Linking up to the Modern Quilt Guild Linky Party to reveal 5 unknown things about me.
1) Sports- I like sports, especially soccer and football. I never thought these would be words uttered from my mouth, but I married into a family that has been in the business of professional sports, and I’ve caught their enthusiasm over the years. I’ve learned to accept that my husband never sits down if the game is tight.
2) I hate being cold and I hate wearing jeans- I have a “home uniform” as Jefe’ calls it. Drawstring sweats, 3/4 zip fleece and fuzzy crocs. This is what I roll outta bed into and it sticks until I need to face the “real” world. Being cold will be my excuse for overpacking while traveling to Austin. The temperature in Austin, plus convention-center air conditioning, is sure to send me back to my layering days of life in Flagstaff. I’ve also never met a pair of boots I didn’t like.
3) I met my husband through his roommate… who I happened to be dating at the time. It wasn’t sleazy or anything… but when the roommate and I went our separate ways, and I returned from a winter abroad, I did have thoughts of “his roommate sure was cute.” I followed through.
4) I drink tons of black tea and love Sierra Nevada Pale Ale- “You can’t by happiness, but you can buy tea and pale ale, and that’s kinda the same thing.” I have no clue what I will drink in Austin, as Americans couldn’t make a cuppa cha to save their lives, and chances are slim there will be Sierra Nevada everywhere. P.S. I also like Sprees, but prefer the original over chewy.
5) I’m fascinated by zombies…
See you at Quiltcon!

Being a tea lover, and now living in the US, I love Trader Joes Irish Breakfast tea – its as good as the “english” (well indian) tea :-)…thought I would mention it in case you were interested.
It’s the hot water thing that keeps me from drinking it while out. I mail order Yorkshire.

Nice to get to learn more about you, Katie! Hope to see you at QuiltCon!
Thanks for sharing about you, and your beautiful family photo. I like many different teas, but drink it mainly during the winter. Have a Blessed, and Wonderful Time at Quiltcon! http://projectsbyMtetar.wordpress.com
I met my husband while on a date with another guy. Hubby was brought as “back-up”. Indeed.
Sierra Nevada pale ale is everywhere! If it is available to me in Birmingham AL then you are set in Austin 🙂 rest easy!
Counting down the sleeps until I get on the plane to Quiltcon. 2 to go…..
Hope to see you tnere
Try a Shiner beer….I was in Texas in August and really liked it and I don’t like all beers. It is brewed there too. You will have a great time – Qultcon AND a terrific city to visit.
In Austin you will drink Shiner. And you will like it!
I’m a black tea drinker too. You need Charlotte’s tea bag wallet for travel!

Never mind Charlotte’s wallet, get her to bring you British tea bags 😉
Now for #1, does your husband also shout at the TV? My dad can sit down when games are tight, but he feels the need to bounce up and down on his chair while shouting at the TV, ‘cos, you know, it helps…
I agree 100% on the Sprees. Original, not chewy.
Or red hot fire balls…close second.
hey, zombie-loving friend! i’m reading this while watching the walking dead. also, i will bring some good tea with me to austin. with luck, we will be able to make tea in the hotel room. see you thursday!

Hi, Katie! So great to meet you in person in the street yesterday! I was taking a day off from Quiltcon today and i stumbled on a Taqueria Jefe’s food truck. I thought it was quite funny.
That’s awesome! I ran today and found a place called The Pedernales! Austin’s got the family covered. Nice to meet you too!
