Katherine in five fun facts (these change quarterly):

I love apple juice so much that I have a tattoo dedicated to it.
I’m a 2027 bride! Yes, I will talk and write about it obsessively.
Hershey’s Cookies ‘N’ Creme Dipped Pretzels are my favorite snack right now. Those and Baked Lays.
My cat, Ramona, is named after the famous Beverly Cleary character. She’s the love of my life, and she has her own fanbase.
My current favorite show is the Golden Girls and I think that I’m a mixture of Dorothy and Rose. However, I do think that Sophia and I tell stories in the same format: long and drawn out with a lot of humor.
