Today has been quite a productive little Saturday!
Before lunch, Ryan and I leashed up Sadie for a walk around the lake near our apartment.
Apparently the beautiful weather beckoned to a lot of people, because the path around Lake Eola was packed with people and dogs and, near the lake’s edge, bird poop.
Look at all that poooooo!
After our walk, we changed into our bathing suits and enjoyed the sun in our backyard while Sadie hunted lizards.
I get bored really easily when I’m just laying out, so I made Ryan play a little game with me that I made up called the “game of threes.”
First, someone names three somewhat similar foods, and then you have to put them in order of your preference, assuming each food named is prepared perfectly to your liking.
For example, I first posed these three food items: Ice cream, soft serve and milkshakes.
Ryan said ice cream was his winner, followed by milkshakes and soft serve. For me, soft serve takes the cake, followed by ice cream and then milkshakes.
It’s an oddly entertaining game and we played many rounds.
Other threes included:
- Hamburgers, hot dogs or brats
- Cookies, cake or brownies
- Grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly or fluffernutters
- Beef, pork or chicken
Lunch
After about an hour, we came inside for lunch. My meal was a three-part meal comprised of a cup of strawberry banana Greek yogurt, a small bag of kettle corn and a melted Swiss cheese sandwich.
Once our bellies were satisfied, we hopped into Ryan’s car to run some errands. First, we dropped off some of his dry cleaning at the same place I needed to go to get a dress altered.
Then it was off to Goodwill to drop off some clothes, purses and other household items we no longer wanted.
We also perused the store and I found an adorable belt for $1.99!
Score!
I also can’t wait for the Fourth of July so I can wear my brand new skort!
Just kidding. 
Once our errands were done, we came home and immediately headed back out separately. Ryan went to help his friend Dru move while I went to get a pedicure. Would you believe I haven’t painted my toenails since our wedding!?
Let’s just say I feel much better about my feet now.
Now it’s time to change! We have dinner plans with another couple tonight and I hear pizza is on the menu…
While I’m away, feel free to weigh in and play the game of threes:
- Ice cream, soft serve or milkshakes?
- Cake, cookies or brownies?

Fun day!
ice cream, soft serve milkshakes!

