Lazy Saturday? Yep, I have that down to a science.
The rainy, blah weather motivated me to accomplish absolutely nothing today. Ok, I did a little work, but, really, I was such a waste of space. I even blew off my 10-mile run with my team this morning. Wicked lame, right? Yea, I feel bad about that. Sorry, Nick and Elizabeth. Please don’t kick me off of the team!
Breakfast
I slept until 9:30 this morning, which is some sort of record for me, so when I finally got out of bed, my stomach was growling like crazy. It’s used to eating at 7:00 AM!
For breakfast, Mal whipped up a couple of egg and cheese sandwiches for us. I had mine on a toasted poppy seed Bagel Thin with an iced coffee on the side.
After breakfast, I spent the rest of the morning catching up with emails and other work since I’m still a little behind after my trip to Las Vegas last week.
Lunch
For lunch, I enjoyed Oats In A Jar. In the mix: oats, soy milk, banana slices, walnuts, chia seeds, and a little extra peanut butter.
While I ate, Murphy watched closely. He knows that I’ll give him the rest of the peanut butter jar once I am finished eating. A pug never forgets things like this.
I guess I took my sweet time eating because Murphy started to give me a few dirty looks. He’s so impatient sometimes. He must get that from me.
Eventually, Murphy’s persistence paid off.
At one point, Murphy backed the jar into a corner for better peanut butter licking.
He’s so smart. He must get that from me his dad.
Murphy went to town on the peanut butter jar, so Mal and I stood by and laughed (at him).
A few hours later, Mal brought home a new bag of dog food.
Murphy was PSYCHED!!! Look at those crazy pug eyes!
He’s so food obsessed! He definitely gets that from me!
Dinner
I wasn’t in the mood to make anything elaborate for dinner tonight (and our kitchen was in shambles because Mal was fixing our sink), so I threw a frozen Barbeque Chicken pizza from Whole Foods in the oven. Quick and simple.
The pizza tasted pretty good, but, for the price ($5), I’m not sure I’d buy it again. (There was a coupon in The Whole Deal for $1 off, so I gave it a try this time.)
With the pizza, I added a big arugula salad topped with flax oil and balsamic vinegar.
I also ate a bunch of Chocolate Sunflower Butter Cookies over the course of the day. There’s actually only ONE left now! I should probably just finish it off, right?
I hope you’re having a wonderful Saturday night. I’m off to continue my laziness. I haven’t even showered yet today.

I love Lazy Saturdays! I’m envious of your day because mine was anything BUT lazy!! My dog gets peanut butter jars too, and he backs it into the wall too! Dogs are deifnitely smart things!
Sounds like a perfect Saturday for shitty weather! Sleeping in, frozen pizza and overall irresponsibility
Love those days.
I joined you with the lazy Saturday! Had a hike planned but once we got there the park was closed…plan B was relaxing at home and catching up on shows!
Sometimes you just have to be lazy on Saturdays. Murphy is quite gifted with that pb lickin’! Oats for lunch… good call. Oats anytime really!
you know a foodie blogger loves her pup when she shares her PB jar!
our weather has finally cleared up here but it was rainy all week so I now how you feel!
Lazy Saturdays are the best!
Murphy’s cutest just never gets old!
Oh lazy days are the best! I hope you stayed in your pj’s all day too
@Ellen @ Cinnamonalicious: cutest?! haha *cuteness!
@Ellen @ Cinnamonalicious: Yes, of course!
What an interesting name for dog food! Ha!
My in-laws pugs are right at your feet if you are in the kitchen; they will eat anything and everything!
Lazy Saturdays are great! I kind of wish today was lazy haha.
And we feed my dog the canned version of that food! We put it on top Blue Buffalo dry food. It’s such good food!
Its something about the rain that makes me lazy too, I wouldnt have even left the bed if I didnt have to work! Your dog is adorable.
My rainy Saturday was equally lazy. The only thing that got me to the gym was realizing that I hadn’t moved in 6 hours!!
Omg Murphy is just too funny. It’s like my cat around raw fish/meat.
Sometimes the body just needs a break and a lazy, rainy Saturday is the perfect day for it:)
Of course you should finish it off! I trust that it’s already done!
Murphy’s so cute waiting patiently (or..not so patiently?
) for his peanut butter!
