Hi Jim! I thought I’d get details about Katie today. Wrong. Barbara didn’t say a thing. She doesn’t know that we know. And Roberta said Tommy is back at Christine’s. Again. Your Uncle Cappy had a little accident chopping wood today. [Again} He cut off a big chunk of his thumb. Sandy followed the ambulance to the hospital and hit a Fed-Ex truck and totalled her car. That’s not all. She suffered bruises to her heart, and is in the hospital. Cappy was released. He’s home, with Emily and baby of course. We’ll know more tomorrow. Say a prayer for all of them. Love, Mom xoxoxoxoxo

Sounds like the Kennedys.

My family is so boring by comparison.

is katie barbara’s secret lesbian girlfriend?
this post is full on intrigue!
June 5, 2008 at 2:16 pm
What’s the deal with Katie, and why is Tommy being back at Christine’s a big deal? Inquiring minds want to know!
I hope everything ends up okay, especially with the woman in hospital…
June 5, 2008 at 5:21 pm
Seriously, this is as juicy as the Baby Daddy thing!
June 5, 2008 at 9:11 pm
Doesn’t this deserve to be relayed in a phone call?

my fave part: that she follows a couple sentences with ! I love it.
June 6, 2008 at 12:53 pm
OK..so apparently I’m a dolt – here’s what my comment was supposed to say : my fave part: that she follows a couple sentences with “again”! I love it.
June 6, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Okay, since Baby Daddy has wound down…I think this is our replacement….updates please???
June 6, 2008 at 2:37 pm
this smacks of fiction…this crap is too soap opera to be real.
June 8, 2008 at 2:52 am
Actually it sounds like something I hear when I go visit my grandmother, only different names. Though maybe not the Fed-Ex truck bit…
June 8, 2008 at 1:49 pm
Woah… is this from my family? I love the “Your uncle Cappy had a little accident chopping wood today. (Again.)” part.
June 15, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Holy $#!#
June 18, 2008 at 2:23 pm
This is Jim and that “Family Updates” email is from my Mom.
The secret mentioned is that my 16-year old cousin, who had a baby last year, is pregnant AGAIN. (I promise I am not from Appalachia!)
Uncle Cappy healed well but his thumb now stops half-way up his thumbnail. Very, very odd to look at. And Aunt Sandy spent the night in the hospital and recovered from her bruised heart.
I promise to share more stories of my White Trash version of Dynasty in the future.

wait….I’m going to get the popcorn……
