Cathryn's Story

Hi I answered some questions... How do I hope my friends remember me...as a fun outgoing person who loves to laugh. I have learned that...Life is a journey NOT a destination If I could improve my home...I would add a giant tub! I learned from my "kids"... Patience and the meaning of the word love! I love those two more than words can say. They are great men Tyler is 28 and Eric is 26. My mom died when I was 21 and because of that I learned to live life to the fullest. The other thing I learned from that is to appreciate the little things in life. She taught me a lot, and I still miss her. To be truly happy...I already am life is good. My current age is 48. When I was 12, I thought that people my age now would be old and boring. I was so wrong. My first crush was Jeff Wellen He had a great sports car. Oh!..and Dean Scarre, we were in 2nd grade together. My best friend would tell you I'm outgoing and always there when I'm needed. I would say I'm a hopeless romantic and a real goof ball. I still dress like I did years ago I wear heals with jeans. (I always wear heels.) I share my home with my Westie Cleo Mae, which I find agreeable because she has worse bedhead than I do. I dream of...Spending a month on the Rue Cler in Paris. I've been there twice and loved it. It's so relaxed. I'd walk my dog and drink wine or coffee at the sidewalk cafes everyday and just relax. We may need to travel to the south of France it is lovely too. My oldest friend and I are complete opposites she has to plan everything in advance. I'm more a fly by the seat of my pants girl always ready to go if there is something fun to do I'll find a way. Even though we may be polar opposites we have decided we must have been sisters in a former life. I love Kathleen. My brothers and I own a Cabin near the head waters of the Mississippi. We are two miles off the grid. We all get together there for parties, blowing up stuff whenever we can and deer season. I used to hunt deer because my son Tyler wanted me to. I liked to tell my boys "I go both ways"(It drove them nuts!) because I can spend a week out in the wilderness or dress up and be the belle of the ball. (*I like being in my jeans and heels best) My favorite way to relax in the summer....on a lake or in a lake w...Expand for more
ith a cold iced beer and lime juice. A little trick I picked up in Mexico. The wildest thing I did after High School...only Hugh will EVER know. If I was going to work somewhere it would be in sales...I know most people don't care for sales but I love it. I'm a people person so it fits me. I do need to respect the owners and believe in their product. I have always preferred to work for companies that were family owned. The jewelry store I managed was a chain of two hundred but I could still talk to the owner if I wanted to. I retired 12 years ago when I sold my business, a Coffee House. It was in Mankato's River Hills Mall. I worked after that for the fun of it at Shop In The City in Minneapolis. I loved the business and the family that owned it. I Like: Arranging Flowers. (I did the flowers for my niece Susan's wedding.) Baseball..I'm a Twins fan. Swing dancing! Reggae..Dance and clean and clean house! Rubber Duckies..They make me smile, my tub is full! Mr Bendy...my boys and I have always had fun playing hide and seek with him! Just about any food..I love to try new things..nothing alive when it goes in my mouth! Seeing new places..and learning new things. Sewing....Anything. Hanging out with my best bud/niece Caitlin she keeps me young at heart. I hope I always am. Reading..almost anything Must read: Schindler's Legacy, Schindler's Legacy, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and a lot more. Classic movies...A few favorites: Harvey (how to be happier), 12 Angry Men & Gentleman's Agreement (how to be wiser), Bringing Up Baby (keep an open an mind and roll with the punches you just might have fun!) The Bucket List, see it and you'll know why, Being There (intelligence test.) A few tidbits.... My "bucket list" includes a BMW Z3 two seater. I want to buy it down south Florida or Texas and drive it across country with the top down. And Travel Travel Travel! I am single again and very happy!!!! I moved to Minneapolis in 2010 and I love it! I have a condo near downtown there is so much to do here it's awesome! We just has our 30Th Class Reunion it was an epic weekend! The past year has been all about travel and friends. 2010 was fantastic and I think 2011 will be better! All the Best, Cathryn p.s. A shout out to my BFF....Thanks!
