The universe cracked a little this morning. An unholy alliance was cemented. Our world as we know it may never be the same.
The day began simply enough: I awoke at 9:30ish, a bit earlier than I like on a Saturday, but acceptable. And under the circumstances - well worth it. I showered, hopped in the car, and headed off. Beeki followed in her car because we suspected that she may have to leave sooner than I to go in to work. (This fortunately turned out not to be the case, but we had to be sure.)
Beeki recently took a part time job. She resigned her position at the local Catholic School and took a job at Ann Taylor Loft. (Every female reading this just shuddered with joy. Guys, don't try to understand it.) She resigned because she was recently accepted to the MFA Directing program at Jerusalem-on-the-Brazos U! Yeah, Beeki!
So anyway, where were we going? To Cafe Cappucino! It's a little oasis of wonderfulness here in Waco. They serve the most awesome pancakes and other breakfast foods. But why, you ask, were we going for brunch? We were going to meet up with Five Cent Stand, also known as Seth and Amber. Now we discovered some time ago that our four lives are weirdly intertwined. As we met over brunch, we hashed out even more odd connections. Amber and I were in musicals at JotB U Theatre together. So we knew each other before Seth was in the picture. He came to see our production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and fell in love with Amber. And Amber had been Beeki's camp counsellor when Beeki was a wee lass of 16, which was long before I was in the picture. Seth's sister and I studied voice under the same professor and I remember her. Freaky, huh?
So we had a lovely time visiting and getting to know each other in person. And the meeting of the minds that took place there was chilling. Look at our faces. Those evil grins hide secrets that will only be shared in time. Those faces are poised to take over the world! Tell me we don't look like twisted geniuses! The brilliance and madness is almost too much to bear!!! Bwaa haa haa!
But really, we had a wonderful time connecting and reconnecting. One mystery remains though: how the nut did two goofballs like Seth and me land smokin' babes like these:
Guys, I'm going to let you in on something here: being dashing and handsome is good. Being athletic and buff is wonderful. Being witty and brilliant is terrific. Being romantic and poetic is delightful. But in the end, these things will never prove nearly as effective as two classics: booze and diamonds. Look at the picture again, and heed the wisdom of my words, fellaz.

Ouch, man! What do you have against Baylor?
Posted on 6/04/2006
I'm at HBU! I have nothing against Baylor... I may well end up at Truett in a year or so...

Well, you'd be lucky to do so. It's a wonderful place.
Anyway, booze and diamonds...

You should write a musical called How to Land a Hottie without even Trying! (Just kidding!)
;)
You and the Beekster are both great catches!

Kat!
You are most definitely receiving an email the next trip to Wacko!.....
Actually, Seth and I suggested to Cach and Beeki that we give you a shout, but Cach said that it would be better for him to meet Seth first. Something about making sure Seth was godly enough to be seen with your beautiful family. I mean, he already knew it wouldn't be a problem for me, but Seth...
I think Cach really just wanted to make secret plans with Seth about taking over the world, while Beeki and I caught up on our lives since camp. You should definitely take it up with Cach. It's all his fault really. We tried....

Cheers, Beeki!
Here's to camp, delicious cappuccino, extremely large pancakes...and diamonds, and to the good 'ole alma mater.
And to swell husbands that might very well attempt to take over the world, but fortunately will fall short due to their endearing inability to cease blogging.
Had a fantastic time guys.

OOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!
Seriously, we actually missed getting to meet you! BUT, we will be back in a couple of weeks and then maybe we could have YOU and that fun family all to ourselves.
We saw a bunch of Antioch people while we were there and asked about you but we didn't know your last name... i tried the most common last names for those who go by the name of Kat, like : Inthehat, and Onahotinroof, and Cherandtherye, and of course Astrophic but alas... no one could help.
But seriously, we might be back in a few so maybe Cach can buy us all lunch??? The Grape??
BTW, about booze and diamonds,
it is also handy to have a bartender/chaplain handy after round three of "Virgin" margaritas.

HEY! I never said anything! Kat said she was doing a 5-year old birthday party on Saturday! I figured it would make her sad if we were all stuffing our faces with pancakes while she was desperately trying to pee alone! And I came so close to posting something about "just wait until next time when we're joined by a certain Kat..." but I didn't for some reason. Next time, it's on, Kat.

Cach...i thought you said you were loosing weight while i was away working for God on my paradise island??? What are you doing stuffing your face with pancakes???
My theory is that once you started using booze on beeki you never stopped...for the past 2 years she's been slightly intoxicated at all times....that's why she falls asleep on the couch everynight

Dude... don't blow my game! Why do you think she hasn't left? Be cool, man. Be cool.
Posted on 6/05/2006
Booze and diamonds...I knew there was a reason I don't drink much.

Hey, I married out of my league too, but I didn't use booze or diamonds.
I used the old "long-haired drummer in a rock band, acting cool and aloof" routine. Worked like a charm for me.
