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.
