The Importance of Being Lauren

I have just finished reading a fantabulous book entitled The 13th Reality by James Dashner. My mom totally surpised me and my siblings by making an un-announced stop at Barnes&Noble bookstore last Wednesday. I wasn't sure what book she was getting but then I remembered, "Oh yeah...That book she told me about a couple months ago. What was it called again?" Sadly, my feeble mind just couldn't remember. As soon as we paid and the book was nestled into my grubby, little hands, I started reading, and before I knew it, I was hooked. I couldn't believe how good The 13th Reality was. I had a hard time tearing myself away from the book for even a second. Of course I kind of have a life so I had to occasionally...........at least for potty breaks. Anyway, I absolutely loved The 13th Reality, and if I was a critic I would give it 5 stars. If I had 5 thumbs, I'd also give it a 5-thumb salute! It was one of the best books I've ever read. Yes, that's right I d...

As most of you know I'm completely and utterly obsessed with my teeth. But does anybody know why? Nope. But I'm going to write about it today. So then you can say,"Pshaw, I knew that a long time ago. That's so old news." Do want to be able to say that? If you do read on.... The disgusting reason why I'm obsessed..... .. Last year when I went to Girls Camp I made list after list of things to bring. After all my preparing, and craziness I forgot to list an very important essential. My toothbrush !!!! Of course when actually remembered it I was well on my way to camp. Needless to say I panicked. But sadly I couldn't do anything but worry. For the whole week I had to clean mouth with mouth wash! It was absolutely horrid. I was afraid to talk to anybody, in fear that they would comment on my breath, or die because it was so bad. I was so thankful when my secret sister gave me mint gum. The moment I got home I made a solemn promise that I would never do that...

Yesterday we finally finished working on the front yard! And I'm very excited about it. Before we finished Monkey, and I were talking while we weeded the big planter. Monkey was telling me about a girl in her class that can mimic all the characters on Napoleon Dynamite. I was laughing and quoting Tina's moment in the casserole spotlight until mom who was a couple feet away from me asked what I was talking about and I told her," Hello mom, you can't interrupt me while I'm talking about lama-eating casserole." I had meant to say casserole eating-lama, but whatever it didn't come out that way. As you can probably guess I was taken over by my laughing. After my laughter had died down, and I could see and talk clearly again my mom said to me,"If there was a lama-eating casserole you wouldn't be allowed in a petting zoo ." She said that they would tell me,"Sorry ma'am but that casserole is a danger to our lamas so you'll have to lea...

What movie is my favorite movie at the moment? Read on and see........ ....I have just finished watching League of Extraordinary Gentlemen . I loved this movie. I didn't think it was going to be as awesome as my dad said it would be, but I'm glad to say it was. This movie was a big nail bitter. Literally I hardly have any nails left! I now know that when you mix Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde , a vampire, an immortal, an invisible man , an expert hunter , an awesome Martial arts swordsman Captain guy , and Tom Sawyer, you have a great movie! It had wonderful action scenes, and interesting characters. And surprising villains, and heroes as well. Actually it only had one surprising hero, most of the people were bad. Anyway I highly recommend this movie to all of you.

On Tuesday I saw the most interesting thing while I was weedin g the front yard. Needless to say I couldn't resist Blogging about it. As Caterpillar, and I sat pouting about being subjected to the dread chore of weeding, and making a game where we each took turns telling each other how much we despise weeds when our neighbors garage door started opening. After it so rudely interrupted our pity party, I turned around and saw pink Van's walking toward the opening door, I was going to be nice and say,"Hi, Mrs. K." but I stopped for a moment and waited until she came out and then I saw," Oh. Um...That's not Mrs. K, it's her son Nathaniel !" I have no idea why I stopped before I said it, but I'm very glad I did. And that it didn't become one of my many embarrassing moments. After that close call I sat in ants on accident. Yeah, Caterpillar and I had ants in our pants, and up our legs! Then we danced around the yard trying to get them out. ...

Warning:This post contains an atrocious name, and mention of Hepatitis numerous times. A couple years ago our home school choir did a "Patriotic themed presentation". Everybody dressed accordingly, I wore my special patriotic visor that says " Princess Sunbum !" All the families were required to bring cookies. Needless to say there was a butt load of them. After the show was finished I went to go and snack with my friend Hannah Banana, and her friend Francisca. Alright, I don't remember the girls name. I guess I could have given her a better name but I'd rather not. As we were eating Francisca's brother ran up to us and told her,"This cookie is gross. I don't want it. Do you?" She took it, she took one bite, and made a nasty face. Then she turned to Hannah Banana and handing her the cookie. Hannah surprised me by taking a bite too! I couldn't contain my disgust and I said,"Hannah! By sharing food that other people have already bi...

This is a question that I have been pondering about for a while. Please give me your opinion on this question. When you tell your family that you don't like somebody, and you have almost completely deluded yourself into thinking that you don't, but you know deep down inside you do like them. Does that count as lying to yourself, and others?

The geese at our park are snobbish, spoiled, and mean. They also enjoy chasing children into the water. Yes, that would be me . We wanted to feed them but because of their rudeness we decided to walk on instead. We walked, and walked until we got to the fishing pond at the back of the park. While walking around Buster found a fishing wire, and hook. The rest of my siblings were impressed, and wanted to fish too . Soon almost all of them had their own sticks, and wires. They were determined to catch at least one fish. All of them kept coming to mom, and I to get Wheat Puffs to tie on their wires. Buster suddenly came running towards us. Before he could catch his breath he told us,"*gasp* I learned this at Boy Scout camp! *huff* Can I have more food ?!" Mom and I fell over with laughter. Buster looked confused. She said to him," No wonder you liked it there! You were probably eating all the time" After that we stayed for thirty more minutes. Much to their disappoi...
