarrassing. I'm not 'that' girl, so no judgement necessary. Thanks. Peace, Kaylie

Make Me Babies

So with the recent news that the newly married stars of 18 GAZILLION kids and counting....Josh and Anna Duggar (check it out TLC) are expecting a little bundle of Duggar love, Kaylie decided to see what all of our babies would look like.
Here is a compilation of them all.

Kaylie and JR's bundle of joys...

And Shannon and Al...welcome to your future...

( I think this one may be asian...or hispanic...)

The Morris clan and proud beaming parents Will and Kelsie...

We are so proud!!!

And Christie and Zac Efron...



And Christie with Nick Lachey...


Wow Christie I'm impressed with your baby making skills with Nick. Thats a pretty attractive duck you two produced.

Christie

hey christie....I left for the weekend....-Kaylie

Clue

So last Thursday the police log came out. I meant to get a copy but forgot and scrounged for one today in the Don Morris Building. Then I left it on the table when I dropped off my piece for the art show. But when I got home I went to the fridge to find some good munchies that I don't have and low and behold...someone beat me to it.

Let's recap the night...

Christie and I decided to be men and grilled burgers and ate them with Shannon and Al. We played a good game of Clue...(forshadowing really). Who knew that later that night the culprit would not be Ms. Scarlet in the lounge with the revolver but Mr. "Prowler" on the front porch with the chewbacca mask.

Anyway...Back to earlier that evening...Kaylie came home to tell us her creep of a story about being followed on the lonely roads of west Texas. I'm not going to lie...I was a little scared. The evening progressed. We played a good game of cranium, watched Madea's Family reunion and right in the middle there came a knock on the door. Kaylie got up looked out side and there he was in all his glory...Chewbacca. Christie followed and looked to see him covering the peephole. Now you know that feeling your whole body gets when you realize you are about to die? That complete numb feeling and your mind goes...I am about to be the headline story on KTAB tomorrow evening. Braid Sharp is going to tell the Big Country about 2302 Campus Court and their fateful deaths. The paralyzing fear that keeps you glued to the couch and the visions of what the dramatic reenactments are going to look like on Unsolved Mysteries fill your head. Yeah, we had that. Shannon called the cops and after a chase down Campus Court the culprits were caught and 2302 made the ACU Campus Police Log for a second time.

"Sunday April 5...12:03 AM Someone reported (that was us) a prowler (more like an idiot creeper) on Campus Court, and the ACU Police contacted (by contacted they mean chased down and gave a severe talking to) several students in a vehicle wearing masks (furry scary masks). The Subjects were playing a prank (uh...ok) and apologized. (yeah after the police put the fear of you know what into them and said they couldn't step foot on to our grass ever again). "

It was a good night.

ALIENS!!!!

So tonight I watched "The Day the Earth Stood Still", it was a great movie just one problem. Why does it seem like every alien movie is now about how humans are destroying the earth. Seriously, I feel like every alien movie is made by some crazy enviromentalist group trying to make some political statement!! So what is the statement??? That if globabl warming doesn't kill us, then the aliens will come down to earth to teach us a lesson? HAHAHA. Whatever happened to movies like "Independence Day" and "Mars Attack" where the aliens came down to earth and they were just evil and we killed them in the end. Hollywood should just keep it simple. However, they use movies to make political statements like: Global Warming, or about the War!! Get over it Hollywood, nobody cares what you think!!!!!!

Christie...i left for the weekend. see you sunday.

A Walk to Remember

Our lives here at the mansion are soon to come to a close. This time here shall truly be a walk to remember. Not that movie with Shane West and Mandy Moore, you know the one where she UNFORTUNATELY DIES in the end? This is a compilation of many moments, memories, and spouts of laughter, tears, and fits of rage closing to an end. Many moments have happened to make this a walk to remember. Moments like when Christie and Shannon's bathroom almost exploded with the gas leak. The petri dish growing in Kelsie's room. The mice that frequently visit and crap in Melissa's bed. The time that there was a man waiting at our door with a Chewbacca mask on and we called the ACU police came. "Now listen up CAMPERS" that was a night to remember. A walk. A walk with friends, A walk through the years of college. A walk that started at the end of adolescents and will end at the beginning of Adult hood. Congratulations room mates, we made it to the end. Pomp and Circumstance.
