The Catherinette Chronicles

This feels like some kind of dance, and I’m not sure who’s leading.  I don’t want to step on his toes and cause him to pull away.  I want him to take my hand, to lead me and show me how to follow him.  If only it were that easy.  But how do I get [...]

Before making the decision to go and see Doctor Slightly Evil (DSE), I did what any other 12 year old girl would do: I talked to anyone who would listen to fish for answers.  Georgia, Lola, and One Date Wonder said don’t go.  Muffy, my mom, and Claude said I should go.
Claude is a boy.  [...]

I did end up making a bad decision last night, it just wasn’t the one I was hoping it would be.  It happened early in the evening and it made strange and awkward things happen.  Georgia, One Date Wonder, and I were scheduled to meet at 7:30.  Since I suffer from the terrible “perpetually early [...]

You all know that I make “smart” choices.  Please enjoy my 2 most recent ones:

Agreeing to take my nephew to Day Out with Thomas the Tank Engine.  Imagine several hundred screaming kids all fired up about getting to ride Thomas.  Only it’s not really riding Thomas.  It’s riding Light Rail trains that are so freaking [...]

I’ve always had a way with small children. When I was younger my main source of income was from babysitting. Okay, that’s a lie. My parents were really generous and I had a very large allowance. However, I did babysit a lot as I was fond of kids.
Here we are years later and I have [...]

There are 3 indicators that this is going to be a very bad day:

I sauntered into the office 30 minutes late today because we had been told that all the managers were going to be in an off site meeting today.  Turns out that the “off site” part was cancelled and now it’s just being [...]

We all have good days.  We all have bad days.  I know the way my day will turn out based on how many meetings I have scheduled, and what time they start.  Today, my first of 5 meetings was scheduled for 8:00 AM.  Awful day straight ahead!  What makes it even worse is that I [...]

Like many of us singletons in the 21st century, I made the choice to dabble in a match making service. All my married friends-and my mother-encouraged me to do it. I heard heartening things like: “It’s not like you’re having success meeting anyone doing it your way,” or “You’re not getting any younger and the [...]

Catherinette Singleton has a big crush.  An all-consuming-having-trouble-sleeping-losing-my-appetite-want-to-sing-and-then-to-weep crush.  My date with a still un-nick-named gentleman is tomorrow night.  We are meeting out for drinks and we’ll see how it goes from there.  There have been some emails-laugh out loud funny emails.  There’s been a phone call.  We’ll meet tomorrow and see how it goes.  He’s [...]

This is what my ex looks like with his head on Wilford Brimley’s “hot” body. I’ve added a pretty little red bow tie to show how he looks when he dresses up. It’s a wonder that we didn’t work out. Not sure what he’s holding in his hands, though if I had to guess I’d [...]
