The Importance of Being Lauren

Warning: Saying this got me in really big trouble! I don't recommend repeating this to anyone!! It all started when I was at the end of the pew, my Mom was sitting next to me. It was also Fast and testimony meeting. Thankfully it was almost over. The Bishop was going to wrap it up but then a guy with bright orange hair came up. He looks like the weird dude from "A.J.'s Time travelers." My Mom hardly knows anyone by name even now, but it was worse back then. She nudged me and asked,"Sunbum, who is that guy?" I whispered back,"His name is Lint um, I forget the last name." Then I started laughing when I realized what I said. I quickly corrected myself and told her I meant Clint! But by then we were both laughing. Then after church Dad asked what was so funny. Mom told him, man you wouldn't believe the lecture I got for that. I never ever made the mistake of calling any adult by their first name ever again (not even behind their back!)! Because it ...

For Christmas I got these really awesome "e mo " shoes, and a skeleton shirt. I've been wearing them all afternoon. I also got black nail polish to complete my emo look! But I always have trouble putting on nail polish so I haven't put it on yet! I can't go to any emo conventions though because my Dad took away my emo belt! How can I be emo without my emo belt?! This is madness I tell you, madness!! This is what he told me,"Sunbum you wear that stupid belt everywhere! You wear it to church, around the house, and even when you're cleaning!" With that he took it away and hid it in his room. I tried not to cry but I walked to my room, and threw myself on Caterpillars bed and cried until I had no tears left to cry. That's another thing to prove that I'm emo . I feel my heat break again when I think about my emo belt! *sob* I'm so emo! *uncontrollable tears!* Till tomorrow farewell! *sniffles*

Wow! This is probably the second time that I have weird dream Monday on a Monday. I had this dream about a year ago. But its message has stuck with me. Okay so before I went to sleep that day I had eaten about four granola bars! I was really embarrassed that I ate that many. So this is how my dream went: I was at the gates of Heaven, and God was standing there with a long list of names. I was the only one there in front of him. He turned and told me," Sorry you can't come in. You've eaten too many granola bars in your life time." Then this big gust of air came and took me away. At that moment I woke up! I was so scared that I completely stopped eating granola bars. I told my family my dream. Yeah and you'll probably guess what they said. What did you think about this dream?

Every time I make banana bread I ruin it. You see I double the recipe, and most of the time I forget things. But not today! I doubled the recipe, and instead of all white sugar I used some brown sugar also. The smell was heavenly! But I was afraid that it would be flat, and disgusting as usual. But no! It was perfect. In my many tries of making banana bread I finally made the perfect batch. Four loaves of wonderful smell, taste, and looks. Sadly I didn't take a picture before we devoured it, so I guess you'll have to take it from me. Monkey loves bread so she ate a lot of it! She also started a Blog today. Go Monkey!!

This week starts Young Women basketball practice! A couple months ago they were doing Volleyball. I know I suck at sports but I'm especially bad at Volleyball! So I didn't go to anything related to it. But I really like Basketball! I played on a team at the YMCA. Through the whole semester I scored one basket. It was really sad. I like playing against Buster, because I beat him every time!! Of course I make every basket when I'm at home, but when I'm playing anywhere else I can't do it. Do you guys have that problem? Oh! And the Friday after Christmas the Young Women are having a camp out. It sounds really exciting!!

My Dad bought Monkey deodorant a couple months ago. It's supposed to be Fresh Arctic apple. Yeah right. Every time she puts it on the whole room smells like it. It's a horrible smell. This is what it smells like: Month old rotten green apples, combined with stinky socks, with a little sugar to make it smell sickly sweet too. I hate being in the room when shes getting dressed because its aroma is nauseating! I wonder what she'll get next time. Peach breeze, or Tropic pineapple? I don't even want to know what those smell like!

This session of Weird dream Monday-Tuesday will now come to order. I had this dream Friday night, but I liked it so much that I remembered it! This is how it went......... Most of you know that I don't like Jacob Black (From Twilight). The beginning of my dream was like the end of Eclipse. I have no idea why almost all my dreams I'm older than I am in reality. Anyway I was 15 and I lived in some little town. I had a shed next to the house that I did my work in. In the dream I had a little sister whose name was Kate. My name was Beatrice. Very weird right? I met him and had a weird conversation about my life in my dream. In this dream I actually liked him. Anyway he imprints on me! Hm. Maybe it's because I'm dorky, and clumsy like Bella. At the end I got married to him! Yay me! Does this dream mean that subconsciously I do like Jacob? That is the only Twilight related dream that I ever remember having. I wish it could have been about Edward! *Oh! And the reason I didn...

