say my name

It's no secret that I have a unique and very odd first name. Many times, during an introduction, people will ask "Whoa, that's cool, how'd ya get a name like that? Your parents must have been high." Then we all laugh, while I avoid the question, pretending it to be a well kept secret. 

Well, it's not. Not at all. But that's not the point here. My only point is that I love my name. Cheers to my momma for sticking to her guns when my dad demanded he name me Michele. Which is my middle name by the way. 

While I appreciate its uniqueness, I often get frustrated when someone cannot pronounce it, especially after I have sounded it out for them 4 times before. 

"Yes of course, Kathy like the pants." as I walk away with my overpriced unsweetened geen tea.
Arrrgggggg! Get it right dammit.

Somedays I would prefer to be Kathy anyways. 
On my own terms of course.

ta ta for now,

Kathy Barrett
