Meet my Faves:: Katie

My next favorite person is my dearest friend at work. We definitely have way too much fun. Meet Katie!


Full Name: Katie (Catherine) Michelle Schissel


Location: I don’t get it? Like where am I located right now -- at my desk in my office. Or where do I live-- Desert Ridge.


Occupation: Event Coordinator for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metropolitan Phoenix


Alma Mater: University of Arizona, GO CATS!


Starbucks order: Tall Carmel Macchiato every time!


How we met: At work--Nicki thought I was a snob, and I was totally oblivious and didn’t even know she worked there until we started hanging out with a mutual co-worker friend of ours. She has since moved away, and Nicki and I are pretty much inseparable.


If you could go to dinner with any three people dead or alive, who would it be and why?:


Leonardo da Vinci. He was a scientist, inventor, mathematician, and artist and in my opinion one of the most interesting and in some cases controversial people of all time.


My boyfriend, Bryan. I know I get to go to dinner with him all the time, but it’s true, spending time with him is one of my favorite things.


Eddie Vedder. I think his talent is undeniable--unique perspective, brilliant lyrics and distinctive voice. I mean, who wasn’t obsessed with Pearl Jam in the 90’s?


Describe your perfect Sunday: Wake up around 9 am. Go to breakfast with my boyfriend, Bryan. Order two eggs over easy with a side of ham and hash browns, large orange juice and coffee. Then head to 11 am mass. After mass run some errands together to get a head start on the week. Come home, take my dog, Tuck, for a walk. Then make dinner together using a scrumptious recipe I stole off of foodnetwork.com. Pop open a bottle of wine, flip on a movie or some random sitcom. And hit the sack by 10 pm. That’s it, nothing out of the ordinary. Just a casual, laid-back Sunday but just my speed.