Other than running 17 miles we’ve had a really lazy day today too. It felt good to lay around and eat food
Getting a run in, especially 17 miles, totally justifies doing zilch the rest of the day!
It looks like you switched breakfast and lunch today! Sandwich for breakfast and oats for lunch
Aah, lazy Saturdays. I miss those!
hahaha, Murphy is just adorable!!! Love those crazy pug eyes!! lol
There is something in the air, because it was a lazy Saturday up here in Vancouver too!!! Love the Murphy pics!!!
My Saturday was anything but lazy! I went to the gym, helped my sister move, then came home and made desserts for Easter tomorrow!
I think the weather has a lot to do with the laziness. It’s been raining and dreary all day here and I’ve been quite unproductive all day.
I took pics of my dog Cooper doing the exact same thing. PB jars are the ultimate motivator!!
Sometimes a little laziness is good. Take the whole weekend if you need it.
I love your dog!
K let’s talk lazy- I DROVE to a yoga class tonight and didn’t feel like going in, so I DROVE home. How lazy is that? I felt bad too- but there I will make up for it tomorrow. It was hatha yoga too… not even power yoga! Yikes.
Have a great evening…
xoxo
My Saturdays are always pretty lazy too
How can we not be lazy? IT IS SO COLD AND RAINY HERE! Wah, where is Spring?
Haha, before I discovered OIAJ my sister used to hand me an almost empty PB jar and laugh while she watched me scrape it clean. She even bought me a spoon that is designed to scrape jars!
Man, I’ve had so many Saturdays just like that where I don’t even shower.. Pretty gross.. haha. But hey, sometimes you just gotta be lazy!
sometimes you just gotta have a lazy Saturday once in awhile!!! Glad you enjoyed it
Lazy Saturdays are the best. After a late night on fri, all I did was lie on my bed yday! The best part is that there’s still Sunday left to get things done!
My dog has looked exactly like that before with a peanut butter jar! I’m sure I have too, actually…
You know it’s a lazy shower when you realize that you still haven’t showered.
Don’t feel too bad. Rain makes me want to stay inside and do absolutely nothing but eat cookies. And on that note, I think you should finish the last cookie
I think we all need and deserve a lazy Saturday now and then! That’s hilarious about Murphy, and the pizza you had does look really good!
Murphy is such a cutie pie! My black lab was obsessed with food as well. It’s hilarious to watch them go to town with peanut butter stuffed in jars or kong toys.
You’re such a good mommy to give Murph the rest of the PB jar. I always scrape mine clean when I have OIAJ.
I miss my dogs! They’re living with my mother until I’m through with apartment living… First order of business when I get them back? OIAJ! haha Murphy looks so cute attacking that jar!
I totally had a lazy Saturday in as well! The rain wasn’t very motivating at all…I totally understand. And Murphy is so cute. I finished reading your book yesterday (yes, I’m fast), and I loved reading more about him.
Bahahaha, dogs licking peanut butter can entertain me for hours! Ever put a dab of it on their nose? It’s a win-win situation.
I had the ultimate lazy Saturday as well. I showered around 7:00 and then my exercise for the day was walking the dog to go get ice cream
We all need days like that once in awhile.
murphy and I have the same jar-licking habits
Lazy Saturdays are the best!!! I wish mine had been a little more relaxing but I’m having a lazy Sunday instead!
murphy’s eyes are intense. love it.
Oh my goodness those pics of Murphy are priceless!!! Who needs things like tv and you tube, a jar of pb and a Murphy are all you need for entertainment!!!
You seem so blue , Tina
Seems to me it must not be fun to have a lazy Saturday, but not really allow yourself to enjoy it. Hope you feel better tomorrow!! <3
A lazy day once in a while never hurts, sometimes they’re necessary!
Yay for being lazy! Sometimes it just what ya need
When we buy a new bag of dog food, we let Chase have a (very short) self-serve buffet, just because it’s so funny to watch him go to town on a massive pile of food. Dogs are so funny!
Hahaha! We’d NEVER kick you off the team. I completely wiped out on D Street (on a slippery grate thing) and ran the next 7 miles covered in dirt. Very attractive. Hope you enjoyed your lazy Saturday– you’ve got to take those when you can get ‘em!
I love a good lazy Saturday with my husband. However he does not sit around to well so these do not happen very often, but are always better when they do!
