Buh-Bye, Fall (?!)

in All Posts

Today, I’m on my way to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut for an Operation Beautiful presentation.  I’ve never been to Connecticut so I’m rather excited to see this part of the country.  However, I hope it’s not too cold because I didn’t pack a jacket (oops!).

High-maintenance drink of the day:  Gingerbread Soy Decaf Latte.  So good.  Dare I say it’s tastier than Pumpkin Spice? And yes – I go by ‘Katie’ at coffee shops.  Growing up, no one ever called me Caitlin and all my old friends still call me Katie (I transitioned to Caitlin when I started my first post-college job).  Katies all the way!

 

My flight was delayed so I had extra time this morning to take Jamesy on a walk.  I told him all about Lula, and he says he hopes she finds a forever home, soon!  (If you’re in Ohio, I’ve posted an extra emergency Shelter Pet of the Week on my Facebook page – Mr. Knuckles will be put down on Saturday, and the shelter is willing to provide transport to get him to surrounding states!)

All the leaves are falling.  I can’t believe we’re already transitioning to winter.  I’m not ready!!!

Wahh.

 

Breakfast:

Looking for a way to spice up eggs and toast?  Add a smear of goat cheese to the toast – the egg makes it all warm and creamy and the saltiness of the cheese is a perfect compliment to the egg.  LOVE.

We’re finally boarding – I better go!

    I live about an hour from Quinnipiac and it’s going to be almost 70 today and gorgeous. Enjoy!

  • Jill November 9, 2011, 10:20 am

    My friend went to college there in the 90’s! I visited once! BEAUTIFUL! Have a great trip!

  • Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat November 9, 2011, 10:20 am

    Great quote!! I can’t believe it’s time for winter cups at Starbs already. It’s too soon! Have a safe flight! 🙂

  • Stephanie November 9, 2011, 10:20 am

    I just graduated from Quinnipiac! So excited that you’re giving a presentation! I wish I were still there 🙂

  • Lisa November 9, 2011, 10:21 am

    You are in luck – its going to be a high of 66 in the area today!! No coat necessary.

  • Bethany @ More Fruit Please November 9, 2011, 10:21 am

    Don’t worry… beautiful weather here in Connecticut today! The Quinnipiac campus is beautiful. If you have any free time, you should go on a short hike up Sleeping Giant mountain which is literally right across the street from the university. It’s a pretty short hike and not steep at all and there’s a castle at the top!

  • Jen November 9, 2011, 10:21 am

    I need to try one of those gingerbread lattes. I LOVE the pumpkin ones.

  • Lindsay November 9, 2011, 10:23 am

    It’s fairly “warm” in VT today so hopefully CT will be warmer too. If you are looking for tasty food in that area New Haven isn’t far and has a great selection such as Miya’s Sushi, Bru Room for amazing New Haven style pizza, and Blue State Coffee.

    • Natalie November 9, 2011, 4:22 pm

      Love Miya’s!!!!

  • KathrynTravels November 9, 2011, 10:26 am

    I’m totally a Katy with any and all people who knew me before my first job at age 21 and Kathryn to anyone who’s met me since. I tried to transition in the dorms in college but when I first introduced myself to my roommate, I called myself Katy and it was all over. Ha.

    Have a good trip!

  • Laura November 9, 2011, 10:26 am

    So glad I’m not the only one that has a dog that responds back to them 😉

    I’m not ready for winter, but I love when the leaves fall. I like the crunch.

  • Cait @ beyond bananas November 9, 2011, 10:27 am

    Agreed with all.. it is unseasonably warm in CT today.. and QU is beautiful. I spent many nights playing soccer there when I was younger.

  • Nena November 9, 2011, 10:32 am

    I have to tell you, I read your blog, like, everyday. I came upon it looking for a cheese-less casserole to make. All of your recipes look sooo delish! ‘cept I can’t eat cheese. 🙁 (gallstones) and I get a bad tummy ache with dairy. (may be lactose intolerant). lol, i know, I’m all messed.

    Anywho, I really enjoy reading, your thoughts, experiences, and recipes. It is making me think about doing a blog of my own (about my life and experiences). I just have to gain the courage to do it. Just want to let you know, that some days your writing is very inspiring and when I feel down your positive thinking puts me back in check.

