Well, um, that didn’t happen… yet.
Rather than get a jump start on some chores, I opted to tag along to Ryan’s soccer game. Initially I planned on staying home because it was supposed to rain, but when the weather looked promising, Sadie and I went along to Red Bug Park to cheer on our favorite soccer player.
Though I tried my best to pay attention, I inevitably got a little bored and called my friend Leah to catch up. She entertained me through most of the game and I loved hearing about her wedding planning! I can’t wait to see her in Chicago in May for her bachelorette party. Woo!
Though my soccer fan skills are admittedly a little subpar, Sadie is a fantastic fan!
She didn’t miss a play! She was a good girl and sat on my lap most of the time. (Yes, she is 35 pounds and sat on my lap… Vizsla owners know that not sitting on your lap is not an option.)
Sadie sprung out of my lap a few times when Ryan ran close to the sidelines or when she heard him yell out to his teammates.
We spent about two hours at the park watching Ryan’s game (they won!) before heading home.
Ryan requested a pit stop at Jeremiah’s for some gelati. I’m not one to refuse ice cream, so off we went!
I ordered a peanut butter and vanilla gelati topped with a bit of chocolate soft serve while Ryan opted for his traditional cookies ‘n’ cream combo.
Even Sadie got in on the fun with a little pup cup filled with vanilla soft serve.
Happy dog!
Once we arrived home, I made us quesadillas before whipping up another batch of cookies for the bake sale winner. I ate too much dough from the first batch and didn’t want to send the winner like three cookies, so another batch was necessary.
Once again, more dough was consumed. I am feeling sugar-sluggish right now. Bleh. I think it’s time to actually start tackling those items on my to-do list this time.
Up first: Laundry! I need gym socks!
Question of the Afternoon
You know I’m not one to focus on the negative, but let’s make each other feel better by bragging about our inefficiency and procrastination…
What’s one thing you haven’t done today that you were planning on doing?
I’ll go first: Laundry, clean guest room, paint toe nails, clean kitchen. (See, that was four things. Don’t feel so bad!)

What a PRETTY day! 😀 It’s great here in Jacksonville too! I love it!
Sadie is too cute! 😀
I am right with you on the Sunday To Do List. I had plans to get all these things done and now 5pm has rolled around and I can’t believe how little i’ve gotten done! It looks like you made the most of your afternoon though watching the soccer game!
And those cookies look so tempting! I keep meaning to make this recipe, but now I know I have to!
P.S. – Just kicked off my Spring Shape Up Challenge and there is a giveaway for a $10 iTunes card! Come on over and enter the contest!
Sounds like a great Sunday, Julie!! 🙂
aww you and Sadie are so sweet to go see Ryan’s game!— those cookies sure look YUMMY- i doubt i could resist the dough either!!
ohh i was meant to read MORE of my english book for class.. i still read some, but not enough.. i wnt be happy tomorrow when i have to catch up on my reading!
I was going to do homework and laundry, neither of which are done and it’s not looking promising! Luckily I only have morning classes so I have all afternoon tomorrow to cross a few things off my to-do list.
I want gelati so bad now 🙂 Looks divine!
I really need to get crackin’ on my homework. I’m such a procrastinator!
I have not dusted or vacuumed my apartment yet today…ready, set, go!! I’m right there with ya! Good luck 🙂
I wanted to do a major dropoff at Goodwill to get bags out of the house … but that’ll wait until tomorrow night now. Looking at it positively, it’ll give me more time to pull a few more things, right? 🙂
I wish we had gelato around here!! Miss it!
I bought the book Water for Elephants that you were talking about and I really wanted to read some of it today but instead I watched a movie!! Hopefully I’ll have some time tonight though!
LAUNDRY!!! Working on it now.
I love watching my lover’s sports games 🙂
PS – I’m making your raspberry glazed salmon for dinner and I’m exciiiiiited.
Studying, studying, and oh- studying!
I have been putting off changing sheets and laundry… I will find a million things to do rather than laundry…
I definitely love the feeling of just starting one of my tasks…then I can feel like I can take on anything!
