Game Night

Things to remember when playing games with our family:

- My dad is good at everything. No really.. everything. Chances are if you happen to be beating him at a game.. he is probably playing down to you. (he's nice that way)

- My mom makes up completely ridiculous answers and will not give up until you give her the point. Is she creative? Oh yes. Is she writing down real answers? No, no, no.

- My husband is cheating. He believes this is part of every game. If you can get away with it, then you are good at the game.

- I am competitive. I get really into some games. Sometimes my "inner Monica" comes out.


So you can imagine how we must have looked last night playing these two games..

And for the record you cannot major in Badminton and a valid answer for a dairy product does NOT include Betsy your childhood cow!

What games do you and your family like to play? We are always looking for something new and fun.

Color Test Roll

I am testing three different types of film so I can know what I am dealing with in Seattle. This is the color roll. I find myself learning something different with each new roll I take. Still trying to work out the kinks. Next up is cross processed slide film. I have already scouted out the location I want to shoot.

Loving my new hobby.

Roamin'

He looks innocent enough. Just wait till you come for a visit and he gets so excited to see you, that he loses control of his little doggy bladder. I love my dog, I just like that he lives with my parents.

Why..so..serious?

loved.

best villain ever.

One of each please.

I spy new Anthropologie.

Let's all get to know Caitlin a little better..

Have you ever attended a sleep-over and had those late night talks where the conversation always ends up going somewhere like "Hey what is everyone's most embarrassing moment?" You always hear people say "I can't think of one." or "I just don't get embarrassed." Unless I am there. I always have a million stupid things I have done. So I usually get the ball rolling and then by the end of the conversation everyone has shared something that they hope never leaves the room. Most sleep overs go that way. The next morning you wake up and think "Did I really just tell everyone that?", "Did we play Truth or Dare?", "Where is my bra?" (as you stumble to the freezer)

Well a while ago my cute friend Shannon posted about an embarrassing moment. (click here to read her super funny story) Which inspired me to share one with you.

I was probably 16 (old enough to know better) and was getting up to bear my testimony at church. But I figured I should say something funny, but couldn't think of what. So I got up to the pulpit and blurted out "Hi!" (far too loudly) then embarrassed I quickly mumbled the rest and left the pulpit. Not so bad right? Well here's where you might cringe.

I was half way down the stairs and realized I hadn't said "Bye!" yet. I mean, I wanted to be polite since I had started with a friendly hello. So I darted back up the stairs, pushed an old lady out of the way (who had started giving her testimony) and shouted "Bye!" (even louder than before)

I know, I know. At this point you are questioning if I have mental problems. It was honestly a weird moment where I blanked out, and nerdy, geeky, weirdo Caitlin took over and left me stunned. So stunned that after scurrying off the stand, I continued straight out the door and had to be coaxed back in.

The worst part about it was I had several people approach me for weeks after saying. "Y'know I really enjoyed your testimony, but next time you should leave out the hi and bye part." Leaving me to just hang my head, and say "Yeah, I know." What is it about people that need to point out the already embarrassing?

If any of you are brave enough, I would love to hear yours. Shannon and I have done it. I would love to know I am not the only freak-a-zoid (just saying that makes me sound like a Trekkie huh?)

Friends, Tacos, Batman, and a little Aniston..