    Enjoy ur trip! Connecticute is beautiful.

    Thanks, Caitlin, or Kate. 🙂

    • Nena November 9, 2011, 10:33 am

      I mean katie…heehe.

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:11 pm

      Thank you so much Nena! You should start a blog 🙂 It’s fun!

  • Katie (Sweet Tater) November 9, 2011, 10:33 am

    i ALWAYS want to call you katie. that’s how i refer to you in my head. weird? a little…

  • Kate (What Kate is Cooking) November 9, 2011, 10:35 am

    I still mostly go by Katie too. I changed my name to Kate on Facebook a few years ago and everyone was confused by it- it’s only a missing syllable!

    • kate November 9, 2011, 1:33 pm

      i did this too. i changed it from Katie to Kate as a joke to sound more “serious” and appeariently it was just too much for some people. made me laugh.

  • Briana November 9, 2011, 10:36 am

    Definitely don’t need a jacket.. High of 70 in Amherst, Massachusetts which is about an hour and half north of Quinnipiac! Unseasonably warm, actually! Enjoy CT! ..and come to UMass Amherst sometime!

  • Sarah @ See Sarah Eat November 9, 2011, 10:37 am

    Ahh yes, the winter drinks are here, yay! That’s the only thing regarding winter that I’m ready for ha ha 😉 Have a great trip!

  • CJ @ http://healthy-happy-whole.com November 9, 2011, 10:40 am

    Quinnipiac is a beautiful school and CT is a wonderful state, especially this time of year if the leaves are still on the trees! I wish I could remember the name of this tiny little ice cream shop thats there, but they had the best homemade hand dipped cones. Travel well hun and enjoy the foliage~

    • jessica November 9, 2011, 12:27 pm

      wentworths! i work there and i’ll be there from 3 to 6 and i’m a complete creeper and would love to meet you! yup. creeper.

      • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:10 pm

        I WISH I HAD SEEN THIS BEFORE 6!!! I was just thinking, I need ice cream. Dammit.

  • Danielle B November 9, 2011, 10:40 am

    These shelter dog posts are breaking my heart 🙁

    • Stephanie November 9, 2011, 10:48 am

      wentworth’s or kelly’s kone konnection! 🙂

  • Amanda November 9, 2011, 10:41 am

    You’re lucking out with the weather! I think it’s supposed to be high 60s there (near 70 in Boston!).

    I’m also not ready for winter. The last one was brutal and insanely snowy. It’s the little things, like Gingerbread lattes, that get me through it. 🙂

  • Ella November 9, 2011, 10:42 am

    So excited for your presentation tonight! Its probably the only thing getting me through all of these exams, thank you for heading all the way up here!

  • Claire @ Live and Love to Eat November 9, 2011, 10:44 am

    The only thing better than goat cheese is warm, melted goat cheese. Safe travels! 🙂

  • Eileen November 9, 2011, 10:47 am

    oh no, pregnancy brain must be setting in already! I thought I was going crazy when you said you’ve never been to CT because I thought I remembered you visiting Yale before, and you did! I only remember because I was excited to see you in the best state ever – clearly we made a huge impression 🙂

    Hope you enjoy your trip – and congratulations! So excited to follow your journey.

    • Kelley November 9, 2011, 4:06 pm

      Haha, I was just going to say that! You were in New Haven last year!

      • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:09 pm

        Haha you guys are totally right! I am so in and out of these places for Operation Beautiful events (and spend more of my time in a car, hotel, or school) that I forget!

  • Khushboo November 9, 2011, 10:47 am

    True say- it’s all about perspective! What does the husband call you- Katie or Caitlin?

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:09 pm

      Caitlin 🙂

  • Army Amy* November 9, 2011, 10:48 am

    I would love to go to Quinnipiac just because it’s a fantatic name! (Nerd Alert!) I love weird words like that.*

  • kathleen @ the daily crumb November 9, 2011, 10:48 am

    goat cheese makes anything better… including eggs!

    these shelter pets are just breaking my heart. i pray someone somewhere is able to help. wish it was me 🙁

  • Erica November 9, 2011, 10:49 am

    I’ve been craving goat cheese like crazy during my pregnancy! I love your comment about high maintenance coffee orders! I’m the same way – Decaf, Soy, Pumpkin Spice Latte, light on flavor, no whip. Oh Well! I haven’t had a gingerbread one, maybe have to try it!!!!!

