This week's shout out is a little late coming--after all, its almost next week! It was a tight race this week, but the shout out goes to....Kathryn Clusman! Congratulations, Kathryn.
Kathryn is one of my best friends from high school and even though we went to school in two very different places (my New York to her Cleveland) and are both terrible at keeping in touch, we have been able to remain so. She gets the shout out this week for coming home for a full SEVEN DAYS for Thanksgiving! Kathryn isn't able to make it to Maryland very often, so when she does, it is a big deal.
But aside from just coming home, Kathryn is an excellent person. She is fun and crazy and tells me how awesome I am on a regular basis. She makes no apologies for being who she is, which is good, because she shouldn't. And even though we have differing tastes on things like music or ice cream, we get along great.
Kathryn and I have also worked together on two separate occasions. The first was when she got me a job at Dunkin Donuts/ Baskin Robbins in May of our junior year of high school. We worked there together for a whole year, pretty much dominating $1- scoop Tuesdays. I mean, we had regulars, for crying out loud, who came specifically for us. We pretty much spent the summer beating back large crowds and the winter wishing for people to come in so we could talk to someone besides each other ; ) and throwing munchkins at each other from across the store. Its amazing we didn't get fired.
Then, in April of our senior year, I got her a job at the boutique I worked at as a second job. While we couldn't throw the merchandise at each other, we had a great boss and pretty much got paid to do nothing (now that I think about it, the majority of my high school jobs were just like that--why did I ever leave high school?).
So Kathryn and I have a lot of history together, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. So here's to Kathryn! Rock on with yo bad self.
Seriously??? Come on!!! ;)
