10 Cathy Facts #AprilA2Z
This month, I’m participating in the A-Z Blog Challenge. I signed on for the music and photography, but the music group stuck and that’s okay. I’m about the tunes anyhow. Let’s start things off this morning with some catchy, annoying songs!
I know you’re gonna hate me for getting these tunes stuck in your head, but hate me in a loving kinda way, ok? Which catchy song drives you the craziest? Although every one of these songs get me to my feet and put a little boogie in my move, I still cringe every time I hear Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass.
Let’s see if I can smooth things over. How about, I tell you 10 little known Cathy facts.
- I had a dog when I was a little girl named Sugarfoot. I named him this because he liked candy and in my youthful ignorance I happily shared my sweets with my pup. I had no clue that candy was bad for animals.
- I have a birthmark on the inside of my left leg near my knee that makes me think of a bear’s face. To be precise it has always made me think of a panda for some reason. Yeah, no one else sees it (the face) other than me!
- I got into a fight when I was in junior high school, but not on school property. The confrontation started on the bus and when we got off that’s when the cat fight started. It was a stupid thing to do and in the following weeks, we were friends again.
- I had a huge crush on Vince Van Patton from the 70s TV series Apple’s Way. I remember writing a letter one summer announcing to him my undying love. It’s a good thing he didn’t respond or I would have missed my real prince charming DH. Actually, I felt embarrassed for days and days after sending that ridiculous thing out. Now, I just smile because it’s funny.
- I pulled firefly’s bellies off and stuck them to my face when I was a kid. Just so I could glow. I know that’s gross, but kids are weird.
- Another weird thing from my childhood, I believed if you poured salt on a snail that it would rain and wouldn’t you know it actually rained the first time I put it to the test!
- I’m almost 54 and still kinda naïve about the ways of the world or lets just say I don’t think the way a lot of people do. I’m blissful ignorant! DH says I’m sweet and I think he’s sweet for saying I’m sweet. Yeah, I know…that’s sappy.
- A not-so-exciting fact is I have been in every state along the eastern coast at least once.
- I was a preemie. I came about a month early. My mom told me they had to keep me in an incubator for 24-hours. I weighted 5 pounds 7 ounces, but I imagine by the time I left the hospital I was closer to 5 pounds, though. This isn’t preemie small like some cases, but still that’s tiny.
- My best girlfriend from my childhood nicknamed me Caffey. I think it was because when I was little that’s the way I pronounced my name, so it stuck.
There you have it! Now, you can say, darn I know that gal better today than I did yesterday. 😉 Why not tell me something new about you? Thanks for stopping by. You’re welcome to follow along with me

Your surprising facts are hilarious and it’s a good thing you gave me those to make up for the songs that won’t move out of my head ;p

Oh, good! *wipe brow* I was really worried. lol Those earworms can drive you insane, but some times that insanity gives you just what you needed. Don’t you think?

I spared myself the music.
That is gross about the fireflies. I was such a neat and clean kid, I never did that.
My wife can be a little naive like that. And yeah, it’s cute.

That’s cool about your birthmark. I have a scar on my knee that looks like a map of the world, but I don’t get my knees out very often so no one’s ever commented on it, hehe.

We used to pull off the bellies of firefly’s and wear them like diamond rings! My granddaughter has a birthmark on her shoulder that looks like a foot! And now I have All About the Bass stuck in my head 🙂

It’s good if you’re naive…it means that you have a positive, and big heart 🙂 Loved the bit about the fireflies…so gross LOL
Cathy Kennedy
Ahh, that’s sweet! DH tells me all the time that it’s sweet (and sexy…who knew?) that I’m still naive. Let me tell you how naive I am, I was well in my early 20s before I understand about same-sex relationships. That’s old by today’s standards. lol

Did you ever catch fireflies and sell them to Oak Ridge? I remember when they used to buy them I think in the 70’s.

Lee, nope I never did that. I moved to Powell in 1979 and never heard of this until now. I asked Google and learned they still buy fireflies. Apparently, the going rate last year was $2 for 100 fireflies. That’s a lot of insects to catch. I don’t think we ever captured that many at one time, but if we had known money was involved then I’m sure we would have tried harder. 😀

Hey Cathy that starts with “C”. I am kinda doing music too with a mix-mash. It was nice finding out facts about you.
One about me, I have traveled to 48 states and sometimes more than once.
