Ever since I graduated from the U I have had a lot more time on my hands. It has been fun to pursue things that I previously had no time for. I have picked up some good and useful habits and hobbies and some that are a little more embarrassing. Here's a list.
1. I have re-arranged my apartment several times since graduating. I have only shifted the furniture once but I have moved around picture frames and accessories dozens of times.
2. The Real Housewives-- I have become a fan of the show The Real Housewives-- I will watch any season from any location. I know it is kind of a ridiculous show, but that is why i like it.
3. Target-- I get gift cards to target when I meet my sales goals. This has led to quite frequent trips to Target which has become my second favorite store behind Costco. I have created a need for many and more things I never thought i needed before.
4. Sister Wives--I have come to love the show Sister Wives, I have watched every episode. I don't know why I like it so much... I think it is just interesting to see the daily life of a polygamist family.
5. The LSAT-- I keep changing my mind about whether or not I want to go to graduate school, so over the course of the summer I have resumed study of the LSAT and quit several times... I still have not yet made up my mind...
6. FOOD--We planted a garden in the spring which means we have had an abundance of veggies all summer--mostly tomatoes (or are they fruits????) This means I have cooked quite a bit. I love to cook and since I worked at Pottery Barn I made good use of my employee discount and stocked up on almost every cooking utensil known to man at Williams Sonoma.
7. The New Yorker-- Stephen got me a subscription to the New Yorker for Christmas last year. While I was in school I didn't have much time to read it, I mostly just read the New York Times, but since graduation I have been able to spend the time reading the serious as well as the more light-hearted articles in the New Yorker.
I managed to compile a list of things i have been doing since graduation, but I have an even longer list of things I wish I would have done with my extra time... But I guess I can save those until January and just make them New Years resolutions!

I love sister wives! Haha.. The clinic I work at was totally on that show when she was pregnant, it was funny. Do you have any suggestions for something to get at williams and sonoma that is a must have? Aaron and I got a gift card for our wedding and I still have not redeemed it, but i don't know what to get!
hmm... they have a lot of good food. i especially love the dipping oils. when i worked at pottery barn kids i mostly bought kitchenware. i bought a pineapple slicer, scale, 2 le crusets, bakeware, cookbooks, and other odds and ends things that i wanted around the kitchen.
I liked this blog! I kind of feel like I'm in the same boat as you, can't really decide if I should go to grad school or not. I'm trying to find some more hobbies on the side (inexpensive ones). I think that's so cool you guys were able to plant a garden.
