Guess who is back in my arms!?
Sadie girl!!!
Around 11 a.m. I left Ocala and drove the two hours to my parents’ house in St. Pete to see the pup!
She gave me quite the welcome. Whimpering, running around in circles and a sprinkle of pee were involved. Sadie only pees from excitement on very rare occasions or when she sees a small handful of people that she really loves, so I took her little squirt as a compliment. Or, you know, I missed her too much to care about a little doggie pee.
I’m now blogging with a 35 pound dog sprawled across my lap and everything feels right again. 
Lunch
Lunch today was really random. Whenever I come to my parents’ house I feel like I’m on sensory overload because of all the delicious food options, so I decided to go with my cravings and fix myself a snack plate of goodies.
My plate included pretzel crisps with almond butter for dipping, cilantro lime shrimp and a cup of fresh blueberries.
And then I ate about a million pecans that I picked out of a big jar of mixed nuts. Nut overload! (TWSS.)
I hope no one else in my family shares my affinity for pecans because they may have a little bit of a problem finding any in that jar if they go digging.
As I was sitting down to lunch at the kitchen counter, I saw a cute mini card that I assumed my mom gave to my sister or dad.
So sweet, right?
Well, when I flipped it over to read the message on the back, this was staring back at me:
What is that!?!?

RANDOM CARD!!! I usually pick out the cashews. It helps that my stepdad is allergic to them, so he never notices . . .
Thanks for the laugh, Julie! Nice, fun facts! 😉
I always eat the good stuff out of the jar of mixed nuts! 😀 Way tooooo many almonds and peanuts. I love pecans and cashews more!! Glad you have Sadie again! I have been away a lot recently and miss my doggies like mad!
Haha – that card is two surprises in one. Bonus!
What a random card! So weird! It’s nice to see that you are reunited with Sadie girl! 🙂 Love your snack plate!
Haha what a random saying. I’m sure you’re glad to have Sadie back and that the feeling is mutual! Enjoy your time with your girl. 🙂
Mucus is probably up there with one of my top repulisve words of all time…with chunky, moist and puss.
GROSS! Haha!
Anyways, so glad you got to hold Sadie again 🙂 Dogs are such an important part of the fam. I was just away from Cara for a week and was literally dying to see her little face again. I feel ya, sista 🙂 Enjoy!
Rando!!
I hate being away from K-dizzle, but the reunions are always fun 🙂 Even if I’ve been gone for a day, she acts like it’s been yearssss!
Haha WHAT!?
That is so random!!
Mmmmm shrimpies 🙂
Hahaha – my mom got those cards! She saw them at Michael’s Craft Store and they were marked as being little cards to put in children’s lunch boxes. My mom teaches first grade so she thought it might be a good thing to give to her students. When we got them out of the pack, they were SO weird. One of them said something like, “I can’t wait to be with you later.” I thought that sounded more like something a wife might put in her husband’s lunch! 😉
Babhahaha wtf?? Where did that come from? I just laughed out loud soooo hard.
Also, can we get a collective “AWWWWW” on your and Sadie’s reunion? Such a bummer that she couldn’t stay with you. You guys can’t sneak her in?
Haha! Sadie doesn’t fail to entertain everyone 😉
Yey for getting to see your little girl!
What on earth is with that card! 😛
good fact for trivia 😉
haha that is so weird! lol! glad u got to see sweet sadie!
AAAAWWWWWW…. Ms Sadiekins….. make sure you give Ms Sadie a scratch behind the ear and a belly rub for me! The expressions on her face make my heart melt!
That unconditional love is the BEST!
So cute! I went to the website that is on the bottom of the card… http://www.sayplease.com & some of those cards are really adorable.
I do love handwritten notes though. I always leave one for my fiance if I know he is going to either wake up before me (if im sleeping in on the weekend but he has to work) or if I leave before he’s home.. I think it’s those little things that you do for eachother that mean the most!
Haha what?!
That’s just the most romantic card I’ve ever seen… at least the most romantic that references stomach mucus.
Just like Sadie’s reaction is the most adorable one that involves peeing!
Bahaha that card is hilarious! What the heck?
Reuniting with pets after time spent apart is the BEST. It melts my heart every day when I come home from work, to a chorus of barks, tail wags and kisses! Sometimes the cat even gets in on the welcome wagon party.
I act like a starving woman every time I go to my parent’s house because they have so much good food that I never buy for myself, I love it. I often wonder at what point in my life I’ll start stocking my cabinets like they do!
