Pocahontas, like Ariel, was a major influence of young Catie. I had a Pocahontas bedroom and dressed like her for Halloween. I thought I was her because we both have distinct chin structures, but what I didn’t realize at the time was that my distinct chin structure is rounder, not angular like Pocahontas’ is (whyContinue reading “Just Around the Riverbend with Pocahontas”

I’ve been thinking a lot about Ariel’s grotto and this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK4HNNhQ0e4&t=32s My goals each month are a collection too. These months have shown that I don’t always get the big goals completed, but the little goals make it so I do something. I collect them in my own little grotto of sorts. But likeContinue reading “I Want More”

My day without speaking did not go so well. First of all, I forgot I wasn’t supposed to talk today. Before I remembered this plan, I spoke to the following: The dog I’m taking care of The tv show I’m watching with OCD precision Myself So, when I finally DID remember on my way toContinue reading “Mermaid Out of Water”

The Little Mermaid was an obsession of mine growing up. Heck, it’s still an obsession. So, to say the least, this month with Ariel is particularly exciting for me. It’s sort of like having a friend stay with me for a month. (Not that I don’t enjoy spending time with all the princesses. ;)) InContinue reading “Ariel Goes to the Beach”

I’m going to end this month short and sweet. And not by talking about Aurora, but about the three fairies. Catie, who are your three fairies? Why, thank you for asking! My first fairy is friends and family. Yes, they count as one for the purpose of this blog post.  This fairy (ies) equal theContinue reading “Three Good Fairies”

I have taken a back seat a few times this month to my depression. Maybe more than a few times, if I consider the state of my bedroom, my energy and anxiety levels, the times when I felt like there was no point or the times when all I could do was cry for soContinue reading “Split Personality”

While you were at a party or spending the evening with friends and family on New Year’s Eve, I was asleep. With a migraine to boot. (Yes, I added that fact for pity points.) I spent the majority of January and February this year asleep. When I wasn’t at work, doing anything I felt wasContinue reading “Till then, Sleeping Beauty, Sleep On”
