Cat, I want to see you perform with the elephants! Now that I’m back from the MOST WONDERFUL HONEYMOON IN THE WORLD, and married to the SEXIEST, SWEETEST, YUMMIEST, SMARTEST, MOST DELICIOUS, MOST AMAZING IN THE UNIVERSE, I just know I can talk Kirk into coming to see the circus!
Janet, you and Dan can have our boat, the Joanna, any weekend you want, and I won’t take no for an answer! It’s docked up at Pickwick, and you can just go up there and veg out in the great outdoors, or you can take it anywhere you want. As much as I ADORED sailing for three months, I’ll have to admit that I’m glad to finally be on terra firma.
Molly, use lots of balloons and plenty of champagne and maybe even a carousel, but no live animals. Remember my fifth birthday party where Grandfather Deerfield had live ponies that pooped everywhere!
Belinda, I want to see your big baby belly!!! I can’t wait to have one of my own! Kirk wants to wait, but it’s only because he thinks I need time to enjoy my freedom from the school and the nuns. He’s still lovably stubborn, but so am I. I may just have to poke a hole in his condom!
Big Hugs!!!

Re: Hole in the condom
Joanna, if you poke a hole in the condom, don’t tell another soul except the Dixie Virgins! Your secret is safe with us!
Cat, you don’t have to perform unless you want to! I know the costume is cute, but for God’s sake, what were all those years of school in veterinary medicine for? You’re so smart in so many ways, I’ve always pictured you having your own clinic. Janet did it with pediatrics, and I know you can, too!
Still, listen to me, dishing out advice when I’m the one who needs it! Russ is ready to have a baby, and though I want kids and told him so, I still can’t get past my own daddy leaving Glory Ethel to raise Sam and me all by herself. Oh, I know I’ve made up with Taylor Adams, but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten.
So help! What am I going to do?
Hugs,
Bea

Re: Pregnant
Bea, do not get pregnant just because Russ wants you to. That’s the worst reason in the world to have a baby! Start another ad campaign, tell him you’re too busy to think about anything else till that’s over.

Re: Baby
Bea, I don’t agree with Janet. Once the baby is growing inside you, you’ll simply fall in love, and nothing else will matter!

Re: Ditto
Ditto what Janet said. Sorry, Belinda! We’re independent women, remember! You don’t even have to make up an excuse. Just tell him no.

Re: Fun
Bea, tell him you’re having waaay too much fun to get pregnant yet. Make sure you’re in the bedroom when you tell him, and be sure to have on your sexiest outfit. Then show him how much fun he’ll be missing if you get pregnant right now!
Molly

To: Bea, Janet, Joanna, Molly, Belinda, Catherine
Re: baby
I’m the worst one to advise, Bea. My temperature is up, it’s the middle of my cycle, I’ve put silk sheets on the bed and doused myself with Michael’s favorite perfume and he’s racing home from the studio! Later!

Re: Virginia
Bea, LOVE Molly’s advice. Turn Virginia loose on Russ and he won’t know whether he’s coming or going!
Cat, have you found a Mr. Perfect yet? Oh, I DO HOPE you find him soon. Your Virginia will thank you!
Joanna
Cat was smiling when she shut off her email. As much as she wanted to find Mr. Right, she had to take care of a four ton elephant with a tummy ache.
