Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: February 2013
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 25, 2013. She seemed less impressed with us, but I was happy to donate money to the Oregon Humane Society in exchange for meeting the tiny celebrity who so often brightens my days. We've been up to other things, of course, in the two months since I last posted. Most notably a weekend trip to Palm Springs for my mother's birthday. You can't tell by the hazy sky, but it was about 80 degrees when this photo was taken:. This is a new experience for Bobby, but one with which I am all too fami...

Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: December 2012
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 10, 2012. Later, while stationed in Seattle, Conor met up with me, Bobby, and Tara to attend Bumbershoot 2010. By sheer coincidence he was living in the same hotel in which we were staying, so the four of us spent the weekend together. Through travels and wine-soaked silliness, through awful days and grand excitement, through birthdays and holidays and no-reason get-togethers, these two young men became some of my favorite people on the planet.

Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: April 2012
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 18, 2012. Early one April morning, four friends arrived at Portland International Airport bound for adventure. The plan was this: land in Long Beach at 9:30, fetch the rental car, stop for burgers at In-n-Out, and spend the day riding roller coasters at Magic Mountain. Unfortunately I developed a cold the night before we left, but otherwise the plan went off without a hitch. Observe:. We left the park about a half hour before closing, and stopped to refuel at Del Taco before making the l...

Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: Los Angeles, I'm [temporarily] Yours
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2012/11/los-angeles-im-temporarily-yours.html
Saturday, November 3, 2012. Los Angeles, I'm [temporarily] Yours. Next was Colossus. If you've ridden it before, you know the train is supposed to be facing the other way. I can assure you after two rounds on the backwards version, it's the way to go. I was concerned it wouldn't live up to my 15 years of expectations, but it far exceeded them. Poor Bobby, with my banshee-level screaming I probably sounded like I was being murdered all day long. The next day held visits to the Elliott Smith memorial wall ...

Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: January 2013
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2013. This Year is Mine. By all calculations, 2013 is set to be a big year for my household. Its months will be jam-packed with milestone birthdays, anniversaries, graduation dates, and far-flung adventures. The first big event, my thirtieth birthday, is less than 90 days away. I'll admit there is a cloud of dread circling the date. I certainly don't feel. Permanently installing a mirrorball in the living room ceiling was the best idea ever. Brey and Adam came to dance with me! Wild F...

Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: November 2012
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Forgive my poaching from Instagram for the majority of this post; November is a busy time of year. This one started with an election-related dance party:. Then there was a trip to California:. However, it's hard to look surly when you're petting a pot-bellied pig a few blocks later:. The night of the rehearsal dinner, my order for a "very special vegetarian meal" - because I totally love. Back at home, the universe thought it would be funny to schedule Bobby's birthday, a work...

Adventures in Self-Aggrandizement: June 2012
http://caitlinpdx.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 18, 2012. The gloom is getting to me. Piecakein, similar in concept to the famous Turducken. Was an experiment conducted by a baker friend of Kim's. It's a pie inside of a cake. It's also the most awesomely delicious thing I have ever eaten. Observe:. Pie Inside of. A cake. Let it be known that I restrained myself from eating the entire confection. I stuck to one piece, and concentrated on playing with Stella the Boston Terrier after that. She makes an excellent distraction. That kid was a t...

Thursday, December 15, 2011. New Year's Eve in Palm Springs. Good times with friends. Stealth weekend in Mississippi. Surprisingly excellent high school reunion. Margaritas in the sunshine. First time floating down the river. International music journalist super-stardom. Labor Day Weekend with Weatherly. The world's funnest holiday photo shoot.
