Lunch was simple and quick:
I had a whole wheat bagel with an egg + grilled green peppers.
And a side salad and an orange.
Tour of Our Apartment
I wanted to share a tour of my apartment after seeing Kath’s home. I made this video during my lunch break. :)
This is our life as we really live it — messy closets and all! :)
((Sorry, the video isn’t working anymore! I’ll re-post if it fixes itself))
Enjoy!

So fun – thanks for sharing!! Your dogs are adorable 🙂
June 1, 2009, 10:54 am
Love the house tour!!! Maybe I’ll hop on board too =)
Love all the closet space. And of course the giant TVs!!!
June 1, 2009, 10:55 am
love love love it girl!!! Hubby is going to put my medals in a chadow box, just an idea:) Thanks for being real!
June 1, 2009, 10:57 am
haha cute. I love the way your bedroom turned out!
June 1, 2009, 10:58 am
cute video, Caitlin–thanks for the tour! It’s always interesting to hear the actual voices of the people I read, too.
June 1, 2009, 11:01 am
I love egg sandwiches 🙂
We have a house and you have about 5-6 MORE closets than we do! Our house was built in the 40s, though, so people had less stuff 🙂
Is it strange that your voice sounds totally different than I thought it would? It’s so weird how we think we know how people look/sound just from seeing them in pictures of emailing.
June 1, 2009, 11:01 am
Loved seeing James' tail wag!!
I do the same with my medals, hang them off the closet door handle in my 2nd bedroom. But what I plan on doing is having all 10 engraved with the date & time on them and putting a couple nails in the wall and hang them up next to my shadow box of my first marathon & second marathon frames.
http://lindsaycb.blogspot.com/2009/05/here-they-are.html This is the link for the frames, you can see the spot where I will hang the medals shortly.
June 1, 2009, 11:03 am
What a great post! I love seeing the different ways people decorate! I absolutely love your bedroom furniture, it all ties together so nicely! My fiance also requires that we have a huge nice TV, because we watch way too much of it!
Thanks for sharing another piece of your life with us!
June 1, 2009, 11:05 am
You have way more closet space than us and we have a house, and it isn’t a very old house either! Loved the tour!
June 1, 2009, 11:05 am
Such a cool idea! I want to do a tour of my apartment now! lol
I’m jealous of your tvs. I have a small boxey tv from my dorm still lol.
June 1, 2009, 11:07 am
love the tour, I think I’ll do one too! My metals from high school are hanging in my bedroom on a rack my dad bought me but my university ones are kind of all over the place…
June 1, 2009, 11:11 am
what a nice place!! also you have such a cute slight southern accent 🙂
June 1, 2009, 11:13 am
This was such a fun post! I love it. Josh and I eat at our coffee table too. I love the personal paintings- Josh’s sister painted a few of the pics in our house and I love them.
Hi Maggie!! She is such a cutie.
I like the color of the bedroom- its a very calming blue.
June 1, 2009, 11:19 am
Oh! and I meant to say that I hang my medals over my desk so I can look at them for motivation. I posted a blog about that this morning!
June 1, 2009, 11:23 am
I love the tour of the apartment! I think I might do one 😀
June 1, 2009, 11:24 am
Thanks for the great tour of your place. I’m also jealous of all of your closets because our townhouse doesn’t have the greatest storage, even with the little one-car garage!
June 1, 2009, 11:26 am
Nice tour! I love home tours 🙂 I’m glad other people do them. I want to do one of our house, too, but I’m always afraid it will seem like I’m bragging or something.
I only have two medals (even though I’ve run over 10 races) and one is technically a key chain. So, I use the key chain one and the other one I put in a shadow box with some race memorabilia. I wanted to put the medal in a frame next to a photo of me at the finish line, but the finish line photo was horrible! You could barely even tell who I was. So, no photo 🙂 The shadow box is currently sitting on my desk at home but once I move offices at work I’m going to hang it up in there.
