Finding Your Palm Tree
(Me and my friend Peter in Dolores Park. This photo was probably taken on, like, a Tuesday).
It’s easy to say I left my heart in San Francisco. My heart literally aches when I think about it – the air, the breeze, the palm trees, the sun, the hills, and the ocean. Nature is abundant and fun there. Here in Brooklyn (specifically North Brooklyn), nature is limited and often filled with cigarette...

I am angry about the "Shit Girls Say About Money"...
I received this video in my inbox this morning from @Learnvest - a company that supposedly makes money off of helping women manage their cash. I’ve been thinking a lot about the “Shit __ Says” meme and what makes it okay vs. offensive, and this video came just in time.
Here is what makes most of the “Shit __ Says” videos okay:
-They are made by people making fun of...

Workout Wear/Lifestyle
So I am training for a totally hypothetical 5k. I run on the treadmill at the gym because it is the least likely place for any of my under-employed ex-boyfriends to be at any given time. Also, I have been totally doing the running in a hoodie with the hoodie up style. My gym (the Greenpoint Y, no stalkers please!) is kept pretty warm, so most of the bodies are fairly naked. Me? I am like a...

Hey, It's me, 2008.
Hey Caitlin, It’s 2008. I know you might be surprised that I am writing you. One, because I am a year and two, because you thought I was a year that was way behind you. It’s true, we have gone our separate ways – you have changed, and I have stayed mostly the same. BUT, I thought it might be nice of me to check in and see how you are doing with all this 2012 election coverage. I thought if...

Tell Me About Your Diet, LOL
Diet talk is 3 things to most women:
1. Fascinating 2. Infuriating 3. Boring
But this time of year, it feels like all my friends are on a diet, trying to diet, doing a cleanse, complaining about “the holiday poundage”, and basically trying to eat green and feel 17 again. I am terrible at diets and have zero self-control but at 28, I am starting to feel old and a tad...

Thanks For The Amazing Birthday!
My real birthday is on New Years Eve. I can’t say I mind, as it is always a built in party and everyone gets dressed up and it makes the whole resolutions thing extra special and meaningful. Also, I am AGING WITH THE EARTH. BUT, a few years ago (okay, like 8 years ago), I started the tradition of having a birthday celebration a week or two AFTER my actual birthday. Just when everyone is...
