I’m Caitlin’s dad, Larry. While Caitlin was in Indonesia, Monica and I spent Christmas with Caitlin in Bali. On a visit to a “sacred” monkey sanctuary in Ubud, a monkey stole Monica’s water cup, drank the water and threw the cup at Monica. That monkey then had the temerity to mock my wife. I then tried to kill that sacred monkey bastard with my briefcase. I’m very disappointed with Caitlin for not sharing my courage and outrage. I forgive you!
I read both Station Eleven and Mr. Burns in a college class on dystopias. It wasn't your class but I shouldn't be surprised someone else would be inspired by the same novel. They were both really good and fit well together in a curriculum.
Fuck. Cruises. This was a delightful and fully entertaining read. Thank you for sharing these insights and laughs - I particularly liked your non profane swear phrases. You helped me define my own love of teaching. And I want to take your classes! Random 40 year old counter thoughts:
- A prompt (esp for parents) might be: "Things that have compromised my search history". A winner for me was definitely "will my baby die from eating its own feces?"
Thanks so much for reading!! And yes, whew, three months in my googles are uber-specific, but somehow always lead to a Reddit thread where people answer the exact query :) Hope everything has been going well with baby Zeus!
Caitlin, so much of this resonated with me! Thank you for sharing! Maternity jumpsuits are legit amazing (and I still think if you when I wear my rainbow leopard print blouse), I love the LeBrons story, I am VERY jealous of the Lil Jon Spring Break sighting, that is like finding a unicorn. Congrats on becoming a mom and managing a baby along with all else! Eager to see your & Elissa’s book out in the world 😊
Yay, so glad, Jenn! Next week I'm going to be sharing a day in the life of a new mom who has a book due in ONE MONTH, so hopefully you'll see some more common experiences there haha
Wait for a good sale, sometimes they mark it down to like $111 which is fake sale, I got one for $69 and one for $79. There's also an Athleta subreddit that tells you which codes will stack for optimum discounts :)
Athleta jumpsuits for life! I have three (including the one you linked and the romper version) and I will simply not be wearing other things ever. Loved reading your 40 for 40.
I already have three as well, two of the wide leg, one of the regular. Just read this comment in the review section that I know you'll appreciate, we all need to live life like Hettie E:
Absolutely beautiful.

With This outfit, I can go from the office to church to the club. For me, it's perfect for most occasions

this is beautiful trauma journaling!

Agree! Both had moments of true beauty in them.
Happy birthday!
Thank you!!
Happy Birthday to you and baby!
Jumpsuits are indeed everything. Enjoyed your piece while lounging in a black cotton one from Madewell.
Now, I'm off to check out your classes :)
Thank you! I haven't explored the Madewell jumpsuits yet, must expand the collection!
Such a fun way to learn about what makes someone tick. I love it! In fact, I love it so much that I'm going to "borrow" the idea.
Thank you! I can't wait to read yours!

Amazing read. Cackling at the horse panic attack. Happy birthday!
Thank you! I'm actually going to email you about something soon...
So grateful for all your words and i cannot wait til that jumpsuit goes on sale!

A fun read, Caitin! Hope you're well.
Thanks, Bill! So good to hear from you!
40/40 and 10/10. My favorite all-purpose insult (grow up) didn't make #29 but did appear in action in #6.
Grow up is clearly one of my favs as well since I barely registered even using it :) Truly an essential one!
She's BAAAACCCKK!!!
jk got excited then began reading "i'm still on leave" first sentence :)
I'm basically back just don't want to overpromise if I suddenly am not back, ya know?

Hettie E is setting a new bar for jumpsuits AND church.
Loved this! It was a crash course on Caitlin - what's not to like? :)
This is great! I love a list of quips/anecdotes as a means of getting to know someone. So fun and entertaining!
