Ryan is always working at the fire station it seems and I am always home alone. A few weeks ago I signed up for a newborn care class at the hospital that we plan to deliver Riley at and of course the class was scheduled for days when Ryan had to work. I usually dislike doing things by myself and love it when Ryan is there to share in the experience with me but I had to attend this class regardless of whether he could come or not. I felt really awkward going to this type of class alone and assumed everyone thought the worst things about me, but by 5 minutes into it, I just didn't care anymore. It was more important for me to learn new things about taking care of Riley than to give a flying fart what some strangers thought of me. </p><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://s595.photobucket.com/albums/tt31/cthalken88/Blog%20Design/?action=view&current=button_caitlin.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt31/cthalken88/Blog%20Design/button_caitlin.jpg" /></a></p>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02079941564079251419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301745720446865807.post-72343906050562740042011-04-28T17:13:00.010-04:002011-04-28T17:37:26.261-04:00Wee Bit Wednesday<p align="center">Found these questions as a part of <a href="http://www.myleighashley.com/">Ashley's </a>Wee Bit Wednesday post and I figured it would be fun to answer them.</p><br /><center><a href="http://www.myleighashley.com" /><img src="http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/tt244/leighbenner/weebitsbutton-2.png"; width="350"; /></a></center><br /><br /><br /><p><em>1- have you ever been stuck in an elevator?<br /></em>Nope, thank God. I would probably cry my eyes out if that happened. </p><br /><p><br /><em>2- have you ever ridden on an elephant?<br /></em>Yup! I went to a circus in New Hampshire with my family when I was about 5 and I got to ride one there. </p><br /><p><br /><em>3- have you ever met a well known celebrity?<br /></em>I met Richard Simmons, the workout guy, at the airport one time. It was awkward. Lol. </p><br /><p><br /><em>4- do you have any food allergies?<br /></em>Nope. Good b/c I love food! </p><br /><p><br /><em>5- do you know how to sew?<br /></em>Yes, and I wish I had more projects to make. </p><br /><p><br /><em>6- did you get an allowance when you were young?<br /></em>Not consistently. It was an on and off kinda deal. </p><br /><p><br /><em>7- how often do you fill up your gas tank?<br /></em>About one every week and a half bc I never actually fill it up anymore. It’s far too expensive these days. Thankfully I work 2 minutes from our apartment.<br /></p><br /><p><em>8- have you ever been stung by a jelly fish?<br /></em>Yes, just last summer after jumping off my in-laws boat into the James River. It wasn’t as bad as I had expected but it sure didn’t feel good. </p><br /><p><br /><em>9- have you ever been robbed?<br /></em>Nope. </p><br /><p><br /><em>10- what is the worst haircut you’ve ever had?</em><br />A chin length cut when I was about 16 years old.

I guess it started in high school when I made a collage that I titled "The Chaos of High School", then I named my LiveJournal account "The Chaos of LIFE" and for some reason when I started my blog I kept with that theme. I figured my life was still chaos (in a good way) and I liked creating things more then I ever had before. It was initially named "Creative Chaos" but sadly I found out that the name was already taken by another well-known blogger. I changed it to Chaotic Creation to avoid confusion but I still feel like a copycat to this day...would it be too late to change it now? Lol. <br /><br /><p align="center"><a href="http://s595.photobucket.com/albums/tt31/cthalken88/Blog%20Design/?action=view&current=button_caitlin.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i595.photobucket.com/albums/tt31/cthalken88/Blog%20Design/button_caitlin.jpg" /></a></p>Caitlinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02079941564079251419noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301745720446865807.post-39036168508410005872010-09-01T08:35:00.003-04:002010-09-01T08:51:48.448-04:0030 Days of Me-Day 1So since I have been so bad at keeping up with blogging lately I have decided that participating in the ever so popular "30 Days of Me" would be a good way to get my blogging juices flowing.
<br />
<br />Day One: Post a recent pic of yourself and share 15 facts about yourself.

<br />
<br /><div style="text-align: left;">1. I decorate cakes for a living currently but really need to find a career in the field of psychology.
<br />
<br />2. I am looking into going back to school for graduate classes.
<br />
<br />3. My fiance is a firefighter for the city of Portsmouth, VA and absolutely loves his career.
