The entire time I was in college, I never went on a Real Date.  Sure, I went on dates (emphasis on the lowercase “d”).  Dinner out with a guy “friend” who said we should “hang out” and ended up buying the meal because “I’d never let a girl buy a meal.”  But never a Real Date. And, [...]

Today’s Friday’s Face is none other that the beautiful Kate.  You’ll see very quickly why we call her “Kate with a K!”  Or, Kate con K, when we’re feeling all Espanol-like. Which is rare considering that most of us in Starlite are still trying to master the English language.  Ahem.  With that painful admission, I [...]

I am ever so sorry to interrupt you from reading all about my hair, but I have a VERY important question to ask you.   And by “very important question” I am, of course, alluding to the fact that I am about to ask you about my hair. You’re welcome. Here is the situation: That Boy called tonight to finalize [...]

It is the moment you have all been dreading waiting for… I shall now answer your questions about our ministry my hair.  And, just to keep you interested, I included a couple of questions that came in about Starlite. But just a couple.  I wouldn’t want our priorities to get out of order. And so, here we [...]

When I posted yesterday asking if the interlings had any burning questions for me, I was afraid no one would actually respond.  I did not, however, begin to imagine the questions that would pour forth from you.  Or, you know, that they would be primarily about my hair. But, lest you think I am ungrateful [...]

Even though I graduated from college this past December, I still get the mass emails that go out to students.  I feel so old.  And yet, I’m not. Anyway.  I recently got an email explaining that the school would be offering free assistance to those students needing help filing their taxes.  After listing the times and [...]

Hello.  It is currently 7:56 a.m. in my lovely area of the world.  I woke up at 4:30 a.m. this morning completely unable to go back to sleep.  This is not the funnest time of my life. Is funnest a word?  If not, can I blame it on the medicine or is Cate going to [...]

I am quite ashamed to admit that the following actual dialogue took place in my doctor’s office this morning.  It is important to note that Dr. Mike has been my physician for almost six years — so, he knows me pretty well.  And, apparently, feels that he is my very own personal date police. Ahem.  [...]

Three things that are on my mind this Monday morning: 1. I’m headed back to the doctor’s office this morning because I just can’t shake whatever this junk is — perhaps still the “pre-flu?”  And no, I still don’t believe that’s a real condition.  Which leads me to this question: what will I do if [...]

She turns the thermostat to “off” all the time ’cause she likes to live like a polar bear.  I wait ’til she’s asleep and then turn it back to “heat.” She tries on no less than 10 outfits before deciding on jeans and a sweatshirt from the bottom of the pile.  I tried to copy [...]