June 1, 2009, 11:34 am
You have a wonderful apartment!! I’m jealous of all your closet space. I don’t have any that aren’t in the bedrooms so all my junk is out in the open.
I actually thought the neatest part about the video was hearing the way you talk!! I work in radio, so I always take notice of people’s voices. You kind of have an accent?? But I live in Atlantic Canada, so I bet you’d think I have an accent too 😛
June 1, 2009, 11:42 am
TOO CUTE!
Especially the doggies…
June 1, 2009, 11:42 am
I just love tours of peoples’ homes! It reminds me a friend’s apt. in Pembroke Pines.
Thank you for sharing! Beautifully decorated! Very clean too! But obviously the dogs were my favorite part since I am crazy about my little canine friends.
June 1, 2009, 11:43 am
Ha! My ex-boyfriend has the same bed!
Love the place!
June 1, 2009, 11:44 am
Caitlin,
I loved seeing your apartment – it is so nice!!! I really love your bedroom. And seeing the doggies in real life was awesome!
I too was surprised by your voice. I detected a PA accent there. Where did you grow up?
June 1, 2009, 11:45 am
Thanks for sharing your space! It’s quite spacious and I love the dog ledge.
June 1, 2009, 11:49 am
thanks everyone 🙂
megan – i was born in miami but i lived in pittsburgh from age 18 – 22. people say i have a southern accent!
June 1, 2009, 11:53 am
So weird, but AWESOME to hear your voice!! haha! who would have guessed that you’d sound so different then I’d imagined, or even that I would have a preconceived notion of what your voice sounds like at all!? Weird!
But you sound nice, not weird… lol.
June 1, 2009, 11:54 am
Your apt is so cute! I love your kitchen! Black is so clean looking and you have tons of counter space that I’m jealous of 😛
June 1, 2009, 11:55 am
you’re so cute! haha I bet home tours are going to be stock up in our friendly neighborhood blog stalker’s round up this week. 😉
June 1, 2009, 11:55 am
So fun! I loved seeing your place! My favorite part? Maggie and James in action 🙂 I really think I need to steal them, they are just so darn cute!
June 1, 2009, 11:56 am
Thanks for the fun tour. I love seeing how other people decorate and what kinds of furniture they have. fun, fun!
I too have a horseshoe over the door in my condo/apartment but it’s over my bedroom.
I think some others may have mentioned this already, but I think a shadowbox with pictures from the races would be a great way to display and reminisce about your races! You could even line the back of it with your bibs if you still have those, cause I’m a diy- with the materials on hand kinda girl! 😀
June 1, 2009, 11:57 am
Ahh you sound so American! (I realise how ridiculous that comment is, as I already knew you were). I guess like everyone said it’s strange hearing people’s voiced after only every reading things they’ve written!
June 1, 2009, 12:05 pm
once I built up a small collection of medals, I plan to send mine here
http://www.medals4mettle.org/
there was an article in Runner’s World awhile ago about this
your southern accent was surprising!
June 1, 2009, 12:06 pm
I completely covet your second bedroom!! And I wasn’t expecting your voice to sound like it did either, hehe 😀
June 1, 2009, 12:13 pm
Oh that was fun! I loved it! Your dogs are so cute! And I love the nonchalant way you have your medals just draped on the doorknob!
Another blog I read, http://www.KellysKornerBlog.com/ does the same thing on Fridays – called Show Us Where You Live. It’s great to see how different everyone is
June 1, 2009, 12:13 pm
Cute doggies! I love how thier little tails wagged when you said their names! 🙂
June 1, 2009, 12:25 pm
Great video!
June 1, 2009, 12:31 pm
Nice aparment! It’s a lot cleaner than this pigstye!
June 1, 2009, 12:31 pm
What a fun post! I love seeing your apartment…very cute! So are the doggies! I have giant TV’s in my house too…the HUSBAND of course! 🙂 A shadow box for your medals might be a nice idea?
