Sticky, Sweet, & A Little Overdressed

I’m still sick. It’s gotta be from the flu shot. Just sayin’.

Artistic Talent?: Writing songs
Birthplace: Chicago Heights, IL
Career Aspirations at Age 6: Maybe songwriter, or maybe that came a bit later. Probably wanted to be a famous singer at that time, though.
Dreams, Reoccurring: Used to have one where I was in the living room of the house where I grew up, with a life-sized Skipper doll (Barbie’s little tomboy friend, remember her?) standing in one corner, and a snake floated slowly and smoothly into the room through an open window.
Elementary School, name of: Blackhawk grades K-3, Lakewood grades 4-6.
Fabrics and Materials, favorite to wear on body: Cotton, denim, and stretchy fabrics like Spandex.
Gym, work out at one?: Yes, every morning.
Happy Memory: Waterskiing from the back of the family boat.
Introvert or Extrovert?: Extrovert.
Jewelry/Trinkets Worn Regularly: A tiger eye and silver ring I made in a high school jewelry class. It’s one of my few treasured possessions.
Killer App, Favorite: I couldn’t say I have a favorite.
Latest Book Read: I think it was “I Don’t Know How She Does It.”
Medications (Rx), regular: None.
Nickname(s), current: Kate-o
Operating System of Choice (for desktop): Mac OS X, but I’m stuck with WinXP and Win2K.
Pets, current: Five lovely and hilarious cats.
Queer?: As a three dollar bill.
Role Models, current: A VP in the Ethics & Compliance department at the company where I work. She’s sharp as a tack but she has a very gentle and even somewhat quiet professional demeanor. I really admire that.

University Degree(s): B.A. in German.
Virginity, age lost at: Boys: 15. Girls: 19.

X-SOs you’re on speaking terms with, numbers/percentage of: I’m on speaking terms with all of them, as far as I know, but I only maintain regular contact with a small percentage. Let’s say 10%.
Yard/Rummage Sales, do you go?: Sometimes, but I prefer thrift stores, and I hit those very frequently.
Zen Moments: I feel most meditative when I’m running by myself and I hit a steady stride. I can turn my face skyward, breathe deeply and regularly, and feel the rhythm of my leg muscles pushing me forward. At those times, I feel peaceful, strong, and full of love and beauty. What more could anyone ask for?