These things happen! I wanted to work out, but I didn’t. I also wanted to go grocery shopping. But I spent time with my best friend over lunch and I spent the afternoon with my fiance instead! It’s all good 🙂
Writing my english paper, but I’m working on it 😉
I was supposed to do some laundry and straighten up the bedroom, but instead I watched youtube videos on how to style hair and played with my hair all day. So maybe I was a little bit productive, just not what I was planning on. 🙂
Hey Julie! This is my first time commenting but I have been reading your blog for a couple of weeks and LOVE it:)
I wanted to get a nice run in today. It has been rainy all weekend and finally cleared up this afternoon. But this weather has made for a sluggish weekend. Sometimes we need those weekends though!
Looks like my run tomorrow will be a good one! 🙂
We just moved to Minnesota from Waterford Lakes (east side of Orlando), and it is snowing today! That caused me to not run my errand at Target (which I’ve been meaning to do for days). Ugh! Looks like you guys had a beautiful day down there!
Oh girl. My unproductive day is going to make you feel SO much better. Things I have not done today that I intended to:
1. Study for A&PII midterm that is occuring tomorrow at 8:30am
2. Study for Stats midterm that is occuring tomorrow at 11am
3. Write 7 thank-you cards
4. Make all 10 of hubby’s and my meals for tomorrow
5. Clean the FEMA-worthy disaster that is my living room
But hey. At least I got my relaxation in. =0)
I just finished a five day stretch of night shifts this morning at 0715 (I’m a med lab tech and work a stretch of nights every month…hospitals never close unfortunately!). I had planned on going to Costco this afternoon after a few hours sleep so I can turn back around to sleeping at night. However I am WAY too groggy and have been in my robe since I woke up at noon. Its now almost time for dinner and I wanted a proper dinner since I tend to live on soup and breakfast when I’m on nights but I’m too lazy to even cook anything! I think I’ll be having a frozen chicken teriyaki noodle bowl and call that supper! Costco tomorrow morning since I’ve got no veggies left except baby carrots and a good dinner tomorrow:)
I need to finish editing and reviewing a manuscript but I just woke up from a nap and am now reading your blog. But I swear now I am going to finish! haha
I have nothing on my to-do list today because it’s a rest day for me & the beginning of spring break! I have lots of things planned for this week (not really a to-do list), just fun activities & recipes.
woke up super late coz i went to bed super late.. no workout (although i havent got a routine), no homework done, no laundry.
to be honest, most days are like the one you had today! the productive stuff i have planned don’t get done haha
Girl, you should TOTALLY not feel bad for actually *enjoying* your Sunday… it is the day of rest, after all! Seriously, I like to do my “chore-like” activities during the week just so I can be a total bum on the weekends. There’s nothing worse than having a huge list of chores to do when the weather is great outside… or when you just want to relax! 20-30 mins of chores while dinner is cookin’ up every weeknight prevents that, for me! And it makes me one happy girl on the weekends 🙂 Embrace it!
i like your mindset! 🙂 i should try to tackle a few things every night so the weekend isn’t eaten up by chores!
read blogs, clean apartment, organize, sign up for commuter benefits, balance my checkbook, call three different friends to whom i owe phone calls, register for a half marathon, cook, go grocery shopping. 🙂
I was totally planning on doing my nails, making black bean brownies, and cleaning out my closet…none of those things happened :/
oh lets see…laundry, work reading (just for knowledge, not mandatory), hair cut (i go high class at hair cuttery), phone calls, get the mail.
i did manage what HAD to be done to start the week, and took a baby nap, designed some new shoes, and watched tons of tv. winning day to me.
I went to a big kite festival in austin tx today and everyoneee brings their dogs.. I saw a vizsla and totally thought of Sadie !! :). Hope you’re having a good Sunday !!
Study… Oops, should probably get on that. Yet, I find blogs so much more interesting!
ha ha, I LOVE this. I had planned on doing several things, but instead went to Starbucks and the mall with a girlfriend and bought a new purse and shirt– whoops!
1. Laundry (although I DID just put the first load in now)
2. Dishes
3. Organize the guest bedroom
4. Move all the wedding stuff I ordered into the basement
…..
The only thing left on my list is to pack for my trip home tomorrow! Going away for 5 days to see friends and family. I’m super excited. 🙂
I have three tests this week that I have not studied for… yikes! Reading your blog is much more entertaining! I hope you post something else tonight, so I can put studying off alittle longer!! ha
Don’t worry! We all have days like that!!
The ice cream looks delicious and so do the cookies! =D
I procrastinated calling my parents until half an hour ago…bad daughter!
hmmm where to start?
gym, grocery store, pick clothes up off the floor of my bedroom and do homework (blehhhh only 2 more months of this homework/essay shiz. trying to enjoy it while it lasts. is that possible?)
