With so many new readers popping up {yay!} I thought it would be fun & appropriate to do a refresher about me post.
Hi. I’m Kate!
- I’ve never lived anywhere but California.
- I hate leafy foods {i.e. arugula, mint, basil if it’s not chopped up, etc.}
- I am pretty petite {5’3″} and love heels, even though I have NO coordination. I trip and/or fall a lot.
- I work in merchandising for the home/furniture division of an e-commerce company; it’s a job that keeps me veryvery busy.
- I believe that I have become a much more positive person in the last year. But, I still consider myself a realist, not an optimist.
- My biggest dreams are to own a home and to open up a store.
- I have a great big complicated amazing family.
- I believe in surrounding yourself with people and things that inspire you.
- I like to make things pretty.
- I am great at making lists and planning.
- Overachiever.
- I watch too much TV — especially crime dramas.
- I have Crohn’s disease.
- I get my craftiness from my mom.
- I think it’s important to be liked; I can be a people pleaser.
- I am pretty generally inarticulate. I’m really self-conscious about saying “like” too much. I’ve managed to remove it {mostly} from my speech, but it seems to have been replaced with, “um.” Not a great choice either.
- I don’t believe in fairytales.
- I drink jack and coke.
- I’m high-strung at work but mellow everywhere else.
- I love passionate people.
- I’m an old 28.

LOVE the photo Kate! It’s amazing! Reminds of the ANTM when they do the natural close ups…
Hi Kate! Found you from the Yellow House! Great guest post. And it’s nice to learn a little about you! Following! 🙂
XO, Katie

What a lovely photo of you. And I liked the refresher & the chance to learn about you again. How quickly we forget things we think we know about our blog friends!
22. You are adorable!
It was nice getting a fresh dose of Kate 🙂
Kate, I love this! That is a beautiful photo of you, too! I love that you said you’re an ‘old 28′ because I am definitely an old ’24’!
Nice to meet you, Kate. I love #5 😉
Great to get to know you, thanks for sharing!
