Melinda Whitten

Melinda is the mother of four wonderful kids and wife to a highly aggravating (accurate) but lovable attorney (oxymoron?).  While shopping to feed their crew she also has the opportunity to purchase crickets and mice to feed her son’s diversity of reptiles; two snakes, three lizards, one frog, and one tortoise. 

 

She has since stopped reading the book “Encouraging your Einstein’s Interests” and is currently using it to hold down the lid on the cricket cage.

 

Melinda earned the title “drama queen” at the age of six when she convinced her parents that her brothers caused a bald spot on her scalp with their “overly vigorous noogies”. 

 

After following her dream of receiving a Bachelors of Fine Arts from Baylor University and becoming a very successful starving artist, she married her high school sweetheart and fulfilled another dream, becoming a frazzled mother.

 

Melinda and Carrie met and became fast friends nine years ago while pregnant with their last children.  They enjoy arguing over who endured the more difficult pregnancy (it was Melinda of course!) and quickly began writing and performing the comedy that is their lives.  God continues to bless their families, friendship and ministry with plenty of humor, a few tears, and a lot of love. 

 

Carrie Varnell is a thirty-something stay-in-her-car mom. She has three children- Rachel 10, Graham 8, and Randy 37. She is not nearly as crazy as Melinda when it comes to pets having only 2 dogs, Rosie and Sydney, and 1 gerbil, Squeeky.

 

There were two other gerbils, but Gigglebubble met her demise when she escaped and the dogs thought she was one of their toys (Yorkies and gerbils don’t mix) and poor Honeymuffin suffered a brain injury during one escape which triggered a loss of self-control when it came to eating. She eventually died from a food overdose.

 

When Carrie is not trying to explain to her children why you can’t just go to the bank and get more money or why you can’t have a cookie thirty minutes before dinner, she works as The Skit Guys Script Consultant and Online Manager. She also has several scripts available at www.skitguys.com.

 

You can find out more about her and her family so you’ll know what you’re getting into at http://blog.deeperside.com/.

 

Carrie has a degree in Theatre Arts from Ouachita Baptist University. Her mom and dad are so happy that she is finally putting it to some good use. While she was in college they prayed that she would at least marry well. She did, in fact, to a wonderful man, Randy. He makes computer games for a living and daily reminds her that he needs an X-Box for “research”. No, I’m not joking.
