Miscellaneous Monday on Tuesday

My sister-in-law, Jennifer has a great blog that I love to read!  She does this cool Miscellaneous Monday post – she posts 3 random facts about herself and then asks her readers to do the same.  Instead of commenting on her blog, I decided to post my own 3 random facts here and link to her blog so you can get to know her, too. (I was busy yesterday, so I’m just getting to this today)

1.  I was named by my older sister – she turned 8 about 1 month before I was born.  I think she picked Catherine because my Mom had a good friend with that name.  Bonus:  I’ve never gone by any nickname of Catherine.  Not Cathy or Cate or whatever.  The only person who ever got away with calling me Cathy without being corrected, was Steve’s late Grandmother.

2.  I was a Brownie in 1st grade.  I loved it, especially the play we did at the end of the year.  We met after school one day a week at 1st Baptist Church.  We would walk there after school…wouldn’t happen today, but I digress.  When the year was over, the leader had just had a new baby and couldn’t lead the group anymore.  Most of the other Moms – mine included – had full time jobs and couldn’t lead the group either.  Now that I think about it, I wonder why no one thought to have the group meet in the evenings…

3.  I’ve never “officially” broken a bone.  I cracked my collar bone when I fell backward off a split-rail fence and landed on my back.  And I broke the little toe on my left foot about a year ago, but never went to the doctor.  What’s the point..it’s not like they’d do anything about it.

So, there are my 3 miscellaneous facts…check out Jennifer’s here…
