"in your arms" aka "the jellybean video."

my husband shared this with me the other night and i LOVE it. you may have already seen it floating around the interwebs, but if you haven't, be sure to watch.

so. many. jellybeans.

and if you are interested in how the video was made.

what do you think about all of those jelly bellys?

welcome to the Bar counselor.

it's official, i'm a lawyer!

yesterday afternoon, i was sworn in at the king county courthouse by Judge McDermott. i was accompanied by my wonderful husband and my fabulous friend, amanda, who was one year ahead of me in law school.

it was so surreal to be in the courtroom and having everyone tell me that i was about to be a licensed lawyer. this was such a great day, and even if i never end up practicing, i take the oath very seriously.

dog mail.

dear mom & dad,

i thought you would be so proud of me when you got back from dinner the other night. 

i jumped up on the counter all by myself even though you moved the stools away. its like you don't want me walking on the counter or something. then, i saw my toothbrush sitting there and decided to give my teefers a little brush. 

that chicken flavored toothpaste is awfully tasty, but who knew brushing teeth was so difficult? i think i'm gonna need a new one...

you weren't very happy with me when you got home. was it because i was brushing on the living room rug?


love & kisses,
sadie

happy november first!

one step closer to winter. the winter that i am dreading since it is slated to be a bad one. a "bad" winter in seattle is more than one inch of snow. seriously, in the last three years (starting with finals of my first year of law school) i have seen this city completely shut down because there are a few inches of snow on the ground. people get stranded on the freeways, buses get stopped on the side of the road and everyone takes refuge at the local starbucks. cross your fingers they are wrong about this winter...

on a happier note, with winter rapidly approaching it means that christmas is on its way! unlike nordstrom (which refuses to decorate for the christmas holiday until after thanksgiving) starbucks appreciates a little early celebration of the merriest of days with the release of the red holiday cup every november first!

thanks to my husband for the shout out about this little blog on facebook - now the pressure is on! 

and also thanks to my newest (and first!) followers: Jen Everson and my husband!
