the -ings of sunday

I am currently:
Listening - to Bon Iver. On Spotify, which is amazing if you haven't downloaded it yet. It's basically itunes for free!
Eating - leftover Little Caesar's $5 hot and ready. we have no food. jealous?
Drinking - lots of water and OJ. I've been sick for a week!!
Reading - the second Game of Thrones book. It's gettin good. Really good.
Feeling - besides intense sinus pressure, pretty anxious, confused, and depressed about the job market for lawyers and where I'll end up
Wanting - to get healthy so I can get stuff done! and to finally see harry potter. :)
Needing - a VACUUM!!!!!!!! We have 3 vacuums in our garage - all broken. And Shamus has become a shedding machine this summer. Deee-sgusting. I'm breathing black dog hair. Anybody got an extra? I guess I could craigslist a temporary cheapo before we take the plunge into Dyson-land.
Enjoying - time off. It's bittersweet, since I want a job so badly, but I can't forget it's still time off to relax and try to do some things for me. (like get back into exercising :)
Laughing - at these adorable, hysterical pictures of Taylor dog-whispering! My sister Lisa and her dog Gertie are in town, so Shamus got to go over to my parents yesterday to sexually harass play with her. Gus of course didn't join in on the fun but Taylor did manage to get them all to sit in perfect formation in front of him! <this is me dying of delight>

breaking news in gummy vitamins

I am a huge fan of the adult gummy multi-vitamin. Unlike their large, difficult to swallow, pill-form predecessor, they are delicious and easy to remember. (I never forget my daily free candy).

Now, of course, there are a wide variety of options to choose from. You can go for the brand names which are great, and even have sour patch kid-like varieties, or you can save some $$ with some generics.

Target's Up & Up? Wonderful. A+.
Costco's Vitafusion? Same. A+.

But consider yourself warned, CVS's are just disgusting. They taste like robitussin, very medicine-ish rather than delightful candy snack. I'm clearly upset. D-.
So the moral of this pointless post is take your vitamins, and even though CVS is selling these things buy one get one free right now, don't get suckered in. Not all off-brands are alike!

hi there!

I really don't have much to blog about, I'm just hanging out at home job searching. I find out if I passed the bar on September 13th, yikes!! I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a job before then, but here's hoping.

Oh...I must mention Pinterest. I am addicted. I am an addict. I can't stop!!! Join pinterest.com and experience the magic! Haha. Seriously. My dad the other night goes: "so is it like the beanie babies of 2011?" At first I really thought he was asking if it was some sort of website that sells cute stuffed animals, but I guess he meant: is it the new thing you and your friends are going to be psychotically obsessed with? So I answered affirmatively.

but pinterest is for grown ups and doesn't require my 12 year old self to have every hallmark retail store within a 20 mile radius' phone number memorized to call each tuesday morning and ask if a new shipment came in.
