Adventures in NOT Getting the Numbers of Super Attractive Ginger Men

-

The other day at work I was feeling particularly unattractive. I had eaten a sausage biscuit, I had not exercised that morning, and I had a giant pimple in the middle of my forehead. I hibernated in back drive-thru the whole day because I didn't want anyone to see me. 

Anyway, I was getting ready for the end of my shift by stocking. Which meant I had to go up front. As soon as I rounded the corner I found myself face-to-face with the most attractive ginger man I have ever seen. (Similar to the picture below) I quickly tried to get out of sight by running to the front drive-thru window. I must have been totally red from blushing because the girl said very loudly, "Lauren are you crying? Why are you so red? Are you okay?" Because she was being so loud the guy looked over at me and started staring. I was mortified, and tried to leave as quickly as possible. As I made my way to the back, three people stopped me and asked why my face was so red, and that made me get even more embarrassed. Meanwhile, the super attractive guy was still on the front counter looking at me!!!

When I finally got the back drive-thru, the girl from up front got on the headset and said, "Lauren are you blushing??? Is that why you're so red? You like that ginger boy that is in the lobby don't you?" I seriously almost died. My face was probably not even a natural red anymore. Then she told me that she was going to ask him for his number for me. Thankfully, she was just messing with me. (I think...I never did get the number...)When the guy left he walked past the back window, he kind of waved at me, smiled, shook his head, and then drove away. 

I go running every morning, and I get salads at work, because I WILL be ready next time he comes in. ;)

Yup. That's right today is my 14th birthday. (I was born on 5-5-95!!! Isn't that awesome?!) I can't believe it! It doesn't feel like it's a year since whining about turning 13!! Anyway so my mom made me a delicious birthday breakfast that consisted of: Pancakes (raspberry, and cinnamon), cantaloupe, mini sausages, and hash browns!! It was all so good! And then my brothers and sister decorated my bed so when I woke up I was confused, and they decorated a birthday chair for me!!! I LOVE my family!! Yesterday I was talking to two girls in Kung-Fu named Diana, and Briana (they're sisters) and telling them about my birthday. I kept laughing because they were saying," Girl, you're going to need a walker, and dentures for your birthday presents this year......because you're old !!!" Then all the girls started telling me how old I looked to them. Briana said "15". Caterpillar said "25". And Diana said "400"! I told them I

And her name was Ms. Bossy Pants

There's this girl in my brothers church class. Her name is Ms. Bossy Pants . Just from her name you can find that she likes to boss people around, even if they're three times bigger than her! In sharing time she was in the row in front of where I was sitting. I was talking to the girl next to me trying to block out Ms. Bossy Pants bossiness. Then she turned around and started doing her signature move(rubbing her index fingers together and saying,"For shame."Oh! And shaking her head at the same time!) Isn't she such a little multi- tasker ? She started with the,"For shame Sunbum . For shame, your not suppose to be talking right now." (In my defence we still hadn't started class yet.) But that was enough for me, I didn't care if her mom was behind me(telling her mom is her only defence). Who is she to tell me what to do? Then the evillest plan popped into my head. I smiled wickedly at her. Then I turned to the girl next to me and said,"Oh loo

The Office Extravert

Before the pandemic I was a very social person. I had a PACKED social calendar, and constantly sought to be around people. I would host weekly game nights, friend dinners, and group outings. During and post-pandemic I was left with a lot of social anxiety and depression, and that really impacted my ability to socialize with others. I was convinced that one of the lasting symptoms of COVID was introversion.  When I first started working in my current office, I was still recovering from teacher burnout. I felt drained after any social interaction, and felt overwhelmed in highly populated areas (i.e. the grocery store). Anyway, when I started working in the office, I told my parents daily about how chatty people in the office were. I frequently said, "Wow, everyone in the office is so chatty. They just stop by my desk to talk to me all the time. Sometimes I get behind in my work because people stop so often.*" *I feel the need to clarify that I am constantly weeks ahead of sched