Saturday afternoon I had a chance to talk to Brynn!! She sounded just like I thought she would. I never know what to say when I'm on the phone, so I sounded kind of dumb! Sunday was a very exciting day because it was Mel's and Coco's (My Aunt) birthday. I went with my Mom to get the cake. We found a semi- cute Dora cake, Mel is obsessed with Dora. The reason why I will never know! She wanted chocolate cake, but we got marble. It was a little something for everyone! Anyway we went to our Grandparents house played games and talked. Then my Mom asked me to play 'Dueling Banjos' on the piano. I did it! Well the beginning anyway. Now I'm trying to learn the rest. Mel got "My little pony" for her birthday, and Coco got a 3D castle puzzle that's really cool! Sadly Monday was the end of my weekend adventures. :(

Last night was our ward Christmas party! The theme was 'A night in Bethlehem.' I was the apprentice tailor for Sister M. My job was to record everything that people took. I also helped people get outfits put together. Sister M. made little 'treasure' bags for the people who returned the fabric at the end. Mona, and Crazy cat lady were there, they both were helping with the fruit stand. I called Cat lady 'Miss fruity' the whole time. She was greatly annoyed. I loved helping! I always feel left out when I don't have something to do. Mona came over to talk to me while everyone was watching the 'Nativity scene'. She also went over to the sweets shop to get both of us cookies. I was very surprised that she knew my favorite kind of cookie. (Which is oatmeal raisin) We said our fare wells and departed. I thought the party was the best! They did a really good job setting everything up. And that's all I have to say about the party!!

Tonight we are going to be babysitting for ward Temple night! There are a lot more babies than Young Women so this will be a very interesting activity. When we were planning it I recommend we do stations. On the bright side my Mom made a bunch of church related puzzles a long time ago, so all I had to do is get them into little groups. Last week all the youth went caroling for the activity. It was a lot of fun. There was a group that didn't come back until everyone was leaving. They had seen the missionaries, and they went caroling with their group. I really hope this activities goes smoothly.

Weird dream Monday was canceled due to the Internet connection shutting down and not saving anything. So today I bring you 'Weird dream Monday-Tuesday'! I had this dream along time ago, but it is still vivid in my mind! This is how it went... It was dark and everyone else was asleep. I was just laying in my bed thinking, and trying to get to sleep. Then I looked over to the door, the doll face wasn't there! I didn't see it anywhere. Well to understand the dream you have to know that I was very scared of the doll face. I still avoid it but I'm not scared anymore. Okay now that you know that we can go back to the dream. I couldn't breathe or move! I looked to the edge of the bed it was right there, and it was moving back and forth! It was mumbling things I couldn't understand. Then it smiled at me and tried to strangle me with it's long braids. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. Then I woke up. I couldn't go to sleep after that! The next night I ma...

Today is a day to celebrate! I finally found out when the next 'Chronicles of Narnia' movie is coming out. As some of you know it is one of my all time favorite series! I love all the books and the movie. The new movie looks amazing! I've decided to read the series again before it comes out (May 16). Eleven days after my birthday! I totally know what I want to do now. And today the 'Golden Compass' comes out in theaters. Almost all my favorite books are becoming movies now! It's all very exciting!

Yes. It's that time of year again. The time when most radio stations put on stinky Christmas music. (I absolutely despise Christmas music.) All of it sounds the same to me. I would also like to mention that most Christmas movies stink too. I would do a top ten list, because I'm sure there is enough stinky Christmas movies out there. But sadly enough, most people just don't have enough time to read that long of post. So here it is the Top 3 worst Christmas movies ever: 3. A Christmas story . "You'll shoot your eye out." The classic quote to this movie. Yeah! Sure we get it, you really want a BB-gun for Christmas. Your parents don't trust you enough to have one, so just give it up already and enjoy your 'fuzzy pink bunny pajamas.'Okay thanks. 2. Christmas with the Cranks . Yup! That's right only number two. Take your canned ham and cry about it. So your daughters coming home last minute for Christmas. Tell her you have plans already, you don'...

When I was in school I always had the worst substitutes. So about a year before I started home-schooling I had this substitute that was absolutely horrible. She was our teacher for the whole week. On Friday we were having a reading test, in the middle of the test I had this overwhelming urge to use the restroom. I went up her desk and asked her if I could go. This is what she told me, "Sorry sweetheart you're going to have to wait until we go to lunch." She didn't listen to me when I told her that this was an emergency. I finished my test in a rush so I could go. I ran back up to the front and begged her to let me go. She said," Fine you can go." I ran out of the class and down the hall. Sadly the classroom was a very long way from the restrooms. I did not make it! I had to go to the nurse and get a change of clothes, after I went and told the teacher. She gave me shorts to wear. So I walked around school for the rest of the day in shorts to small, and almos...

Remember when I mentioned Jams in the Apache post? Sadly I just can't ignore the main person in my story so he has to be in it.*sigh* Well you see we've been in the same ward for about three years now, and I've never spoken to him. But here's the weird thing about it, there is not a week that goes by that I don't dream about him! (or D.D) Anyway last night he was in my dream here's how it went....... I thought it looked like downtown but I wasn't sure. It was early afternoon, and for some reason Jams was with me, and my Dad's Focus was in the parking lot. In my dream I was fourteen, I was at work but I didn't know what it was that I was doing. Then I asked to borrowed his cell phone, to call my Mom and she told me to take the Focus and come home. Then I was really confused, how could I drive? I'm only fourteen. Then I asked Jams if he could drive me home. He said he would, then he climbed in a got the keys from the door. He kept stepping on the b...

Last night my Mom got the first season of Ghost whisper on DVD. Mom, Monkey and I all went to watch it on the computer in the living room. I knew I was going to cry because I always do. In the beginning of the first episode I didn't think it was very good. But then in the middle I started sobbing really hard. (Then at that moment I knew that it was a good episode!) It was like that for the whole thing, every episode I would cry, and cry (and then cry some more). I finally got the chance to catch my breath when the movie froze and I went to fix it. Then I started to cry again. So there you go, this is proof that I'm emo !!