  • katie @ KatieDid November 9, 2011, 10:50 am

    Yay for Katies!! I’ve always gone by Katie, I can’t really imagine switching to Katherine. Was it a weird transition for you? Either way, great name 🙂

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:07 pm

      It happened over several years so it was pretty smooth!

  • Callie @ The Wannabe Athlete November 9, 2011, 10:52 am

    The Gingerbread Soy Latte is my favorite too! Already had my first one of the season. But mine is full caf – now that I’m up at ungodly hours with the baby. You’ll be there soon. 🙂

  • Brittany (A Healthy Slice of Life) November 9, 2011, 11:05 am

    Hope you have a good trip! I teared up when I noticed all the gorgeous leaves falling off the trees… here we go… winter. Blah.

  • Lindsey November 9, 2011, 11:06 am

    I agree love the gingerbread latte more than pumpkin spice! I also love the peppermint mocha 🙂

  • Lauren November 9, 2011, 11:18 am

    Oh I went to high school in CT! I wish I could go to your event!

  • kaitlin @4lovecarrots November 9, 2011, 11:31 am

    I live in ct and it is 60s all week! Perfect time to come and forget a jacket 🙂 p.s. if you have time you should definitely hike sleeping giant it is across the street from Quinnipiac

  • Debbie November 9, 2011, 11:31 am

    Quinnipiac is a beautiful campus…especially in the Fall…weather is actually unusually gorgeous in New England this week..so you lucked out!

  • Carolina John November 9, 2011, 11:32 am

    Yea we only get about 2 weeks of fall. Seems like it went quicker this year!

    I finally got my ironman race report up this morning. insane.

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:06 pm

      I saw on Facebook you got the tattoo! SO EXCITED.

  • Mary @ Bites and Bliss November 9, 2011, 11:39 am

    It’s JUST now getting below 50 in the morning’s here. I have a feeling we’re going to slam right into winter, too!

  • Katie @ Peace Love and Oats November 9, 2011, 11:43 am

    Yeah for Katie’s!!! That goat cheese idea sounds delicious…

  • Sara November 9, 2011, 11:45 am

    I grew up in CT! Left a year after graduation and moved to Miami, boyfriend attended UM. Now we live in St. Croix. CT is such a nice place, I think you’ll love it, I’ve been hearing that it is pretty warm, 71 yesterday! Enjoy your trip!

  • Abbie November 9, 2011, 12:02 pm

    I’m so excited that your going to Quinnipiac, my best friend from England moved there to go to uni this year and i miss her, but i’ll make sure to tell her to check you out. I dont know why but i feel we are connected in some way now 🙂

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:04 pm

      😉 thanks Abbie!

  • Katie November 9, 2011, 12:05 pm

    I know I’m a little late to the party, but congratulations on your new addition! You are going to be such an adorable little preggo lady! And thank you for spotlighting these shelter pets. As a mom of 2 shelter dogs, it’s a cause that is close to my heart. Lots of love and good vibes from Cali!

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:02 pm

      Thank you!

  • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 12:06 pm

    I went by Katie my whole childhood as well and my family still calls me it. Well Katie and Kakie – my sister and brother have always called me Kakie… Then somehow it morphed to Caitlin and Cait.

    Strange how your name changes with the different stages of your life…

    (p.s. Something to think about when naming the little nugget! What kind nicknames will his or her kindergarden friends call him/her vs his/her college friends and adult friends…)

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:02 pm

      We’re working hard to choose names that are nicknameless!

      • Sarah November 9, 2011, 6:46 pm

        Sarah is nick-nameless. Which is not to say I think you should name your baby after me… although I can’t say I would hate it…

        But I always wanted a nickname growing up! Random people came up with Sarah-Bear and Squara (wtf?!) but nothing ever stuck. I always wanted something cute and shorten-able like Katie 🙂 Something to think about.

