Happy Birthday Cathie


My sister in law Cathie turns 37 today. Here are 10 things you might not know about her:

10. Cathie is one of the few people in the world who actually bought one of those freezer bags from the store. She asked the cashier how the bag knew when to keep things warm and when to keep them cold.
9. Cathie has had many hair-do's over the years and an occasional hair-don't.
8. Cathie is great at many things, driving is not one of them. She has been in more accidents then any three people I know (good thing I don't know Evel-Knievel).
7. Cathie has a secret love of antique furniture. Her collecting specialty is 1970's dressers.
6. If Cathie could invite six famous people over for dinner, whether they be dead or alive, she would chose: Chris Rock, Bernie Mac, Chris Tucker, Eddie Murphy (Norbit Eddie not Dreamgirls Eddie), Martin Lawrence and Jesus.
5. Cathie hates seafood. While all the sibling were vacationing in Las Vegas a few years ago we had the most amazing buffet at The Bellagio hotel. We all dared Cathie to eat a tiny piece of shrimp. She actually threw it up.
4. The Chicken Noodle Soup song and dance is Cathie's favorite. Often she can be found at local dance clubs with her friend Dana doing "da soup".
3. Cathie never answers the phone when I call. Beth and I sometimes call knowing full well that Dave is gone on business just to see if she will answer. We place bets on the outcome. We call late enough that her kids must be in bed, so she has to be home.
2. Cathie has a very loving heart and I have never heard her say a bad word about anyone, except for the lady who faux painted her family room. The lady never mentioned to Cathie that the faux paint could be removed by leaning up against it or staring at the wall to hard.
1. Cathie was the first person in the family, other then my parents, to meet Beth. She sat at a table with Beth at Dan and Kris's wedding (our second date). Dave and Cathie had recently gotten engaged and Beth says that is ALL Cathie talked about, to the point of absurdity. Beth would try to change the subject but anything Beth mentioned whether it was , music, the spread of AIDS or the First Gulf War, Cathie would somehow manage to bring it back to her wedding plans.

You forgot to add that Cathie is Amish.
