Sounds about right! 😀
Gorgeous weather, coupled with fantastic walk with one of my best friends and my oh-so-hyper dog made for a wonderful late afternoon activity!
After work today Sadie and I headed over to Baldwin Park to meet up with my friend Merri for a walk around Lake Baldwin.Before Merri arrived, Sadie and I wasted some time at the dog park.
Sadie made a beeline for a tree and I thought maybe she was trying coerce a squirrel into playing with her… mouth. 😉
Then I saw it… And her intensity all made sense.
I helped her out and shook the ball out of the tree for a couple of rounds of fetch. Then Merri arrived and we had a great time walking around the lake and chatting away about her sister’s wedding, my upcoming wedding, running a marathon next year (what!?) and everything under the sun.
Sadie loved seeing her Aunt Merri again. She practically did flips in the air when Merri got out of her car. After walking for about an hour, Sadie and I headed home to get crackin’ on dinner.
Dinner
Ryan has a soccer game this evening, so it was a girl’s night! Just me and my little girly pup.
I made myself a noodle bowl that included Portobello mushrooms, cauliflower, fettuccine and marinara sauce.
It was g-o-o-d.
After dinner I was craving something sweet and cooked up half of a batch of pumpkin spice cookies.I ate three. These cookies are beyond delicious and seriously addicting.
I just got a call from Ryan and he’s on his way home. I bet he’s beyond excited to park his butt next to me on the couch and finish watching the Real Housewives of DC reunion. 😉
‘Til tomorrow!
Noodle bowl! It’s been a while! 🙂
ahhh thanks for reminding me! I have to watch those DC ladies and then those Beverly Hills ladies…..
have you watched the beverly hills season yet? i still haven’t. those women look like a whole ‘nother breed of crazy!
yeah I just saw the first premiere episode last week…I actually like 2 of them…I don’t know all the names yet but I know one is Kyle (paris hilton’s aunt!) and the other one is British…however one has fake lips bigger than her whole face. Its craziness! But entertaining I suppose! haha
I watched the reunion today too! Some of them are crazy!
hahaha fun night looks like! I’ve had a nice night myself!
Your noodle bowls always look yummy!!
btw…do you have any idea when the next bachelor/bacherolette starts playing??
I miss that show!
Totally going to watch the DC reunion too. Such mindless fun tv!
I <3 nights where I can sit at home eating dinner in front of the TV and not worry about cooking for the husband!
Love the noodle bowl! I don’t own a TV so I watch shows off of hulu, or I watch TV when I go to the gym! 🙂
Sounds like you had a good evening!
Your dog is so cute. My parent’s dog is obsessed with tennis balls. It is amazing how obsessed he is.
What a fun evening! Ya’ll are beautiful (Sadie included!)
Girls nights are fun! Especially when they involve noodles and cookies 🙂
I made some pumpkin spice cookies tonight too! Going to visit my sister and that was her request. And I also enjoyed a little HW during braking time 😉
Awww! Sadie is just like my dog – put a tennis ball in front of her and she can be occupied for HOURS. 🙂
I just got into the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. You should totally watch it. Their houses are HUGE! They are like beyond huge. I have never seen something like it in my life!!!
Your dinner looks delicious!! I love pasta! 🙂
my mom loves real housewives! ha i’ve never gotten into it though…

Haha. You are one lucky girl to have your guy tune in on the real housewives. Mine would never dream of it. He just laughs if he walks in the room and it’s on. I’m loving the new real housewives of B.Hills.
Love the real housewives! OC is my favorite! My man actually likes to watch along with me!
It’s funny Sadie was able to pick out that ball without it moving first or anything. She’s so cute!
Ooh, I usually make a cake out of that recipe. I never thought to make cookies!! Off to the store to get the ingredients! YUM!
I made your pumpkin spice cookies last night! They were completely amazing!! Great recipe! I had a bunch of people over last night because I was setting up for a baby shower and everyone loved it!!
