The Kat House

I hate moving. I sold my old house and bought a new one nearly a year ago, and I really hope that’s the last time I ever have to move. I did it the hard way – loaded up my car and made about a thousand trips back and forth between the old house and [...]

My new cell phone has taken to calling people without my knowledge. When I got to work this morning, I noticed that it had made calls during the drive. To those who may have answered and heard a radio show about bridesmaids who are never brides, I offer my sincere apologies. And if you happened [...]

Today was the big day. I took, and passed, my PHR exam! It was the most unpleasant, as well as the most rewarding, experience of my life. I finished with a gigantic headache and an hour and a half left on the clock. I should receive my score within two to three weeks. At this [...]

I just got off the phone with AT&T technical support. For some reason, my cell phone refused to make or receive calls. After trying everything imaginable, the tech asked me to walk outside with the phone. I started to tell her to hold on while I got dressed, but I figured that was one of [...]

Contrary to popular belief, I actually do have a life outside my blogs. I somehow manage to squeeze it all into the three or four hours per day that I’m not cranking out posts. Okay, so I don’t quite blog that much, but I would if I could. My blogging has suffered lately, and for [...]

I have somehow managed to get through my adult life without an electric can opener. My hand crank opener has worked just fine all these years. And with more and more cans coming with pull top lids, I’ve been in no hurry to make the upgrade from manual to electric. As I was out shopping [...]

My friend Elliot and I spent the day at Dollywood yesterday.  We checked out the shops, went to the Eagle Sanctuary, fed ducks, and rode lots of rides.  I usually have neck problems after riding the coasters, so I really asked for trouble yesterday.  I rode the Blazing Fury, the Thunderhead, the Tennessee Tornado, and [...]

Mention his name, and big burly men cower in fear. He’s a legend around these parts- fortunately, one I’ve yet to confirm the existence of. He guards the gates of the county dump, but he may as well guard the gates of Hell. Lucifer himself couldn’t strike as much terror in the hearts of the [...]

Last night a friend and I had a lengthy discussion about crushes.  In particularly, we discussed just when a crush is more than a crush.  After much thought, I have decided to publish my conclusions. Let us first define the word “crush”.  In my opinion, a crush is an admiration from afar.  Though crushes vary [...]

Contrary to popular belief, I actually do have a life outside my blog.  I even go out in public every now and then!  Just ask Black Atticus.  He spotted me at Knoxville Center Mall a couple of months ago.  Imagine my surprise when I heard someone yell, “ChattieKat!”  He totally blew my cover, and by [...]
