The Importance of Being Lauren

Happy Labor Day everybody!!! Up until recently I thought that Labor Day was just another excuse for people to take one last vacation before the end of Summer. One afternoon I asked my first source of information (mom) about it. If my mom hadn't challenged me to find out what Labor Day actually was on my own; I would still be soaking in my ignorance. Since my first source wouldn't help me, I had to solely rely on my second form of information......Wikipedia!!! I learned a lot of things about this holiday, and I would like to share some of my new-found knowledge with all of you! Labor Day: · A United States Federal holiday · It originated in 1882 when Central Labor Union of New York City made a day for working citizens to have the day off. · It was made a holiday by Congress in 1892 · For some people it symbolizes the end of summer · It is celebrated the first Monday in September (I already knew this one.....) · It’s different then Labour Day which is celebrated in most ot...

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 ...

Monday night my mom and I went to Wal-Mart. We of course were listening to the awesome station Upop on her XM radio. We were about 3 minutes away from the parking lot when the new Muse song came on (No, sadly I don't remember what it's called), my mom grudgingly kept it on just for me . It took about 5 minutes to park, because she couldn't get into the space right, even with me directing her. When she came out she told me,"It's all because of that horrible music you made me put on! You see it was so distracting that I couldn't park right." I of course just laughed and teased her about it throughout the whole store. There you go Muse music is so powerful that it can affect your driving!!! The horror!
