Welp…it’s about time to hang up the softball jersey for the season.
Last night’s game didn’t go as well as we’d hoped, and we ended up losing in the semi-finals to end our season. As happy as I am to have some of my evenings back, I always get sort of sad when softball season ends.
Our team has such a great time every year, so it’s always a bummer to see that end. Plus, it means that summer is coming to a close which, despite the fact that I said I’m ready for fall weather, I’m still not quite ready for summer to end either.
Ahh well. It was still a good season!

This morning, I spent a little bit of time playing fetch with the Codester before making breakfast.
He started off strong, but then got way too distracted by noises that were coming from the window, so I lost him and his interest in fetch.
Fine by me…time to eat!
I poured myself a mug of hot coffee while I waited for my breakfast to cook.
Hey, did you guys know today is National Waffle Day? As soon as I found out, it made my breakfast decision a rather easy one.
And I know I said no more waffle photos, but I snapped this one right before sitting down to my computer so it was all good. Things still stayed nice and warm for me today!
On another note, I still can’t believe it’s already Friday. This week absolutely flew by for me…anyone else? I’m trying to convince Jay that we need a little date night tonight, but he says he needs to mow the lawn.
LAME.
Maybe I can get you guys to convince him for me…?

Oh, thanks for sharing that it’s National Waffle Day! That makes deciding my breakfast easy too :) Happy Friday!
Khushboo Thadani says
Jay- if you take you’re wifey out tonight, chances are she will bake you cookies or cupcakes tomorrow….sounds like a good trade off to me! :-)
Alyssa @ fit and fun in third says
Mow the lawn?? On a Friday night?? Crazzzzyyyy! Enjoy your date night ;)
Lindsey says
I did not know it was waffle day! I will not tell my husband or else I am sure that would be supper, waffles are his fav.
I am ready for fall too, but also not ready for summer to end!
Shannon says
Maybe you should mow the lawn for him this afternoon? He wouldn’t have anything else to do later. Then, you’d get your date night. Seriously…who mows their lawn on a Friday night?!? Isn’t that what most people do on the weekends?
Good luck getting your date night! Great job on a good softball season. I wish I could eat waffles today- I have a bunch in the freezer. Unfortunately, I got my wisdom teeth out on Monday and I’m not sure if I’m up to eating chewy foods yet. I’m still on the soft food regimen.
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because says
Did you say that you cat fetches?!
Courtney says
Ohhh yes! He sure does, haha…I actually took a video of him before doing it: https://www.sweettoothsweetlife.com/2011/06/28/candy-in-a-cup-a-mini-cody-video/
Alex @ Brain, Body, Because says
HA! Is he fetching a a little piece of plastic?
Neither my husband or I grew up with cats. When we started fostering for the animal shelter I asked my FB friends what kind of toys to buy for them. Everyone said to save my money and because they like boxes, bottle caps and crumpled sheets of paper ;)
Danica @ It's Progression says
I was hoping for a date night tonight too! I’m brainstorming a list of convincing reasons for the hubs :)
Rachel says
Mow the lawn??? That can wait ;)
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
You’re always on top of the food holidays!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
If I pretend the bagel I’m eating right now is a waffle, can we say I celebrated?
Courtney says
Wasn’t that Jay’s excuse last time, that got you to mow the lawn for him? Hmmm… methinks he’s onto something! ;-)
Jennifer @Peanut Butters and Peppers says
I am not ready for the summer to end, but I am looking forward to cooking with fall produce!! Have a great weekend!
Lili says
If he doesn’t take out.. Have a date w a
Friend..that’s what I’m doing..
Danielle@cleanfoodcreativefitness says
I had no idea it was national waffle day but now I feel like I must go make a Paleo waffle :) I’m very sad summer is ending too! I like the fall but nothing beats summer!
Laurie @ Love, Laugh, Laurie says
I’m the same way about summer/fall. I go back and forth on which one I like more and I’m aways depressed when summer is over but happy that it’s fall. It’s a struggle, I tell ya :)
Erica @ For the Sake of Cake says
Yes! This week flew by! It’s my last week before school starts so of course it passed a warp speed.
Jen@HealthyFoodandFamily says
This week did go by really fast, I can’t believe it’s Friday already!!! Have a great weekend :)
Carrie @ Lift Eat Repeat says
Mowing the lawn only takes me 15 minutes, and if you have a big lawn it couldn’t take more than 25. I say mow the lawn first, then reward with date night! :)
Have a good one!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
Aww c’mon Jay, don’t be a party Poopa~hehe.
And finally I celebrated a food day correctly! (unknowingly) I had buckwheat waffles this morning and they were so delish drizzled with sunflower seed butter :D
Brittany @ readrunrepeat says
Waffles day?? Sweet! That’s what I ate for breakfast!! Date nights are SO important!! (c’mon Jay!!! You know I’m right ;) ) got any good ideas for date night? I need one too!!
Sam @ Better With Sprinkles says
Kinda wish I found that out before I ate breakfast – my waffle maker has been entirely too unused lately. :-)
Annette@FitnessPerks says
MOW the lawn?!? That is lame. He can do that tomorrow–take your wife out tonight! ;) She’ll bake ya cookies probably too.
I wish I knew it had been nat’l waffle day…oh well, I’ll celebrate on Sunday I am sure.
kim@hungryhealthygirl says
It was too late for me when I found out that it was waffle day. Oh well….I had a pb and egg white sandwhich, which was delicious. I’m all for the date night….much funner than mowing the lawn! Happy Friday!
Bek @ Crave says
Ohh I like the touch of sultanas on the waffles for something different :) And the cute banana sandwich I can see in the background! Oh JAY! Don’t be borang! Go have a date night ;) <– Hope that helped a bit haha. Talking about seasons and weather we are coming out of winter now and into Spring- I am definitely ready :)
