The Importance of Being Lauren

Boy 1: Oh, well I take theater. Boy 2 (In a confused tone): What's theater? Boy 1 (Sarcastically): It's where they give you lines, and you make it real. *eye roll* Boy 2: Oh.......*blush* Yeah......

Monday afternoon I had the pleasure of watching the highly anticipated movie Twilight ! I thought the movie was okay , the music was fantabulous though, and the people were extremely good looking. My mom and I laughed a lot throughout the movies running time. I almost passed out from lack of breathing because I was laughing so hard when Edward kisses Bella's forehead. (It looked like a lip-suction cup on her forehead.) And again at the very end when Bella wants Edward to bite her and Bella's eyes are rolling all over the place in anticipation!!!!! That was the greatest!!! I liked the movie don't get me wrong, but it had so much potential to be better. They put way too many "wink, wink" moments for me to take it too seriously. I loved Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and of course Edward! They are my favorite vampires!!! Now tell me what you thought of the movie........... This scene was totally awesome!! His......Hair......Is.....Perfect!!!! The best pictures of Robert P...

Oh my goodness!!!!!! A couple minutes ago at dinner I had this terrible experience that I hope will never be subjected to ever again!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see I was just absentmindedly enjoying my ravioli at dinner, and my mom who had already finished hers was going through the grocery bags and exclaimed,"Papi, I see that you've bought this lovely loofah for yourself. What's that all about?" My dad got defensive about his new ugly loofah and said,"Well I was tired of using that puny white spongy so I had to get this ." Suddenly I heard in a faint voice the description of "puny white spongy". "Wait a minute........" I thought to myself; that sounds just like my spongy, the one that I bought for camp...............(all of this thinking only took a second) And then............ "Noooooooooooo!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!!! That's my spongy!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!!! You scrubbed your nasty butt with the spo...

Last week while my familia and I raided our local Kroger store we met this rude lovely lady on the reject aisle . I personally think the lovely lady was badly in need of a couple of glasses of apple juice, and a couple of reeealllly long naps!!!!!! My feisty middle sister Caterpillar is notoriously known for her temper-tantrums, and her "stubborn as a mule" attitude. At one store all the employees know her by name and they shake their heads and mumble,"It's Caterpillar! The girl with the baddest attitude in all of Tacoville!!!!!" every time we come in. (Just like in Hello Dolly where the waiters all start whispering,"It's Dolly! It's Dolly! The lady with the biggest appetite in all of New York City!!!") Anyway the most recent tantrum was over her doctors appointment, she was so upset that she yelled at my mom,"I'm not going home with you! I'm going to live here forever!!!" She even sat down in the middle of the aisle t...

This all started while I was feeling sad because Ross didn't have any emo shoes in stock!! Through my sorrow I noticed that I didn't know where my family was, so I started walking around trying to find them. (Not that it's hard to) I was looking down each of the aisle trying to find everybody when I saw her !! She was an older woman, obviously from Hispanic descent, she was um....a heavier set lady. Honestly it wasn't her that I saw......It was her tight gold shirt that had some very interesting letters on it! Across the saggyness right above her belly it read," Sexy !" in rhinestone letters!!!!!! (See I told you very, very interesting ......) I cannot lie! I laughed so hard I fell over on the floor, and then of course I had to share this moment with my mom. She acted very stealthy while taking a sneaky peek down the aisle, sadly her stealthiness was ruined when she came back and started laughing with me. Then she was wondering why in the world would she we...

Wonderful Upop (as heard on XM radio) has just introduced my mom and I to this amazing band from Denmark called..... Alphabeat !! I love them for their peppy, cute, musical sounding songs that are easy to sing along to. Their adorable videos are super fun to watch also. This band is just plain awesome!! So I recommend all of you to give them a try!!.......

Dear Stomach, I'm terribly sorry that I ate both sauerkraut , and burritos at lunch today. I know that I was very foolish to commit a crime so horrendous, and I'm truly sorry for the pain that I caused you. I would also like to apologize for drinking a milkshake even though you already felt like dying, I honestly didn't feel your pain until after I had already finished. I hope you will accept my apology, and also understand that I have learned my lesson and I will never do it again. Lots of Love (and pain)- Sunbum *This really did happen, you can ask my mom. I came moaning onto her bed and she said,"If you ate a burrito and sauerkraut for lunch then I have no sympathy for you!" I stared at her in disbelief. "How did you know?" I asked her astonished. She laughed and shook her head at me and said,"No sympathy, none at all. It's your own fault. You are the one that started the war between the Mexicans and the Germans." *sniff* My mother ...

My dad took my siblings and I on a shopping adventure to Kroger last Friday. While we were in the produce aisle my dad asked Buster to get a cantaloupe. Buster quickly began his process of picking a good cantaloupe by knocking on the outside of it. (When he did that Monkey and I said in squeaky voices," Yes ....Who is it?" Sadly he didn't hear us.) The next step was putting his ear to the cantaloupe to "hear" if the cantaloupe was sweet. Poor Buster wasn't able to finish choosing because dad turned around and saw him!! Buster was especially embarrassed when everybody started calling him The Cantaloupe Whisperer . *By the way Buster started a Blog yesterday clickedy here to check out The Burrito Boy !!!*

This post is brought to you from Sunbum's Dorky Injuries Report. The following is just to assure you that this is not being written from behind or beyond the grave....... Anybody who has ever read my Blog would know that it's just a walk in the park for me when it comes to hitting my head on car doors , and munching the floor in skipping accidents , or pouring scorching hot cereal on my face!! Sadly it wasn't any of those things this time. Today I got to try something new and " different" in the kitchen injury department. It wasn't the dorkiest thing that I've done, and it wasn't life threatening (If anybody was worried)it was just plain old Sunbum dorkiness......Can you guess what I did? I was attacked by the papercut giving "Paper Plate of Doom" at lunch!! I have the cuts to prove it too! Yes, you may laugh now.....

One day I was teasing one of the girls in my class about being so White and Nerdy , while she was teasing me about being a Graham Cracka! Just as we started to break out some Weird Al awesomeness these two girls came up behind us. We didn't want to completely embarrass ourselves by singing in front of people we didn't even know so we stopped and waited for them to leave. We were just waiting "patiently" when we heard them say this...... Girl 1 : Ow! You pushed me!! Girl 2 : Well you were supposed to stand Steadfast and Immovable ! Girl 1: *giggle* *snort* That was so funny. Girls 1&2: Exit the scene laughing and repeating everything that just happened. White and Nerdy and I turned and looked at each other with our mouths agape. I told her,"I'm sorry but you have just lost your title of White and Nerdy , and I now award it to them ." She said,"I'm going to have to agree with you Graham Cracka ." And then we walked away stumped on what...

Almost every time I get into a car I hit my head on the door frame. The probability my hitting my head is 8 out of 10, yes I know that's really sad but it's completely true. On the way home from camp I had a splitting headache that only musicals could fix. You can probably guess why I had the headache but I'll tell you anyway. Okay I was distracted by a girl who was teasing me about the way I say buttons, which I pronounce buddins. It's not that different, is it ? I was telling her that I wasn't weird for saying buttons the way I do, and then SMACK!!!!!! It was so forceful that I fell backwards into the actual door, and then the crown that I was wearing painfully pressed into my scalp. (I now have a bump on my head from it.)*sigh* I had to endure friends teasing almost the whole way home.......

Whoo!!! Girls Camp was the awesomest!!! Although it went way too fast. :( I learned so many things this year, and I also made a bunch of friends! On the way home Jazzy and I wrote new lyrics to The Sound of Music songs, and sang a butt load of other musical. We also did Rich Man, shaking included. It was a lot of fun. *I didn't get any major injuries at camp, most of them came on the way home!*

Last November my mom found these beauties at the Magnolia Dollar General, where generally nothings ever a dollar, or even around a dollar. My mom was delighted to find that they were having a super mark down sale for everything they couldn't sell from the summer. From all that stuff I got a shirt to bead for my Apache Dance performance (that Monkey did for me), a Sponge Bob shirt (that I love and wear all the time), and these awesome not dollar..... not 50 cent..... but 10 cent thongs!! 10 cents ! Are you jealous now?

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...

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?*

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...

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. ...

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...
