Newlyweds Cathy and Irving navigate the treacherous waters of couple-hood. From pampered pets to prying parents, they’ve got a lot to learn! Wedding or not, it’s still all about Cathy - she personifies the young career woman and her typical daily obstacles. Ice cream, panic attacks, stress and love are all in a day’s work. We read, we identify, we laugh. Who could ask for more?
Cathy is the Everywoman. She deals with diets, self-esteem, in-laws, and letting her husband know that she is the boss. Everyone can identify with her shopping, bills, taxes, planning for the future and coping with her husband’s incessant computer golf games. Whether you are a newlywed, single, or have been married for decades, all will enjoy the daily predicaments of Cathy and Irving.

Aha, the saleswoman at the mall is moonlighting as a waitress.
I’m glad you’re home again, Aaron.
I’ll still pray for you.
Good morning to the rest of my fellow “Cathy” nuts.

Hello Aaron, glad you got to go home. We all missed you. Funny how some things never change! In spite of the government push to “eat right”, people still insist on selling huge portions to you. I don’t get it either.

Splitting the dessert also doesn’t count for calories. I didn’t know about seconhand calories though. Cool idea. Billy and I will swap desserts next time. (Even though I’m about 120lbs and mate Billy is 165lbs a sleekness).
Morning ladies who came before me. It’s good be back with you all too. Morning late arrivals. Afternoon / evening to our other Cathyite family through the day. I finally discovered the only one downside to living in a multi-level townhouse. Stairs are now mountains to be conquered. Wow.

So glad you made it home Aaron! I know what you mean about stairs, but for me it’s age, not injury. Hope Gabe is back home and doing okay as well.

“Secondhand calories” don’t count"? Denial, thy name is Cathy! MAJOR EYEROLL THAT CAN BE SEEN FROM THE SPACE STATION

Now I can see where Cathy gets her craziness. It runs in the family.
Welcome back, Aaron. Great to have you with us again.
@legaleagle48
LOL!
Happy Sunday to all.

There are these motorized chairs that attach to banisters.
Makes going up and down easy.

Whoops I forgot to comment today… I agree with legaleagle. Secondhand calories do count. You’re delusional, Cathy, and probably also think that if you’re on vacation they don’t count either….
Hello, serenasakitty, Susan, gmforde, BJIllistrated, legaleagle, rgcviper and all the rest of you “lurkers” (hee hee, I can seeee you…. ;-))!
And of course, welcome back to Aaron!!! I saw your post last night and was thrilled you’re back! I hope you can set up something on one floor of your house until you get better at going up and down the stairs. Sending healing powers and hugs your way…
Hello to GretchensMom, Billy, lindz.coop, hendelca, Mona, kittycatpawsare, soonergal, lippyfish, Mai Tai, Willi Nilli and everyone else who passes this way today!!

& Susan too — as one who won’t / can’t be babied in rehab, the stairs are going to be part of my physical therapy. Right now my hip is oh so tender. The ‘no pain, no gain’ mentality of old is long dead. My PT crew says that pain means slow down a bit and try again tomorrow. But the stairs will help me reduce my PT time at the clinic.
For now, I won’t go the stairs alone. That’s one reason Billy’s folks are here — to make it better for me during rehap. Even LMB understands I’m hurt. He whimpers a bit when he sits next to my right hip or is in my lap. I hold him on my tummy instead and then he’s fine.

Okay Scotty, time to beam me out of Cathyland. There’s no intelligence there.
But I do like the idea of secondhand calories. Aaron and I always share desserts, but this is nice if I finish off someone else’s when eating out with other friends.
hi mom!

Oh, Cathy, I absolutely love your philosophy on second hand calories.lol

Good night lindz.coop and night owl friends. LMB is enforcing our curfew. You know how it is.

Sorry I didn’t make it on for the BIG NEWS yesterday — we got home at 2:00 in the AM. My nephew had an art “opening” with his first major work in an art show and it’s 2 hours from home. He was so excited!!
And now I’m very excited to hear that Aaron is home!!!! So glad you can be on the mend in comfortable surroundings — with excellent caregivers (especially LMB, Billy and his wonderful parents). You should be well in no time!! My dancer friend who had hip replacement was in a lot of pain for the first couple of weeks, but was back teaching dance 5 weeks later and back dancing 8 weeks later. She’s fully recovered and still a professional dancer 4 years later.
Hi Other Cathyites!! I definitely agree that supersizing foods is a major culprit in supersizing our kids today. My hubby and I always share a meal in restaurants (and then usually bring home a doggie bag — much to the chagrin of the cats). More is not necessarily better (and what does that twentieth bite of chocolate cake taste like anyway?)

Don’t worry, plenty of nanny state types out there who want to micromanage every tiny part of your life, depriving you of the terrible task of making any decisions for yourself whatsoever.