Ooohhhh yeahhhhhh!
The weather has been beautiful here too! Glad you had a wonderful day 🙂 My threes would be: soft serve, ice cream, milkshakes then cookies, brownies, cake! Have a great evening!
soft serve, ice cream, milkshake
brownies, cookies, cake(just for the frosting) lol
Oh fun!
Soft serve, ice cream, milk shakes
Cookies, brownies, cake!
p.s. SO jealous that you got to lay out today. My ghostly white skin neeeeds the sun!
Sadie is such a cute dog! I love that she can run with you and is so active. 🙂
I would say…
-soft serve, milkshakes, ice cream
-brownies, cookies, cake
soft serve, ice cream, milkshakes!
cookies, brownies, cake.
plain m&ms, peanut m&ms, or peanut butter m&ms??
i love peanut, then plain, then peanut butter!!
What a fun game, I get so entertained by things like this.
Ice cream, milkshakes, then soft serve – as long as they are all chocolate.
Then, cookies, brownies, and cake. I would much rather have cookies over brownies or cake anyday!
This sounds like a good game for road trips!! For me, it’s ice cream, milkshakes, then soft serve, and brownies, cookies, cake. (I’m not big on actual cake, just the icing!!)
This game of threes is hard! How ’bout we just throw them ALL in a big bowl & dig in?!
Id definetely have to go with Ice cream then soft serve and then milkshakes. And cake, brownies, cookies. The cake would have to be Black Forest cake though lol. And ice cream either mint chocolate chip or cotton candy!!
im with ya! i cant just sit and do nothing- i love games like that! brownies then cookies than cake!
Haha! I was taken aback with that skort. Tried not to judge before I saw your j/k note. LOL.
1- Ice Cream, soft serve, milkshake
2- Cake, brownies, cookies
Okay first…it is a tragedy that you have not painted your nails since Oct! I get mine down every 3 weeks..not for the color, but for the relaxation 😉
Answers:
Milkshake, ice cream, softserve
Cookies, cake, brownies
soft serve, ice cream, milkshakes
cake, brownies, cookies.
Milkshakes hand down, then hand served, then soft served
And Cookies no question, then cake, then brownies…cookies can be a vessel for all the other contenders…you can make cake cookies, and brownie cookies..comon
Ice cream, soft serve, milkshakes
brownies, cake, cookies
and btw – lizards?! there are lizards in your back yard? LOL do they ever come into the house? *yikes*
This is a super tricky Game of Threes! How can one choose?
1. MILKSHAKE (peanut butter chocolate or raspberry yogurt), ICE CREAM (vanilla bean, chocolate fudge brownie, or cookie dough), SOFT SERVE (good ol’ vanilla in a dish).
2. CAKE (my dad’s German chocolate with coconut pecan icing), BROWNIES (my mom’s deep dish), COOKIES (white chocolate macadamia or my mom’s oatmeal chocolate chip).
I am insanely envious of the gorgeous weather in Florida. It’s 50 degrees in my state, and that’s considered a heat wave 😉
I love little games like that! I am going to use it!
hmm this is kind of tricky…. probably
milkshake, soft serve, ice cream
cake, brownies, cookies
They are all so good though 😉
I LOVE your blog.
It is the best blog on the internet.
All my friends agree.
You have a lovely relationship.
I thought you were serious about the skort LOL ha ha !
You should put it on one day as a joke, and see what Ryan would say!!!!!!! hilarious!!
I got a pedicure last week and it instantly made me feel prettier. It’s silly, but running makes my feet less than stellar.
When the pedicurist asked if I wanted my callus sanded down I said “NO!” don’t they know that a soft heel is impossible to run on??
I clicked that link and was glancing at all your wedding posts (I’m a new reader), and found that you went to the same place as we did for our honeymoon! And we ALSO stayed at the South Seas Resort!!! SO crazy! We did a little Florida, Georgia, Carolinas road trip and Sanibel was our first stop! We loved it, I daydream about being back on the honeymoon all the time… 🙂

When we used to walk around that lake we always saw huge, creepy colorful turkey-like birds. Are they still there?? I think it was around Christmas-time when we saw them the most…ughh SO creepy. I hate birds! But I would LOVE being able to walk around the lake everyday.
yes! ryan and i call them the “bullies” of lake eola.
ice cream, soft serve, milkshakes
cake, brownies, cookies (this one was tough)!
Ice cream and cookies (chocolate chip) hands down! Great game idea!
Those shorts are totally stylin! 😉 Geez, I can only imagine who actually thought those would be a good idea to wear at one time.
1. soft serve, 2. ice cream, 3. milkshakes and 1. cookies, 2. cake, 3.brownies. Sounds like a productive day!
Ice cream for sure!
Love this game! I don’t know how I could ever decide, though! I mean, it just depends on my mood . . . do I want frosting? Or a chewy brownie? And can I have ice cream WITH any of this? I’m a mess when it comes to prioritizing desserts!
So jealous of the beautiful weather and lake! Looks so pretty! I am now going to down some popcorn because that looks TASTY.
That game sounds like fun 😀
For me it’s ice cream… and none other!
Annnnndd, cookies, cake, brownies

Put them all together…I like ice cream with bits of cake or cookies in it! And forget all those cold treats…I like CUSTARD! Okay I’d be terrible at playing this game.
oh custard changes EVERYTHING! i love that stuff.
Haha, I get bored too.
Can I Say custard too??? haha, thick and creamy ice cream!, Soft serve, milkshakes.
Cookies for sure, (half baked) brownies, then cake.
so firstly sooo jealous you can lay around outside!!! I was happy I didn’t have to wear my winter coat today, we still have a couple feet of snow left! also is that a real D&G bag you gave away to goodwill???
noooo a definite knock-off!
I’m going to use that game for long road trips!
One questions…what in the world are fluffernutters??? 🙂
a elicious sandwich made with peanut butter and marshmallow cream!
That game is a great idea, will definitely be torturing some people with it on an upcoming road trip!
Gonna go with:
