The Importance of Being Lauren

Have you heard of a show called Dresden Files ? Have you ever seen it at your local Blockbuster and thought that it sounded really good; but you decided to get something "better" instead? If you have done either of these things then rest assured you are not alone. My mom really wanted to get it, but of course she didn't get it then and there, but eventually she decided that it was finally time to get it. Well actually I'm the one who reserved it at the library for her, I was shocked to find that we were number 30! It seemed as though everybody wanted to see it at the same time. We've had it for two weeks now, but we only started watching it yesterday. When the rest of my family finished eating cake that was left over from my cousin's 3rd birthday party we all gathered our mushroom chairs around the computer, and started this thrilling adventure without having to move an inch. That is of course if you don't count our ice cream break, which was necessar...

One day as our dad cooked dinner and my sisters and I were setting the table we decided that like Snow White's annoying 'whistle while you work' admonition we also needed something to do while we worked. Suddenly without a word of warning all us girls suddenly burst out singing ' Clothes Off' by Gym Class Heroes. Dad was horrified! As we all shoulder shook, and sang into our forks he just shook his head at our craziness and went back to cooking.... I would like to see Snow White and her animal posse do that. "We don't have to take our clothes off to have a good time, oh no......"

Last night I had the opportunity to watch this amazing movie!! Of course that was after my dad watched it first and gave it two thumbs up. Whether it was for family friendliness, or for guaranteed emo-ness I have no idea. I suppose it was both. Since we were watching the movie at home I had to choose between getting killed for not watering my moms plants for the second night in a row, or watching the whole thing. If I had watched it all the way through I wouldn't have any tears left in my emo eyes. I love this movie because : It made me cry, there was a lot of gorgeous music (that made me cry even more), and it had a very sweet ending. (Yes, I cried at the end too) Mr. Muscle unfortunately chose the spot next to me in the mushroom chair and he got squeezed many times in my anticipation of the ending. Mr. Muscle loves superhero movies and despises anything sweet, so I was very surprised when he said that August Rush was even better than Iron Man ! * sniff* I always knew he had a ...

I have just finished reading Scrambled Eggs at Midnight at midnight on Friday. I decided to read it after Cameo recommended it a couple months ago. Yes, I know it took a while but it was completely worth the wait. I wasn't enthusiastic about reading it at first, but as soon as I read the first line where she says,“My mother is a wench. It says so on her w-2″ I knew I was going to love it. Sure enough I "ate" it up, and it was really good. Thank you for recommending this book to me Cameo, and to all of you that haven't read this book you should! *Especially those of you who are hungry for a good book.*

It's my birthday!!!!! Yes, I'm turning 13 today. *sob* So far I have been treated to a dewberry pancake breakfast courtesy of Monkey, my other siblings decorated my chair, and ladder with streamers. They look really awesome! Plus Mel even let me have pink Boobah to carry around for the rest of the day. Then they made really cute flowers out of tissue paper, one of the flowers is behind my ear at the moment. I love my brothers, and sisters! *Ha! I'm not going to be thirteen until 12:45!*

In my house I'm considered the Roach slayer , so whenever there's a roach terrorizing the not-so-innocent residence in our house no matter what time it is, I have to go kill it. There have been a lot of tree roaches around here lately so I have been in a constant Code Raid alert made for a while. Anyhow yesterday morning my mom woke me up at 4:00 to kill a roach that she had seen crawling in between the orange bag, and plates that Caterpillar had neglected to put away the night before. I wanted to get over with it as soon as possible, so I walked into the kitchen not knowing what kind of trouble I was getting into. As soon as I saw how huge that thing was I instantly felt afraid, and wanted to turn back and run to my bed. Curse that stupid brain of mine that decided to stay and face that absolutely ginormous roach ! *shudder* I'm still scared to think about it. Okay back to the story... Monkey was awakened by mom also but she's never much help when it comes ...
