After work today this little lady demanded attention… and a lot of it!
The dog park was the only activity I could think of that would allow Sadie to sprint around and expend the energy that was coursing through her scrawny little body.
I think she liked the plan.
Since it was 90 degrees outside, Sadie spent the majority of our time at the park in the lake.
Once we were done frolicking around, we headed home for dinner.
But first… appetizers!
What? McDonald’s vanilla soft serve cones make fantastic appetizers.
Dinner
The cone did a great job of warding off hunger until dinner was ready.
Baked salmon and roasted kale filled up my belly in no time at all.
A glass of red wine was also enjoyed.
Time to relax!
Tomorrow is a BIG day. Stay tuned for major announcement in the morning!

so approve of the ‘appetizer’ ! mcdonalds soft serve is actually the reason my boyfriend of two years and I met! yum 🙂
Oh goodness – I’m excited about this big announcement! 🙂
Enjoy your night, Julie. With a glass of that red wine, how can you not?!
OOh, I love big announcements–now I have something to look forward to tomorrow morning!
Now, I’m looking forward to ending my day with a glass of red wine–once this bar exam class is over!
A glass of red wine sound perfect right about now! And I’m excited to hear your announcement! Have a great night!
I’m about to have a glass of white! 😀 delicious
Oh a glass of wine sounds about like heaven right now… only 3 more months until I can indulge! 🙂
Love little Sadie!
Mmm, I do love a cone from Mickey D’s. Looks delish!
I wish my dog would run around at the dog park. She has a small problem wherein she hates other dogs (she loves people, though!). She likes to pretend she is the only dog in NYC and gets very upset when she sees evidence to the contrary. Visits to the dog park do not end well.
Enjoy the rest of your night!
Doggies are such a great way to force us to exercise – definitely one of the many benefits of having one!
That salmon looks delicious, I love seafood and am so ready to start grilling fish once the weather here gets a bit nicer.
McDonald’s ice cream cones is one of my favorite summer sweet treats! It sure does sound like a great appetizer 🙂
So jealous of that ice cream cone right about now 🙂
$1.06 well spent!
$1.06? What a random price!
How do you keep Sadie so clean? Sometimes I don’t take my dog to the park b/c I dread how dirty she gets and giving her a bath is such a production. Would love any suggestions!
we’re actually lucky in that sadie has really short hair and doesn’t get too dirty. that being said, we always keep towels in the car and let her get try before toweling her off so sand and dirt rubs off.
And by try I mean dry 🙂
By any chance are you moving to NC?? I know you have mentioned NC a few times on the blog & Twitter…. I can’t wait to hear your news! I also agree that a soft serve is a perfect appetizer.
Seeing all of your pictures of Sadie makes me want a Vizsla. lol. 🙂 Can’t wait to hear about the big announcement tomorrow!
Looking forward to a big announcement!
Quick question: I have never roasted kale before… it looks delicious! Can you point me in the right direction?
toss it in olive oil and garlic salt and roast for approximately 15 minutes at 350 degrees!
I love McDonalad’s cones. So yumm 🙂
Can’t wait to hear the exciting post/announcement tomorrow!
I can’t wait to hear your announcement!
Love the appetizer 🙂
Such suspense with this major announcement! My guess is you’re quitting your job and full-time blogging 😉
Love pictures of your dog! I can’t get enough; she’s so stinkin’ cute.
Sadie pictures just make my day!! Can’t wait to hear your announcement! 🙂
it’s so weird. my dog does not go crazy at the dog park! but he’ll go crazy everywhere else! i wonder why that is!
Sadie faces kill me! She’s so expressive 😛
I’ve never tried kale, but I’m seeing it all over the place these days!
I thought the big news would come today…so I thought The Bachelorette talk was it–hahaha!
If it’s what I think it is (although I have no idea), that’s huge!! I’m just guessing though 🙂
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT?! Can’t wait.
Awee, smiling doggie! Love the captions, haha
Ah I wanna know what it isss!!! Ice cream and red wine sound amazing right now!
I think Sadie would love my Guinness. G can never get out and play enough. And she demands attention and affection from me at all hours of the day.
Ah! I’m excited for the big announcement! I have no patience though…haha so this is killllling me!
Can’t wait to hear about it! My prediction is that … maybe you are moving? New job?
Ahhh I love McDonald’s soft serve cones!!! You can’t beat ice cream for less than $1 🙂
I hope you know my friends and I were emailing back and forth guesses of your pending announcement all day today. 🙂
Haha I kind of love this! I hope you win!
aww sadie is so cute!! and mcdonald’s vanilla cones are my guilty pleasure.
I love the picture of Sadie “best day ever” — she has such a big smile! 🙂
Can’t wait to hear the news!
I agree…..Ice Cream=Best appetizer ever…..You are too cute!
Love mcd’s soft serve cones! I just got done looking at all your weekend pics. Looks like a good time. Its so crazy in one of the pics where your wearing your fishy shirt the other girl in the pic looks like a girl I use to be friends with Olivia. I’m sure its not her but we both lived in GA and after 4th grade she moved to FL and I moved clear across the nation on the west coast. We stayed in touch for awhile but as we got older we lost touch. It would be so neat if it were her.
No Olivias were there… would’ve been cool though!
Love soft serve on a hot day! Looks like a great Tuesday 🙂
I’m so anxious to hear your announcement tomorrow!!
I love that you drink your red wine chilled too! What kind was that?
My whole family likes it chilled! It’s called Southern Red from a local winery here, Lakeridge Winery.
How do you season your salmon? I’m trying to learn to like it. 🙂
The anticipation is killing meeeeeee!
I hope the BIG announcement happens in the breakfast post!! I don’t know if I can wait that long!!! Well, at least we can all rule out a baby 😉
Your dog is the best…she seriously cracks me up every time! She must be super energetic! Can’t wait to hear about the news
such great pics of your pup! if only humans had as much energy as dogs!!! =)
ooooh, a big announcement! 🙂 looking forward to it!
okay and a frosty from McD’s is always the perfect treat anytime. that salmon though looked amazing. i’m such a big fan of seafood…love it all!
Bahahah I was wondering if you were pregnant, BUT the wine cancels that idea out! 😀
yum i love mcdonalds soft serve!!
Have you ever had a dipped mcdonalds soft serve cone? so good! the chocolate hardens into a crunchy shell encapsulating the vanilla goodness! ;p
Mmmmm…I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a better appetizer than McDonald’s Ice cream. Yummy! Smart to post the wine to rule out a baby 🙂 I’m SOOOOO curious about your news!!!
Best appetizer in my books! Haha well the red wine ruled out what i thought could be the big announcement ;)..will defo be tuning in to read about it!
Ooh a big announcement! Can’t wait!
