TEN CONFESSIONS

[catelin]

Got this from my favorite doctor. Let's see if it cures what ails me. ; )

1. I tell people I weigh 112 pounds, when I really weigh 117.

2. When I was in 7th grade, I got teased for looking like a boy.

3. My daddy still calls me "Sissy."

4. Old Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young songs make me cry--for a lot of different reasons.

5. My relationship with my boys' father makes me feel like I am trapped in amber most days, but I'm really good at ignoring it.

6. I am the worst housekeeper in the world.

7. I'm too fickle for my own good.

8. I don't visit my grandmother, who my uncle put into a nursing home up in Dallas when I wanted her to be closer to where I live, nearly as much as I should.

9. I'm a much more fearful person than I ordinarily let on.

10. I really don't think that I'll ever meet a man who can keep up with me.

11. BONUS CONFESSION: I'm a sucker for smart, charming, unavailable men.

Were we...

twins separated at birth?

Heh! As far as I'm concerned, anyone that appreciates kudzu is kin. : )

You can't be worse at housekeeping than me! *shudder*

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Let's just say you're worse. That will make me feel better! ; )

Only 117, eh? ~smiles wickedly~

Oh, and please define "unavaliable." Heh.

Don't forget...I'm short. I wear that number differently than a taller person. As for your second request, I'll consult my memoirs and get back to you. ; )

So,,,,?

You seem perfect to me!

Re: So,,,,?

[catelin.livejournal.com]

You are as much of a gentleman as I suspected. Thank you. : )

Home wrecker

I always assume my house exists to make other people feel better about their own. To paraphrase Phyllis Diller, there's no point cleaning before the kids are grown -- like shoveling before the snowstorm stops.

Ha! That's great! Phyllis Diller slays me.

Dear Sinner:

THOU SHALT NOT COVET THY NEIGHBOR'S GOODS.

My landlord claims to have me by the balls with this lease. He is my neighbor. That would seem to make me unavailable. Please come behead him and free me to be with you.

For you, I'll even do it pro bono

[catelin.livejournal.com]

You don't need saving, my dear. You need some legal advice. Email me. I love screwing (metaphorically, of course) with landlords.

Cate, this is SO unrelated but I had to stop in to tell you that Ken is raving about your work. He said, "You know who is damned good? Cate. She is SO fucking good." I would have wrote you sooner after reading the work myself but Ken was left to handle everything DHJ this time while I took a break. Now I must go read your work myself. Talk soon, Anois

Oh!!

Now THAT just made my day!!! THANK YOU so much for telling me. I was feeling a bit down today and that nice surprise just zapped me out of it! Zoinks!! : )

[pageeater.livejournal.com]

Number 11 does it for me.
*adds Cate to friends list*

[catelin.livejournal.com]

*Ditto* : )

Hmmmm. Smart? Could be if I wanted to be.
Charming? Define charming.
Unavailable? nope. That's a double negative which means it is positive. I think.
Now why did I answer this?
