I don’t know about you, but I am a pretty nosy person. Hence the 30,959 blogs that I stalk follow, not to mention the twitter accounts and Facebook profiles. I love me social networks. Always letting me peek into other’s lives without them really knowing… If you want to know some more about me that you won’t find from my social networks, here are the FACTS of me.
Here I am. My name is Caitlin but I’m sometimes called Catalyn.
I am 27 years old, but I look 22, and I like to act like I am 20.
I am married to the most awesome guy that I met on a cruise when I was 17. I think he is the funniest guy in the world…and sometimes I wish I could be as funny as him.
I am from Connecticut. I live in Maryland. I miss Connecticut.
I teach first grade.
It is the hardest thing I have ever done!
I say a lot of cuss words… cussing is the same as swearing. I used to call it “swearing,” but since I moved away from CT and got all Southern, now I say cuss. I told my mom she was a “effin hooker” because they are getting Snowstorm Jove and we aren’t. She told me, “Takes one to know one.”
That’s my sister, my mom, and me..all being hookers at my wedding.
I went to the University of Connecticut for two years and then transferred to Tennessee. When I got there, I decided I wanted to be a Southern Belle. So I dyed my hair blonde, signed up for unlimited tanning, and bought 3 pairs of Citizens of Humanity jeans.
Blonde hair, orange skin, and expensive jeans do not make you Southern. They make you ugly.
O. Em. Gee. FASHION POLICE?? WHERE WERE YOU?
I thought I was SO Southern. Nice fake Chanel earrings…and Natty Light.
I love to drink wine. I used to only drink wine on the weekends… but now I drink it during the week after I have had a day filled with kids saying “I’m gonna kick your effing a” and punching each other. I would drink it every day, but I know wine will make me ugly.
I have a lot of stomach problems, so I burp and youknowwhat. I am probably really pleasant to be around. I can’t eat a lot of things – red meat, french fries, potato chips, anything dairy (except cheese – don’t ask me why), turkey, deli meat, anything fried…the list goes on and on. That is why I am skinny. Not because I workout a lot, or because I have an eating disorder, or because of genetics. It’s honestly because most foods don’t stay in my body for very long.
I have a really good relationship with my family (in-laws included!). However, the relationships I hold with my Mom’s side of the family is quite different than others.
Example: Yesterday my sisters and I were group texting inappropriate pictures to one another. And we forgot my Mom was on the group text. And she told us we were going to be arrested for nudity.
We all had a good laugh and I sent my mom an upclose picture of my butt.
I think I am a pretty good dancer. I took dance for 11 years and tapped on a tap team in college. However, now that I am old, I go to Zumba to perform. And then when I drink I perform my Zumba dances for family, friends, and strangers at the bar – much to my husband’s protests and dismay.
I can’t carry a tune. My grandma told my mom when I was 3 that I was “lucky to be cute, because I sure couldn’t sing.” My terrible voice does NOT stop me from kareoke (one of my new favorite hobbies). When I sing kareoke, I pretend I am Whitney or Britney and belt my heart out. And then I pretend people are watching and saying, “Wow that girl is SO good.”
I am very dramatic. Like I cry and yell and sometimes make non-important situations seem like they are really important. If I was a better actor, I bet I could be famous. But..like I just said, I am not a good actor.
I am too truthful with emotion.
Also, I can be really mean. By this point in my life, I am surprised, but also very happy, that I have not ever gotten into a physical fight with anyone. I have tried to, but usually my husband was there to pull me back. Being dramatic, protective of my loved ones, a bit defensive, and once called “the girl with the curl…,” I can you tell you right now, I wouldn’t mess with me if I were you. {insert evil Grinch smile}
Lastly, I wish my cat liked to be dressed up more.
Bahahaha this post makes me love you even more!!! Your amazing!!
Girl…I think I’m your Southern counterpart! Former first grade teacher, definite Southern Belle, and I have a mean streak 😉 I used to proclaim that I was wearing my ass kicking boots when I was in a bad mood! Love the post!
YES I found my doppelganger… except we don’t look alike… we just have the same life!
I’m reading! I’m reading!
I had those fake Chanel earrings. And many nights with Natty Light.
And fake college tans.
I’m also dramatic. And more in love with you now than ever. So, there’s that.
Hahahahaha! I LOVED this! I think I also tried being a Southern Belle. Even I signed up for tanning. I KNOW!! What was I thinking?!
I laughed throughout this post. Especially at the prospect of being arrested for nudity and called out by your mom.
I like dramatic people, but not drama queens. I think they’re different. I can be dramatic myself!
I TOTALLY agree on the drama queen thing. Yuck. Now…”emotional” dramatic is fine with me haha.
I literally LOLed while reading this which is a hard thing to get me to do. You crack me up. You had me at being a “hooker at your own wedding”. xx
Yay I am so happy I made you laugh! I probably should’ve mentioned that I didn’t remember taking that picture…
New Follwer!! I found you on this fun link up! When you have time.. stop over at http://www.kjaggers.com.. And if you like what you see.. follow back! Happy Tuesday!
I went and followed you! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog!
I like how we both ended our posts with our pets wearing clothing. I wish my dog liked clothes more. He just acts like he’s paralyzed.
It’s fate! My cat walks all weird, somehows works his way out of the hat (he has 3), and usually ends up pooping on the floor shortly after.
I like this link up idea!
You sound a lot like me! Pretty sure we’d be friends if we lived closer!
Taryn
Aw boo! I love new friends! Move to Maryland!
Completely loved this post! Love the honesty!
P.S. After all this what am I happy about?!?! Phew! Thank God she can eat cheese! Haha. It’s like another food group for me, and I was happy for you. Hahaha! Thanks for the laughs….daily!
Hahahahaha! I honestly didn’t list everything – there is SO much more it is just obnoxious. BUT the cheese…it makes up for everything.
New follower from the linkup. Love your facts! 🙂 I also love wine, and I am totes envious of your relationship with your mom. Pretty sure my grama [she is pretty much my mom] would dieee if I said those things to her haha!
Pretty sure we’re new best friends. Just sayin’.
You have me rolling!! Hilarious! Oh and I got my Starbucks card today!!! Can’t wait to use it!! Thanks girl!
bahaha! Love your hooker pic from your wedding! Especially the fact that your mom is in it!

hahaha love this post and your blog! You’re hilarious! And I love wine and drink it on the reg. Newest follower here 🙂
Loved reading these fun facts and getting to know you! 🙂
I LAUGHED at your comments, I call my mom a fucking hooker too! I wonder if it’s a Connecticut thing? I also have a standard greeting that I use with my sister (and her with me): “Hey whore, how’s the whoring going, slut?” Maybe your sissy would appreciate it too? 🙂
