“The ones I like? I keep ‘em in a bucket.”
Hello, good morning, I am so sore I can barely move.
But really.
We arrived back into town Sunday evening and I’ve spent most of the time since then trying to figure out how to eat dinner, brush my teeth and get into bed without actually moving any muscles. This would be because I can’t actually move a large majority of them. My only comfort is knowing that, in dorm rooms and apartments not too far from me, there are 14 other girls also unable to, you know, move their bodies.
Why, you ask? Well, it’s just cause WE WENT TO AN INDOOR WATER PARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And you better believe I’ll be back tomorrow morning to tell you all about it, but in the meantime, Cousin Cate was gracious enough to share her thoughts on last week’s blog topic in the form of video because, really, it’s too hard to try to capture her accent in writing.
Things you may notice whilst viewing:
1. Neither Cousin Cate nor I can seem to bring ourselves to actually, you know, say the word s-e-x on camera, mainly ’cause her mama might be watching. And you do not mess with Mama Susan.
2. At one point we start talking about the guy who once infamously told us that he was looking for three simple requirements for in a potential girlfriend: she must be single, Christian and disease-free. I cannot even begin to tell you how many times we have randomly looked at each other and simply said “you gotta be disease-free” before dissolving into laughter. But then again, it takes very little to make us laugh. Please see here. And here. And, um, here.
3. Please note Cousin Cate’s “that should be BIBLICAL!” dance. It is not to be missed.
4. The part where I say I would just jump in the pond and grab myself a fish with my bare hands? Why yes, I do believe that might be a (slight! VERY SMALL!) indication that I might need to work on a little thing called patience.
5. “Desperation is not sexy.” Enough said.
6. Please, please help us come up with a good name for our soon-to-be-discovered reality show or I’m afraid it really will end up being called Fried Green Fruitcakes. Which, you know, may actually be appropriate.
7. If anyone else needs me to grab ‘em a fish while I’m in the pond, let me know.
You guys are so funny. Can’t wait to see that reality show!
Umm yes please grab me one while you are in the pond.
Ehrm.
Oh my did I laugh out loud at this one! You two crack me up…and I would totally watch your reality show.
What do we have to do to make this reality show a…um…reality? Because I will come video you two myself. You are hilarious.
Ya’ll are just TOO hilarious.
I love the way Cousin Cate talks. You girls have such cute accents.
You can catch an extra fish for me please Amy Beth, you seem pretty skilled, and I completely trust you in catching me a good one!
Best Cousin Cate video yet! Please let me know when you plan on having this revival at Target. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings work for me.
I totally think it should be The Good Girls Club!
I love it! Cousin Cate as usual is hillarious!
XO
I just wanted to stop in and say congratulations for being one of the Internet Cafe’s Top 100 Christian Women’s Blogs of 2008! Your blog truly does bless!
If no one will sign you for your own reality show, please commit to having weekly installments of the bloggy version. They are good enough for me.
I am here bustin a gut … hubby is looking at me from across the room wonderin what I am watchin and I have no idea how to explain it to him. Which makes me laugh all the harder!
y’all are so funny! That would be so funny if someone recognized you from your blog and joined in on the video:) Y’all are crazy:)
I love you anyway and would watch that reality show just to see you jump in the pond to catch some men,,,errr,,,fish:):)

You’re so right about the accent! Just adorable!
Now, if I can just figure out how to make sure this one I’ve got doesn’t jump out of my bucket…
yall are too much! standing in target with her bible and a fishingpole!
I thought I would stop by and say I give God the glory for what you’re doing in Christ being recognized on your blog in the Internet Cafe.
God bless you as you keep your heart close to HIS.
Dear ab, I know I haven’t talked you in quite a while and that is mainly bc I can’t remember your email address. but I just wanted to let you know that i will most likely not be needing you to grab me a fishy because I was out on the pond the other week just trailing my little fingers along in the water while a paddled around in the row boat. and well a wonderful fishy with good morals and a killer grin swam right on up to me. and while it is not yet official, he’s the only little fishy in my bucket and he’s swell.
I needed this today. You girls are definitely your own Southern variety show.
AB, I’m glad you’re talking about this stuff. I’m joining you on the blog bandwagon to talk about the uncomfortable stuff!
Let’s discuss!
um, no words can describe the smile plastered on my face right now!!! Cate, you are my favorite!!!!!! I LOVE YOU.
Show Name:
Gone Fishin’
