Today is one heck of a rainy day in Ocala. It has been pouring on and off all day and when it’s not pouring it’s drizzling.
My afternoon water fitness was once again canceled and when I drove home, I was greeted by a very frustrated pup. With no outside playtime on the horizon thanks to the rainy weather, I fear for Sadie’s sanity.
I foresee lots of indoor playtime this evening.
Lunch
Lunch today featured Kashi BBQ chicken pizza paired with leftover roasted asparagus and fresh tomatoes.
It was delicious!
This evening, I am hoping to crawl into bed a little early and finish reading If I Stay which I’ll be reviewing on the blog tomorrow. I don’t have too much left to go and I’m not overly enthralled with it, though I am curious to see how it ends. More on that tomorrow!

I love Kashi pizzas!!! Hope it stops raining soon so Sadie can get outside!
It’s been raining all day in Ohio, too! And my pup has also been going insane. Winter is going to be interesting, when there’s 4 feet of snow on the ground and the little girl is freezing her butt off every time she goes near the door.
Your lunch looks delicious. I typically make my own pizzas, but that one looks tasty!
Sounds like you are experiencing some Seattle drizzle! Luckily, it is 75 degrees are sunny. I agree about your thoughts on If I Stay. I read the second one as well.
It’s been a bit dreary here today too (not that I’d even notice, been in a cubicle all day! haha). I need to get back into the book club readings! I missed the past few months. I just bought Mindy Kalig’s “Is everyone hanging out without me” and can’t wait to read that though!
Pizza is the best cozy weather food ever besides soup!
We need rain here in Socal! That, or I always wish it rained because I’m weird like that. Wish you and I could trade right now, hehe. I hope you have a great and relaxing rest of the day, Julie~
Boo to rain! We had our fair share in St. Louis last week. Itz no fun!
Im south of Jacksonville and we are having the on and off rain all day too from TS Andrea. It was a perfect pizza day.
It is freezing cold and raining here in Melbourne, Australia too so I share your pain! We at least have a long weekend to look forward to where I can stay indoors and be rugged up 🙂
Poor Sadie, I’m sure indoor play may not be enough to keep her sane! I live vicariously through other bloggers having pets since we can’t have pets in out apartment and I saw this Pin on Pinterest the other day and it made me think of your dog Sadie: http://pinterest.com/pin/509680882799324717/
My dog is small enough that just running around inside is enough to get her huffing and puffing! Granted, she’s 16 pounds… 😉
When I use to serve, whenever I had a patio shift- I would pray for rain. It always felt like a “Get out of jail free” card because then I would have the whole day off! Hope you’re enjoying your afternoon off 🙂
Leftover pizza is THE BEST.
The weather in my neck of the woods wasn’t too nice either. It was rainy and cloudy all day. Apparently, there is a tropical storm coming tomorrow and we’re supposed to get an obscene amount of rain…so NOT cool!
I’ve never tried the Kashi pizza, but it looks delicious! I need to pick some of it up asap.
Austin, TX is number 16! I absolutely agree with that – I ADORE living in Austin. There are ALWAYS people jogging (almost always with dogs) around Town Lake or bikers biking throughout the city. Not to mention the countless people who do yoga, hiking, rowing, you name it. We always have races going on and we are a very outdoorsy – we even hold hot yoga classes outdoors by the lake in the summer when temperatures reach over the 100s, and there are lots of dog parks all over town. Overall, it’s a very fitness-friendly city filled with TONS of health-conscious restaurants and grocery stores (vegan restaurants, Whole Foods, you name it!) – it caters very well to healthy lifestyles.
I would definitely suggest visiting sometime! You (and Sadie!!) would love it!!
Aww, poor Sadie!! Hopefully she finds something to keep her entertained this evening! 🙂
it’s raining here too. Tucker feels Sadie’s pain. Thanks for the link love!
Just saw the weather channel and it’s tropical storm Andrea.
The system is now headed north and will be bringing heavy
rains all the way to New England! Oh well, I guess the flowers
need it.
Sadie is too funny. You get such awesome pictures of her!
See if your local pet store has a laser pointer! I bought one for my crazy pup and on rainy or freezing cold days the laser keeps him entertained (and me!) for quite some time! I use it indoors mostly, but when it’s dark outside I get him running around the entire yard chasing it!
Hope you guys don’t get any flooding from the hurricane! I’ve been so busy at work lately I didn’t even KNOW there was one! Question for you about miss Sadie: when you run with her on her leash, how does she react when you pass other dogs? Our dog sometimes freaks out and I’m scared she’s going to pull me over because she weighs so much. Maybe it’s still just the puppy stage, but do you have a regular collar/leash setup on Sadie or do you use like a harness or a choke collar?
It’s been raining like crazy here too…It’s so weird! Last year we were in a SEVERE drought and this year, we have WAY too much.
I haven’t seen rain in FOREVER!!! I miss it, really miss it!
My vizsla hates when it rains too! Se goes nuts when we can’t get outside!
That Kashi pizza looks really good! I’ve never tried their pizza.
We’re getting the rain on the CT coast too! Looks like the whole country is getting hit with some crappy weather. Stay safe during the storm!
We haven’t had much rain here in Chicago, well, except for that whole Des Plain river MAJOR flood (near your hometown Julie).
Mmm, that pizza looks good. I just read another blogger’s review of If I Stay, then added it to my TBR list. Can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
I’m so glad Andrea has finally made it’s way out of the area. Bentley was restless too. Can’t wait to take him for a nice long walk!
I love the pictures of your puppy! She has so much personality. 🙂
I live in Florida too (Port Orange) and it’s been raining what seems like forever! Since I like to walk everywhere, it kinda makes me crazy when it rains so much :S
I really enjoy reading your blog! Seems we have a lot in common!!
And Sadie is toooo cute!!! Such an expressive puppy face!! 🙂
Thank you SO much for including me in your links!!
A bit of rain shouldn’t stop you from getting outside with Sadie.
Even if she gets covered in mud, it’ll all wash off.
I’d go insane if I had to stay in because of the rain. My two Border Collies would too. Auckland NZ (Rains a hell of a lot here!)
