_{^{~Groovin' With Soccamom~}}

Just like candy.

Sometimes just the thought of a particular Lucy episode can make me laugh wholeheartedly, even if I'm alone, which tends to make me look slightly off center. No matter. It makes me happy. This evening I was remembering the "Vitaminavegemin" episode.

I wish I could get my hands on that happy juice named vitaminavegemin. I hate taking vitamins and rarely do it. I'm a pretty good pill taker in general which is part of what baffles me so much about my aversion to vitamins. It must have started somewhere in my pregnancy. If you're experiencing any morning sickness at all, I don't see how you can even think about taking them and keeping them down. Those horrid prenatals are about the same size as a human finger (ok, maybe not that big) and just as hard to choke down. Well, I took maybe one and gave up. Luckily, Miss Boo wasn't affected my the lack of powdery minerals. I was fortunate to have mostly healthy cravings.

I do see the value of taking a small supplement at this stage of the game. I'm (gasp!) not getting any younger, and I realize I could use a little nutritional supplementation. The only problem is that even normal women's vitamins are huge and they instruct you to drink plenty of water with them. It helps with the rapid digestion, don'tcha know.

That's another thing. I drink water all day long. I'd say I drink nearly 4-5 bottles of water throughout the day but for some reason I can't drink a whole glass of water to chase a stinkin' vitamin. The thought makes me nauseous.

What I've been trying to do is take my vitamin with my lunch. A stomach full of food and plenty of liquids seem to make the vitamin go down without a fuss. The only problem is that I forgot to take my vitamin at lunch today. You see, I just bought these and have only been on them for less than a week which means that it's not yet a habit. They say you have to do something 7 days in a row for it to become habit. So here I am, on a Friday night and I found a perfect solution for vitamin taking.

Potato chips and beer. Food in the stomach and liquid to break down the vitamins. Why didn't I think of this at the beginning of the week??
