So, this past weekend, my gorgeous sister-in-law
Becky and Tricia
brought her lovely friend, Katie, down to our house. I’d never met Katie before, but I’d heard about her here and there. Let me tell you, I actually fussed at Bill for not introducing me to Katie sooner because I felt like I’d been cheated of SIX YEARS OF KNOWING KATIE KORTE. So, I’m going to explain all the reasons I’m stalking Katie Korte. (Well, all the reasons I can remember. I’m sure I’ll miss a few.)
My new stalkee BFF.
1. Her name is fun to say. Katie Korte. (Korte is pronounced CORE-tee.) Katie Korte. G’head and say it out loud; I swear you’ll see what I mean.
2. Katie Kortie is a KU alum, a Jayhawk. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK, BITCHES! For those of you who are unaware, I was born and raised (at least partly) in Kansas. I’ve loved the Jayhawks since the early 90s, at least. I still curse Roy Williams for his defecting to NC. Bastard. But I’m getting over it. Also? Digressing.
3. Upon first seeing Tricia, Katie said, “Hi, Bill Jr. Wait. No. CINDY LOU WHO! She looks just like Cindy Lou Who!” I felt validated since I’ve called the kid Cindy Lou Who her entire life.
Cindy Lou Who.
Tricia
4. Katie understands the concept of going for the gusto. Katie Korte has a joie de vivre that is contagious and fabulous. I believe you Californians would say she gets the idea of “go big or go home.”
5. Katie has probably the most awesome conversation skills ever. She makes you feel like she’s genuinely listening…except when her ADD kicks in.
6. Katie Korte has ADD, so talking to her is like talking to me which…awesome.
7. Katie Korte’s OCD makes mine look like small potatoes, and she’s not ashamed of it. Plus, she totally gets why in the midst of an office full of chaos, I was fixating on setting up an altar and making it perfect.
8. Katie Korte was a broadcast journalism major. (I majored in Mass Communications before I totally failed at life.) It shows. She asks the best questions, and she makes you feel like she cares about your answers.
9. Katie understands that Suze Orman is the only financial guru to whom anyone should ever listen.
10. Katie is a texter. She gets that the phone is a death machine sending cancer rays into your ear. So no phone calls, but she’ll text your ass off. <3
And those are all the reasons I can think of for now, but I know there'll be more to come. Oh, wait. One more reason I love Katie Korte...
Katie.
Me.
It’s like we’re soul sisters, innit?
