The calm before the storm.
I just love it.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved the rain. Maybe it’s because I’m an April baby? Rain soothes me and relaxes me and makes me want to curl up under the covers with a good book.
Today’s storm rolled in as I was teaching water fitness. We lucked out and made it through the entire class without hearing any thunder or seeing any lightning, but about five minutes after the class concluded, the dark clouds opened up and it started pouring. It rains pretty much ever single day in the summer in Florida, but the storms usually only last an hour or two. Today’s storm seems to be holding on for a little longer than usual which has Sadie in a tizzy.
My poor little scaredy dog.
Work today went well and I spent an hour or so with my boss learning how to teach spinning. I may be picking up some spin classes in the future and would like to take a full-day certification course, but going over the basics today was helpful.
Lunch
At lunchtime today, I quickly ran to Subway and ordered a chopped club salad that I ate with a bag of harvest cheddar Sun Chips.
I’ve always preferred sweet over salty and have never been a huge chip person (unless you put salsa or guacamole in front of me), but cheddar Sun Chips are a weakness of mine! My friend Kristen used to pack them in her lunch in elementary school and I remember trading her something from my lunch so I could have her chips on several occasions. They take me back!
Time to do a load of laundry. It’s Friiiday tomorrow!
Question of the Afternoon
- When it comes to snacks, do you prefer sweet or salty foods?
I’m a sweets girl all the way!

i love salty but i don’t keep them in the house bc i have a hard time portioning them out. i can eat a piece of chocolate and be fine, but someone will have to pry a bag of pretzels or chips out of my hands!!!

I always prefer sweet – my sweet tooth controls me 😉 couldn’t agree more about rain + under the covers with a good book…it’s so relaxing. makes me excited for fall!
Have you heard of the Thundershirt? It may help keep Sadie calm during storms. A number of my friends have used it with their dogs with great results :). It hugs them which helps keep them calm in stressful situations. http://www.thundershirt.com/Product/Thundershirt.aspx?item_guid=ad60b946-f758-45e2-a589-331dda09637e
We had a wicked rain storm last night where I live. The rain is my favourite sound to fall asleep to 🙂
I really need to start remembering that Subway offers salads! They look so good!
Sweets ALL THE WAY!! In college, I could never understand how my roommate could go through a big bag of Chex Mix! She was salty all the way. She couldn’t understand how I could eat half a pan of brownies if left in front of me….. 🙂
I also love the calm before storms. I think thunderstorms are one of my favorite things about summer!
I like to mix it up! Some of my favorite snacks are fruit and yogurt, trail mix, or veggies and hummus. I think I just like any type of snack food.
I am obsessed with those Sun Chips too! So good!
Sweets get me every time . . . especially dark chocolate! 😉
