The Importance of Being Lauren

Yesterday my sister Mel was standing in front of the fan and saying,"Look at me I'm Superman!" When she said that my dad laughed and said,"You're a girl, I'd be worried if you were Super man." The moment Mel stopped singing and comprehended what he was saying she got very indignant and told him,"I not say Super man, I said Pooperman! " I was laughing so hard that I fell out of my chair, and then got the perpetual "evil" eye from my dad. *Sigh* *Prepare yourselves for her "amazing" powers*

Last week for my Young Women activity we learned how to cook. Apparently cooking macaroni from a box, and frozen tortellini doesn't count as actually cooking. I was sorely disappointed about that. We learned how to cook chicken noodle soup, biscuits, and chocolate-covered peanut butter balls. It wasn't the healthiest meal ever but it tasted good, and the girls didn't lick their fingers while cooking so that added another point to the quality of the food. While we were eating some of the girls were arguing about whether a tomato is a fruit or not. One girl stated in a pompous tone,"Well tomatoes have seeds so that means they're fruits. So I'm right." I turned averting my attention from eating for a second and said," Hm . I'm the fruit of my mothers loins so that means I'm a fruit too! Wow! Isn't that amazing?" Most of the girls fell into fits of laughter, while Ms. Pompous rolled her eyes at me. It was totally awesome.

The other day my dad got one of those ad letters in the mail. It read, "You've won the grand prize! You can choose between a Porsche, or a Mustang!! Congratulations!!!" I thought he meant porch so I asked,"Why don't they just give you the whole house?" Then Monkey said," Yeah . Wait, is it a front porch or a back porch?" My dad looked disgusted and he told us that a Porsche is a car, and that people don't usually give away porches . See I learn new and interesting things everyday. *sigh* At least it happened at home so nobody else had to suffer through that horrible ordeal.

I'm so happy! Surprisingly the weather here is perfect, and I love it. Since I want to soak up the sun (no I am not quoting Sheryl Crow!) before it's too hot I have spent many of my precious hours outside like a normal kid. Ha! Like I could ever be normal . Yesterday I went to help my grandmother clean her house, I also did her weeds. Hers are a lot better than ours. *sigh* The worst part though was that all her weeds were inside the holly bushes . I have just developed a strong hatred toward holly bushes , you should see the scratches they give. Yuck! Today's music selection is..... Spill Canvas's All Over You. I think that song rocks, I listened to over and over while I wrote this post. I think you should listen to it right now on my play-list.

This picture is of my new favorite band Metro Station . The band was started by Miley Cyrus' brother, and Oliver from the show Hannah Montana's older brother. I have their song Shake It on my play-list, and I recommend that you listen to it. That's right just go and click on it and give it a listen. Hopefully you guys will think that they are awesome too!

Today is Monkeys 12th birthday. Yes, we are both going to be 12 for the next month. Isn't that great? So this is for you Monkey. Sorry I just discovered that there is very few pictures of just you alone. Well Happy Birthday anyway!!!! Come here to wish her a happy birthday too! She's the tallest person in this picture. *sniff* This is what she had to wear when doing Taekwondo. It was completely white until she started exercising in it. Woo hoo! That was one of the funnest pictures ever to take. Wasn't it? (Is funnest a word?) I think she might love this family more than me. :( She is a true cheese-ball, but we all love her like that. These are her stick-figures, man they're very fancy! Beware: She is fierce when she has her cookie gun. Make no sudden movements when she has it in her hands. You have been warned. Seriously she gets really mean if you mess up the cookies. These are some of the things I know about you: Your favorite color is: Turquoise Your fav...

The following is a recap of Teen Quest last night..... Teen Quest was awesome! Monkey, and I had a blast. Monkey learned that I never exaggerated while describing the craziness of the home-schooled teens, she was extremely surprised at that. The lesson was on the importance of scheduling, and prioritizing your task so that you'll get things done during the day. They told us that you shouldn't multitask because you can't focus on just one thing. Did you know that there has never been a time where they have disappointed me with their lessons? Yes, it's that good. They totally had me when they brought out the Twinkies in order to put everything in perspective. Ha! I'm just kidding about the Twinkies , I don't even really like Twinkies I only like Ding-Dongs . All that chocolate cake goodness.... Well anyway after it was over I went to talk to my friend Jamie, it's always fun talking him. To make a short story even shorter I had a wonderful time, even though ...

Tonight I'm going to Teen Quest, and I'm very excited about it. Teen Quest is an activity in our home-school group and usually we have someone come and teach us, and then we do activities related to whatever they taught. So tonight they asked us to bring friends to the activity. But sadly I couldn't invite anyone from my class because the Young Women fundraiser is tonight also. Now I don't know who to ask because it's in a few hours. Argh... I was considering inviting Nathanial but sadly my parents didn't agree with that plan. I know I'm going to invite my imaginary friend Lola. *Extending the invitation to Lola* Wait what did you say Lola? You can't go because you have what ??!! Oh I see...*ahem* Alrighty then Lola can't come. Shoot now I'm sad! If you could come would you go with me?

In the front of our neighborhood we have a sign that the "Home-Owners Association" puts announcements on. Can you guess what this months was? No, probably not. All it said was a boring "Happy April Fools Day". I was totally outraged at this lame sign, and I wanted to do something about it. I told my mom," I could do so much better than that!" This is what the sign would look like is I was in-charge...... " Christmas Parade this Saturday @ 10:00 come and meet Santa! (Be sure to dress warmly) April Fools Suckers! Have they no creativity whatsoever? I guess there's always next year. By the way I hope you have a great April Fools day. *Can you guess what my April Fools thing is?*
