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.

Don’t listen to them, Cathy! Do what you know you can do, not what others say. That’s how I’ve slowly added good habits to my life. I’ve picked something that I think I can do (no ice cream, more fruit, etc) and as soon as that becomes part of my life, then I’ll add something else.
It’s when one tries to do too much all at once is when one gets overwhelmed and gives up.
Good morning, lovely Cathy clan!!

lightenup’s right Cathy. I had a very good week then I gave up for the last two weeks, too much pressure. But I’ll start again as soon as I feel better and work at my own pace.
Good morning lightenup and the rest of the Cathy clan!

And now, thanks to these 2 “helpful” co-workers, Cathy’s commitment to walk 30 minutes, 5 days a week, has probably gone right out the window because she barely had enough time to do just the walking by itself. Squeeze in any more than that? Can’t! So now, why even bother walking at all when it’s not (supposedly) going to do any “good” if those other things “have” to go along with it and there’s no time to do them too?! So, so helpful!!!!! Not!!!!! :-(
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and Happy Hump Day (a.k.a. Wednesday) to all my nutty “Cathy Clan” friends. Hope your week is going great so far!

Well, I was gonna say … “You started it, Cathy”. However, Mom, I see your point that the … potential helpers … aren’t actually helping so much. Small steps, right?
I also just realized that we haven’t seen a good “AACK!” in this comic for a long time. I feel so deprived … ha.
HI, MOM. Greetings to the awesome and nutty Clan.
