Is me.
Yep.
The girl who used to be “The Girl Who Can’t Stay Up Late” has now become “The Girl Who Won’t Go to Bed.”
I’m not really sure how it happened.
It seems like one day I was having a hard time staying up until 9:30pm, and then one day I just had to stay up until […]

When I was a very little girl, I would sing “Happy Birthday” to myself on my birthday.
It cracked my parents up because of my grammar:
“Happy birthday to myself,
Happy birthday to myself,
Happy birthday dear Cathy,
Happy birthday to myself!”
It’s July 20, 2006, and as of 8:38am CST, I officially turned 35 today.
I’ve had a great day [week] […]

You’ve probably heard the kids’ song/chant:
Rain, rain, go away!
Come again another day!
Just the other day, my girls and I watched an episode of “Dora the Explorer” that was centered around that very song, and the issue at hand.
Rain.
Over the years, I haven’t spend much time thinking about rain, save the occasional reflection on how […]

I really do. Love her to pieces.
And here’s two perfect examples of why:
Example 1 (A conversation in Julie’s kitchen)
Ju: “Are you tired?”
Me: “Yeah, I’m exhausted. Why?”
Ju: “Because you’ve got that tone.”
Me: “The one that’s really harsh and makes me sound like I’m being too hard on my kids?”
Ju: “Yep.”
Me: “Good to know!”
Very few people could […]

Every Sunday morning during the worship service, our associate pastor, Mike, leads the congregation in a time of greeting each other.
Because people are notoriously bad at knowing what to say during these impromptu welcome-sessions, he often prompts us with a conversation-starter.
His favorite method is to ask us a question that we are then […]

Apparently my reputation for typographical-error-intolerance is getting around.
I’ve officially been deemed “the typo Nazi” by Renee on The G Sides, my friend Grant’s blog.
At least I think it’s me she’s referencing.
It must be me, since I’ve corrected probably half-a-dozen typo’s and misspellings on Grant’s blog (all discreetly and graciously, of course. What? Comments are seen […]

…to see if I have correctly followed Paul Fundenburg’s instruction to correct the internal clock on this blog. Just under the title it should say, “Filed under: General, Catbird, Tidbits — at 10:07pm on Monday, July 17, 2006″
Here goes…
[Okay, so it worked. YAY! However, all the previous posts are not retro-fitted to the “new” clock…dangit! […]

I have no use for conditioner.
Why? Because my hair length ranges from half an inch (over my ears) to a whopping 2.5 to 3 inches (back of my head). I measured.
By the time my hair would be dry/damaged enough to need conditioner, it’s already been cut off. Twice.
Don’t believe me? Here’s a picture.
Told you so.
After […]

Actually, we had pork tenderloin with new potatoes and onions, leftover broccoli casserole and rolls.
But Jane helped me make supper, and when Jane helps, everything changes.
Here’s how it went:
Me: “Jane, why don’t you hold the pork tenderloin (in the wrapper) while Mommy gets out the potatoes to peel.”
Jane: feeling the cold, uncooked tenderloin through the […]