  • Rachel November 9, 2011, 12:07 pm

    I recently bought some gingerbread flavored coffee and it is so good! I’m going to have to try the Starbucks version now. Have a safe flight!

  • Kendall (On An Inhale) November 9, 2011, 12:16 pm

    My sister goes to QU!!! just emailed her to go see you!!!

  • Casey @ Pocket Full of Sunshine November 9, 2011, 12:21 pm

    I’m definitely going to have to try the gingerbread latte!

    So what does the husband call you? Caitlin or Katie? Just curious! 🙂

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:01 pm

      Caitlin 🙂 He transitioned.

  • Elizabeth @ reads recipes runs November 9, 2011, 12:22 pm

    I totally do the same thing with my name at coffee shops. I feel like it’s just mean to make them write “Elizabeth” on a cup…

  • Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife November 9, 2011, 12:23 pm

    I am definitely an egg and cheese on toast kinda gal!! Plus a small smear of jam. OH tasty 🙂 Just had one. Can’t get enough!

    Have a safe flight!

  • Mel November 9, 2011, 12:31 pm

    Oh the shelter dogs….melt my heart~ I have two or I would take them all!! Someone please take them..they will change your life for the better.
    Anyways, decalf- does this mean you are giving up caffine for pregnancy? I would love to hear your thoughts on this. One of my gf’s drank a cup of joe everyday and a glass of wine occasionally while pregnant. What are you planning on doing?

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:01 pm

      i’m just keeping it under 200 mg a day, which I’ve read increases the risk of miscarriage.

      I will prob have a small glass of wine every now and then when I’m out of the pivotal first trimester.

  • Liz @ Tip Top Shape November 9, 2011, 12:33 pm

    I’ve never tried the gingerbread latte. As an avid coffee drinker, I am sort of surprised by this! lol If it’s better than the pumpkin spice,though, I think I need to give it a go!

  • Amber K November 9, 2011, 12:49 pm

    Great quote at the end. I gotta remember that!

  • Erin November 9, 2011, 12:52 pm

    I worked at Quinnipiac for a year about 5 years ago– beautiful school and very sweet people– there is not a whole lot in hamden though…(please tell me you are not staying at the hotel right next to the school…I’m not a fan) New Haven (Yale) is about 10 minutes away and there are some good restaurants there (good hole-in-the-wall mexican). If you are looking for a quick meal in hamden, the Corner Deli is good! Fun fact about Hamden: They have a really cool Eli Whitney museum (inventor of the cotton gin)– he had a factory there and I believe is from that area. Have fun!

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 6:00 pm

      I have been here before! you’re bringing back all these memories!

  • Christina November 9, 2011, 12:53 pm

    I’m from CT! It’s unseasonably warm today, so you may do okay without a coat 🙂

  • Amy November 9, 2011, 12:57 pm

    If you have time, I’d recommend these 3 restaurants in nearby New Haven: http://www.clairescornercopia.com/
    http://sallysapizza.com/default.aspx or http://www.pepespizzeria.com/
    First is a casual vegetarian place, 2nd and 3rd are pizza places…

  • Paige (Running Around Normal) November 9, 2011, 1:03 pm

    Good luck on the preso, Caitlin (err Katie? :))

    I also love adding a schmear of avocado to toast to give it a boost. So tasty!

  • Bo November 9, 2011, 1:19 pm

    It’s lovely here today, but everyone else has already said that. I could have sworn you were in Ct sometime last year with Operation Beautiful. I thought you went to Edge of the Woods for a meal. Or maybe I have you mixed up with another blogger. Enjoy the day!

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 5:59 pm

      Was I? Maybe I have been before! I tend to forget the places I went to because I come and go so quickly!

  • Charlie November 9, 2011, 1:19 pm

    Now I want a gingerbread latte :p.

  • Kiran @ KiranTarun.com November 9, 2011, 1:24 pm

    Have a great trip!