I also just want to say that your positivity throughout your moving situation and new city has amazed me. I know I’d be really thrown off, and probably pretty cranky, if I had to move into a hotel and didn’t have my normal “stuff,” food, and even beloved pet with me, but you’ve been so upbeat on the blog about your temporary situation. Keep your smile on and I know that good, exciting things will come to you!
I bet it was so nice to see sadie again!!
I love love love shrimp! lime cilantro looked delish!
That is a random little love/fact card!
Oh my goodness, that is such a cute video! I started tearing up. I’m such a sap when it comes to animals. I cry more when they die in movies than the people. 🙂
I love reunions with my dog! He is always the most excited to see me – or at least that’s how it seems. Please tell me you’ve seen this video? http://www.godvine.com/Mommy-and-Doggy-Reunite-After-a-Year-Apart-343.html
OMG i just played this video (with sound) and sadie jumped off the couch and started growling!!! apparently she didn’t like the noises the golden retriever was making… they’re IDENTICAL to the noises sadie made when i came home today! such a sweet video.
Where in the heck did that card come from?! Haha
Awww, Sadie’s face says “Don’t even think about leaving me again!!” That is the most random card ever! LOL
bahahahaha. whhhaaaaaat! that card! hahahah
Ok so what is that card?? So strange.
I laughed at the pecan/TWSS part of your post today — only because my mother in law has pointed out to me that pecans look like vaginas. So I cannot eat a pecan without laughing a little bit because that little fact comes to mind. Yes I’m 11.
What’s TWSS? I feel so outta the loop haha
“Thats What She Said”
Ahh! YES, of course. Thanks 🙂
i have such helpful readers! 😀
Awww, Sadie is such a cutie. I have a Vizsla as well so I know that crazy happy dance they do after a time apart.
There must be something about being at your parents house. Everytime I go home I eat the entire time I am there.
Have fun with Sadie!
Sadie wants her mommy back! what a cute face!
That card was abolsutely hilarious!
From the sound of it, Sadie was very very happy to see her mommy again!
*LOL* That card…
I hate being away from pets! Whenever I spend extended time away from my cat, I cry when I’m reunited. Too bad cats don’t get nearly as excited as dogs!!
I can’t imagine going days without being with your pet. It’s hard enough leaving my little Bo at home so I can work haha! The excitement they great you with each and every time is so awesome.
Ahahaha – the back of that card cracked me up! That is a little bit weird….
So glad you and Sadie are reunited at last!!
Love those pretzel thins – they have such a nice crunch and a surprisingly good flavor!
I know exactly what you mean about being on overload when you go to your parents house. My parents always have a fully stocked refrigerator and pantry and making those BIG* decisions is so hard–but delicious!
EWWW on that card! + is there a recipe for that shrimp, or was it prepackaged? either way i want it! shrimp is my favorite and that sounds SO GOOD. 😀
Yay Sadie! Randomness. I love those pretzel crisps though!
Too funny!But being the science nerd I am, I found it interesting, lol!
HAHAHAHA! That is the funniest card and OH so random!
talk about a random find there julie! that’s hilarious. i told my sister and she gave me a big, EEEEEEEEEEEEW from that one 😛
That is hilarious!!!!
It’s the unconditional love our dogs give us just wonderful?! Being reunited even after 8 hours at the office is the BEST!
hahahah that is the randomest card ever! i would laugh so hard if I found that inside someones home. it’s an interesting fact though! i hope my tummy doesn’t start digesting itself!
I just laughed out loud when I saw the other side of the card!
Haha… that card is funny!
My lunch was very random also! I had chocolate cheerios with Silk coconut milk. There’s nothing like having cereal for lunch or dinner. 🙂
HAHAHA thanks for the fun fact i’ll be sharing all day now!
I do the same thing when I go to my parents house! I probably eat about 4 times as much as I do normally just because they have sooo much food…and usually stuff I wouldn’t buy for myself. First thing I do every time I go is open the fridge and check out my options haha.
Glad you got to be reunited with Sadie!
Hahaha that is such a funny card! The front is so cute…and then the back is interesting, to say the least :). Oh, and btw, I’m doing my first giveaway..feel free to check it out!
SADIE! Yus! TWSS- lol, you’re quick Julie.
Love the subtle TWSS 😉
And, that CARD! Haha, random!
Sadie = awesome
Card = awkward I DIDN’T see that coming!!!
