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.

That’s only because you always overthink the “getting ready to go out” part, Cathy! EYEROLL

Hello all. You usually comment by now frightenup, guess I’ll check back later. I have to admit that I change my mind a couple of times about outfits, but nowhere near as extreme as Cathy.

Wow, look at that! I guess Irving is long gone. That’s really quite scary, so it’s good he didn’t see it.

Quiet this afternoon!
I take about 10 minutes to unpack after a trip. Dirty clothes to the laundry room, clean clothes (never many of these!) back in the closet/dresser, contents of shaving kit back into ‘my’ drawer in the bathroom, suitcase in the storage closet. Done. My wife takes about two days with a LOT more clean clothes to put away. I figure that if I run out of clean clothes I can always buy more wherever I am traveling – and usually for cheaper than I can get them at home!
I hope the rest of you Cathyites are having as beautiful a day as we are – sun is shining, leaves are coloured, temp about 15C. Perfect fall day!

I like that all of Cathy’s clutter is gray and colorless. Says a lot about her mood without saying anything.
fightenup your “rise and shine” was at least two hours too early and didn’t work. ;-P It’s a perfect day for sleeping in. Almost 7 hours. NICE!. LMB had to stand on my chest on all fours before I woke up. Otherwise we’d be in a wee bit of a problem.
Hi Susan if you come back. No dessert to post today. I’m taking a batch of chocolate chip cookies that I made early this a.m. to my crew. Hi ncali, shyy, and hendelca.
hendelca I gotta to a Google temp conversion to see what 15C is, though slightly cool and nice I bet. :-D
Hi Mom!

LMB’s homage to October

I can’t imagine having as many clothes, shoes or cosmetics as Cathy seems to think she needs. Or the money to buy them all. Or enough room to store them!

Aaron and I together couldn’t make even half the mess Cathy does. She’s got excess down pat. If we add you in with us Anona Mouse we couldn’t even put a dent in that mess.
Billy Eye-gor said, 8 months ago
Sweaters maybe. Aaron and I are the same size so we share our ‘collection’. My latest count (just now out of curiosity) has us at 32 sweaters of varying weights, all of them pullover/crew neck.
Anona Mouse said, 8 months ago
Oh, Billy – you look somehow different today!
;-pBilly Eye-gor said, 8 months ago
@Anona Mouse
Yes. I’m turning over a new leaf.
LMB just rolled his eyes at me.
Anona Mouse said, 8 months ago
I love the colours of Autumn leaves. Very striking!
(No, LMB – I know it was a bad joke, but you mustn’t actually hit him. The eyeroll will do fine.)
(This time.)

My tired little buddy and I had a busy night with friends over for dinner. Aaron was already on two EMS runs this evening. I can go to bed while I know he’s safe at the station.
G’nite AnonaMouse, rgcviper stealthy cat, lindz.coop, and kittycatpawsare. :-D