    The sun is shining brightly here in Orlando 🙂

  • Ellie@fitforthesoul November 9, 2011, 1:34 pm

    Fall, come back! haha. Okay, here it’s now finally becoming real Fall. 😛 Heyyy if you forgot a jacket, you know what that means~a chance to go and buy a new one! Teehee. Please take care of yourself and stay warm, Katie! 🙂

  • kate November 9, 2011, 1:35 pm

    i tried to transition to Katherine when i got older so have a “grown up” name. but honestly, no matter how legal is it, i will never feel like a Katherine. i only try go by Kate now as a joke. i read somewhere that tom cruise wanted katie holmes to be called kate to sound more adult… hahaha. honestly, it never mattered what i said, everyone always calls me Katie. Go Katie!

  • Yolie @ Practising Wellness November 9, 2011, 1:47 pm

    Have a safe flight and a fabulous presentation! That breakfast looks so so good – i can imagine that soft goat cheese plus fried eggs would be AMAZING! 😀 Love James. I wish I lived in the US, I’ve been so touched by those shelter dogs posts – I hope and pray that Mr. Knuckles finds a home! It’s wonderful what you’re doing, raising awareness like this <3 xyx

  • Rosa - Fitness, Food, Fulfilled November 9, 2011, 1:47 pm

    I had Starbucks caramel hot chocolate the other day and it was so fantastic. Can’t wait for another.
    I love fall. The changing leaves are beautiful and wearing boots and scarves together is the best.

  • Jen November 9, 2011, 1:49 pm

    I’ve gone by Jen since 4th grade, but most of my family still calls me Jenny. My family and anyone who was in band with me during high school– my first year (8th grade), a lot of my older sister’s friends were in band so they called me Jenny and it just stuck haha!

  • kirsten November 9, 2011, 2:03 pm

    welcome to my state! the weather is actually great today!

  • Moni'sMeals November 9, 2011, 2:24 pm

    Safe travels!

    This quote could solve so many issues for the world! I love it.

  • Anne @strawberryjampackedlife November 9, 2011, 2:37 pm

    All of the trees around our house suddenly dropped their leaves on Saturday night. Our driveway was COVERED!

    I hope you’ll be fine in CT without a jacket. It’s 67 up in Boston today! Absolutely gorgeous!

  • Hillary November 9, 2011, 2:38 pm

    How funny—my dad’s a QU grad! Enjoy it; it’s beautiful there.

  • Lauren @ Focused 2 Be Fit November 9, 2011, 2:40 pm

    Mmmm! I love the Gingerbread, but mine is even more high maintenance – Grande Soy One Pump Gingerbread Latte!!! So legit 🙂

  • Jessica November 9, 2011, 2:44 pm

    I first tried the goat cheese with eggs on toast about a year ago when a friend introduced it to me. At first, I thought it wouldn’t be a wise move but I have it now at least once a week for breakfast.

  • Dawn November 9, 2011, 2:59 pm

    Quinnipiac University was actually one of the places I was considering applying to for graduate school. I too have never visited that part of the country so wasn’t sure how I would like it. I also live in NC so I fear I would be miserable all winter. Curious to hear what you think of it.

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 5:58 pm

      Yeah I think NC’s weather is pretty bomb. It’s pretty here but too cold!

  • Ari @ Ari's Menu November 9, 2011, 3:05 pm

    Gingerbread is my my very favorite–especially with soy!! Yummmm.

  • Jen November 9, 2011, 3:13 pm

    Great timing! I have a girl’s night date at Starby’s tonight and was planning to get a PSL, but maybe now I’ll try the gingerbread one instead. Decisions, decisions!

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 5:55 pm

      do it!

  • Lisa (bakebikeblog) November 9, 2011, 3:22 pm

    that is one tasty sounding latte!

  • allison @ thesundayflog November 9, 2011, 3:30 pm

    i’ve gone by ali my ENTIRE life. no one ever called me allison unless i was in trouble. i went the longer route with my first job, too, and it’s still awkward when i’ll answer the phone “this is ali” and yet none of my co-workers knew i was ever called that! katie it is!

  • Sara @my less serious life November 9, 2011, 4:32 pm

    I am SO making this toast + goat cheese + fried egg on toast for dinner tonight. breakfast food – whatever! looks so good. 🙂

  • Carin November 9, 2011, 4:44 pm

    Hope you’re not too chilly – but you’ll soon be as warm as toast all the time, anyway – I felt really hot during both pregnancies! ood timing – you get to be warm in Winter and Spring and then it’ll be Summer when you’re doing the 3-hourly feeds through the night – much easier to get up while it’s warm and not freezing!

    Do you have any guidelines on what to eat or avoid while you’re pregnant? They give out a list in NZ but it changes all the time – my friend is supposed to be avoiding hummus but I ate it all the time. Just wondering because of the goat cheese and eggs (yummy though they look) – because I’m veggie and don’t drink, the only think I missed when pregnant was runny yolks and dippy eggs!

    • Caitlin November 9, 2011, 5:55 pm

      They said I can still eat runny eggs as long as its steaming in the middle! And goat cheese as long as its pasteurized. THANK GOD.

      • Carin November 9, 2011, 8:50 pm

        Hoorah! God, I HATED having to order well-done eggs benedict for those 8.5 months (both babies delivered 2 weeks early… purely so that I could eat runny eggs again, obviously.

        The other mums in my “coffee group” were all craving sushi and wine and said they’d have it straight after giving birth – I have it on good authority that one had a “sushi’n’champers” picnic in their room at the birthing centre!

  • Julie (A Case of the Runs) November 9, 2011, 4:46 pm

    That’s exactly how I order mine…. sometimes I even tell them to do it “half sweet” when I’m not really in the mood for all that flavor in the morning.

    I’ve been a fan of gingerbread for years and never quite got the whole pumpkin spice thing. Good that others are seeing the light.

  • Julia H. @ The Petite Spiel November 9, 2011, 5:09 pm

    I’m so used to thinking of you as Caitlin that it feels weird to hear Katie! I’ll try, I’ll try…

    Have fun in Connecticut! I’ve never been there either, so let us know how it goes (as I’m sure you will)!

  • Heidi November 9, 2011, 5:14 pm

    Your pregnancy is a bad news to the world… The baby will be a product of a fake doctor who doesn’t even practice the traditional chinese medicine (2 years of study and use pill base medication which is not traditional at all) but got a mere license in Florida plus a money hungry blogger who makes her money off preaching positivity when you could get that for free. Plus the baby is going to be ginger + ostrich= UGLY. I don’t care for all the defensive comments because I know I am right.

    • Carin November 9, 2011, 8:46 pm

      I’m only replying to you “Heidi” to give you a thrill, seeing as you’re clearly someone who wants to be provocative. WTF is your problem? Why would someone who clearly dislikes/ disapproves of a blogger whom they’ve never met even READ the blog, let alone bother to comment? Yes, you can get positivity “for free” – but you don’t appear to have bothered to get any yourself. Kristien is NOT a “fake doctor”, he’s a health professional who helps people to heal themselves by tapping into their inner resources. If you’re tapping into yours in this post, they’re shallow, murky and causing you to be a sad, bitter individual. You may “know (you) are right” but that – like your negative, unfounded and downright offensive views” is subjective. Your world can’t be a great place.

      BTW, I’m ginger, like ostriches and am not ugly… unlike your attitude. Hope you recover soon.

        That is more didactic hours then in conventional medical school!

        I also looked at his website and apparently he was the valedictorian of his class. I guess being a ginger is a real disadvantage?

    I’m a Quinnipiac grad!!! So excited that you’re speaking there! 🙂 I lived in that area for a total of 6 years, so I’m feeling nostalgic right now. 🙂

    I need to try the gingerbread next time and also to remember for once to request soy!

    Have fun at Q!
    I actually looked at going to college there and remember it being in a beautiful area of the state.

    I had a skinny hot chocolate with gingerbread the other day and it was gooooooood!

    My brother went to Quinnipiac, and so did Erin (Grass Skirt) in Charlotte! Yeah, I don’t miss the dirty snow drifts all over the place in New England. One of my friends in NH lost power for four days and her neighborhood actually postponed Halloween trick-or-treating that week. Nuts!

    Oh my, I really hope Mr Knuckles finds a good and loving home. So sad to think he might have to get put down! 🙁 Well done for spreading the word!
