So I have decided I may try this little thing called a blog...Peg did it for a while, Maureen did it for a while, and they both encouraged me to do it to...I don't know why I feel like it now, but I do- this may be a one time thing, it may go on for eons....no one knows....
I'll begin with my blog name 'kt k8 schubs or whatever ya wanna call me'.
My given name is Kathleen Marie Schubert- after my Grandma Kathleen Mullery who went by the name Katherine and my Grandma Jane Schubert who goes by the name Marie....make sense? I certainly hope so, it's not that difficult to follow.
My parentals Margaret- goes by Peg, and Gerald- goes by Jerry, Jer, BOK, DoD, Jed (which I never really understood, by the way) (pick your own) started calling Kate and or Katie most of the time growing up, my brother, sister, and most of the extended family usually called me Kate as well. Katie is how I introduced myself starting in Kiddi-garden and to this day is how I introduce myself to strangers. Kate is how I identify myself with my family, particularly the Schubert side of the family for some reason...don't know why, just has always been that way.
Some very close friends refer to me as Kate as well, it just kind of happens, I don't know if they hear family do it and they go from that or what it is- but a select few are allowed to call me Kate. I only really have a problem when people who I don't like think they are chummy enough to call me Kate, and in that case I correct them. My brother had a lady friend Airjgee or something like that who made this mistake, I had to correct her repeatedly. It's not like I called her 'Air', I don't know why she thought she could call me Kate.
ANYWHOOO- 'Schubs' started in high school with the Track folk...it was either Kiernan (coach) or my friends who started, doesn't really matter it stuck in HS, & made it's way to college via the AIM screenname. A select few used it in college, namely Mike Oliveri's hall mates, and sometimes Kellina....but after college it seemed to take a rest until I found my calling in adult co-ed recreational sports....I think Paul Vitale brought back the Schubs, and so here it is....
This all being said...I'll always be a Schubs, Katie, or Kate (can't no one take the K8 away from me!! :)
Till next time, if there is a next time.......
P.S. The title of this blog has nothing to do with the subject and I know it, the song was just in my head when I started....