June 1, 2009, 12:35 pm
Caitlin! I loved seeing your apartment. Your voice sounds different than I imagined in my head:)
June 1, 2009, 12:39 pm
Love it! My husband was walking by as I was watching this and got drawn in..he is SUPER jealous of both of your TV’s 😉 You have a lovely home!
June 1, 2009, 12:39 pm
You did not sound at all like I expected you to!
The dogs are so cute. I love where James hangs out – good spot!

June 1, 2009, 12:49 pm
aw Maggie and James are making me miss my doggies. I love the squeaker toys…funniest thing happened when one day I heard my dog squeaking away, walked into my parents room and she was on the bed surrounded by stuffing, happily chomping on the white squeaky part. love it.
June 1, 2009, 12:51 pm
Your voice sounds waaay different than I though it would! And where is the husband?? I wanted to hear the accent. 🙂
June 1, 2009, 12:52 pm
You are truly brave for opening up your lives to your readers. Bloggers already make themselves quite vulnerable but the fact that you gave the general public a tour of your home is amazing. I’m very appreciative of such a large gesture. Thanks for sharing Caitlin!
June 1, 2009, 12:52 pm
I have to agree with everyone about your voice. It was very unexpected but I like it 🙂
Very cute apartment. My bf is the same way about TVs.
June 1, 2009, 1:10 pm
i agree about your voice – totally not what i expected! and i also detected a PA accent in there. must be all that time you spent at pitt?
June 1, 2009, 1:21 pm
Your place is so cute definitely didn’t think apartment looking at it. I love that your puppies have a window seat so do ours 🙂
June 1, 2009, 1:25 pm
I noticed you mentioned you lived in PA previously(I do currently). If you don’t mind me asking, is the cost of living a lot more in FL than PA?
thanks!
June 1, 2009, 1:37 pm
Awesome! I love seeing everyone’s places. Especially foodies’ fridges/pantries 🙂
June 1, 2009, 1:38 pm
Your apartment is so cute! I’m totally jealous of your TV’s.
June 1, 2009, 2:01 pm
I blog from my “kitchen” table too!! Actually, I do pretty much everything from my kitchen table seeing as how my desk is full of photos, misc papers and cat toys 🙂
June 1, 2009, 2:03 pm
other caitlin – actually i think the cost of living is about the same between pitt and orlando. orlando might be a little higher, but not by much. i think there are websites where you can compare the cost of living in two different cities.
June 1, 2009, 2:13 pm
Amazing looking lunch!
I’ll view the video if it works later 🙂
June 1, 2009, 2:14 pm
OK I’m seriously in love with your dogs! So cute!
June 1, 2009, 2:59 pm
Mmmm bagel sandwiches!! I used to eat one of those almost everyday – so good!
June 1, 2009, 3:10 pm
Aww no I missed it!!! Hope it works!
June 1, 2009, 4:03 pm
I watched it earlier before it stopped working. It was fun to see where you live! I love your balcony area. Also, I think it’s funny that you said you live on the 2nd floor so you feel safe. When we were looking for apartments I had a no first floor rule!
June 1, 2009, 4:39 pm
thank you! 🙂
June 1, 2009, 4:52 pm
Man, I missed it! I have a feeling that both yours and Kath's houses are way neater than mine!
June 1, 2009, 5:32 pm
I'm sorry I missed the video, I hope you find a way to fix it!
June 1, 2009, 7:04 pm
Boo, wish I could have seen the video!
Egg + green peppers… awesome combo.
June 1, 2009, 7:23 pm
your lunch looks good! did you put any dressing on the salad?
June 1, 2009, 7:24 pm
april- no im not really a fan of dressing 🙂
June 1, 2009, 7:41 pm
Awe, I missed the video! I hope it comes back soon so I can see it!

Cool! I loved seeing Kath’s place and I loved seeing your place, too! You guys have WAY more closet space than me, and I own a house! It was built in the 50’s, though, and I just don’t think people had as much crap, I mean, wonderful things, as they do today!