Studying for a neuroanatomy midterm tomorrow – I can’t handle it anymore! And here I thought going back to school was a good idea…
Instead, I’m doing all those things that I don’t NEED to do right now – laundry, cleaning kitchen, vacuuming…mostly because I’m scared to death for the exam tomorrow. Productive procrastination? Pretty much. Going to help me ace the exam? Not likely.
I’m so surprised at how nice it was today – I was expecting rain all afternoon!
I have about a months worth of laundry to fold in my laundry room right now. I’m avoiding it. I keep hoping it will fold itself (or maybe my 4 year old will fold it – wishful thinking?).
Today was a really busy day filled with mainly studying..the one thing I didn’t get a chace to do yet was plan my yoga class tomorrow. It’s my very first one teaching and I’m so, so nervous!!
Oh no no…dont bring us down to your procrastination level and help you make yourself feel better about not getting your stuff done 😉
So Ill start with the things I did get accomplished: Cleaned floors, Cleaned bathrooms, cleaned inside of stove, did my load of shirts and ties, and ironed. Made the finance:
White Chocolate Chip Haystacks AND Milk/PEANUT Butter Chocolate Chip Haystacks! They are on point for sure.
And made Moms Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies with some M&M’s, Chocolate Covered Strawberries…proven here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=605161350212&set=a.605161290332.2130274.57105610&ref=notif¬if_t=like&theater
So there you go…hope you feel better about your evening!
Just giving you guys a hard time!
Oh and I swept the apartment and made a three course meal for my better half as well 😉
i hate you.
now can you please make me those strawberries?
You may hate me, but my finance is adoration…but you also may hate now, but my reason for the post was to not upset anyone or gloat i promise! It was to motivate you all! Theres still a good 2 hours of the evening to get your hunny do lists done tonight! Just think about the more you get done this evening the more relaxing you can do TOMORROW night after a long day at work!
PS! Sure come on up to Indy and we’ll make all the chocolate covered strawberries you, ryan, and your pup would like, our fridge is full of strawberries. Plus I have a tub full of homemade butter pecan icecream chilling for you guys as well!
Laundry!! But sometimes the “rest” days are
wonderful!! You can always get the other
stuff done during the week!
P.S. Those cookies look delicious!!
My to-do list is never ending! I STILL haven’t put away my already folded laundry from Thursday!
1 – Cleaning the apartment
2 – Washing Dishes
3 – Doing laundry
4 – Grocery shopping! Everyone needs to eat out for lunch tomorrow! Sorry fam, it happens!!!!
Hahaha, I just posted about the same thing. I was totally unmotivated to do much of anything today! Ahh well, tomorrow’s a new day. 🙂
Studying for Anatomy and Chemistry are always the hardest things to do: It’s 8 pm and I am still procrastinating. I better start now! 🙂
I think you were productive! You decided to relax and enjoy your day! You went to support your husband- which is up there in terms of important, and your friend. You had a fantastic day. There were no deadlines, nothing bad will happen if you don’t do your laundry for one more day… I think you should feel awesome that you got to spend such a great carefree day with those you love, and eating gelati and cookie dough! We are VERY lucky compared to so many people.
I just wrote an entire post on permissive procrastination. IT is so reviving and necessary! We all need a day of ‘nothingness’…
I on the other hand HAVE DONE NOTHING- and I have 3 exams, reviews, a book review due for history, Economics assignments and worst- a deferred History midterm due Friday. I am so stressed that I can’t study! NOT GOOD. I think I need a vacation or some gelati!
ps- you look gorgeous in that black halter (we are currently covered in snow!)
I have not done my taxes. < —- shameful
Haha I didn’t make a green monster. I didn’t make snickerdoodles. I didn’t play racquetball. I didn’t do laundry.
But I did watch Pretty Woman and Due Date with my boyfriend!!
I also got less than I wanted to accomplish today but its still only 930. I have 3 more hours to get motivated before my bed time! (riiiggghhhttt!) The list would be too long to say what I didn’t do, BUT I did get our save the dates done. I’m 2 months late on doing those, kind of bad!
I laid out everything I needed to iron today like a good little adult and then ironed nothing! 😀
clean the house. oh well. there’s always monday.
