I miss my buddy!!

When I worked at MT's Restaurant with Marianne and Mickey we met a few airmen that stole our hearts :)

I would like to introduce to you Frantz.

He was my buddy.

The most unique and sweet guy I've met in quite some time.

We don't stay in touch quite like I'd like to, but he's always on my mind!

I hope you are doing well, wherever you are!!

I miss your smiling face :)

Come visit in Texas sometime soon!

I packed my TIARA!

We are off!

Mehle and I are going to Gladewater this weekend for Jayde's 5Th birthday!

It's a princess themed birthday party!

I can't believe how fast my little Tator Tot is growing up!

And we'll get some much needed sister time in :)

**the below pictures were from Mehle's Graduation...we went in for an over enthusiastic hug...we fell**

Remember, no matter where you go...there you are.

I don't believe in "perfect moments" anymore.
I don't believe because ANY moment can be perfect.
It's "perfect" because you decide it's perfect.

I was not allowed to think of him. That was something I tried to be very strict about. Of course I slipped; I was only human. But I was getting better, and so the pain was something I could avoid for days at a time now. The tradeoff was the never-ending numbness. Between pain and nothing, I’d chosen nothing.-Bella Swan

Make FUN if you must. But these books are wonderful.
And they make me happy!
So what if I jumped on the mainstream bandwagon?
You should too!

Something to look forward to!!
November 20th
You can't get here soon enough.

Open Letters:

I think I'm going to try to post an "open letters" blog each week.
Just short little letters to whoever or whatever I need to say something to.


Dear Mehle,
I'm sorry I wore your new shoes. And I'm sorry that I haven't told you about it yet.
Love,
The shoe burglar

Dear Hair,
I don't like you. I liked you before I got you cut. Now you just look like a stupid football helmet on my head. Thanks allot. Now grow back out.
Love,
The fat head you lay on

Dear Dita Von Teese
You're so pretty. How do you do it?
Love,
The jealous girl

Dear Paycheck,
Please get bigger. Thank you.
Love,
The poor person who needs to live within her means.

Dear Weather
I like it when you have a slight chill. I like to bundle up.
Love,
The snuggler

Dear Yukon
I have neglected to get your oil changed for a couple weeks. I promise, though, that I will take care of you as soon as I can. Maybe you should talk to my paycheck about getting bigger. That would help allot.
Love,
Your terrible owner

Dear Cheese Soup
you, my friend, are delicious! (Rotel and Velveeta)
Love,
Your faithful fan

Dear Bella,
I miss you so much! And I miss your Mommy! Please come stay with me for awhile!
Love,
The one who squeezes you a little too much.

Honest to blog!

Thanks to sweet Belen I have been tagged again :)
http://einahpetsneleb.blogspot.com/2009/10/honestly-tagged.html

This time, though, I'm going to try to dig out 10 things you don't know about me. I posted 10 random things back in July. Then got Tagged again by Marisa and answered the questions that were added .
So here is 10 MORE randoms :)

1. I like to eat salt and vinegar chips on pizza. (If this isn't the epitome of a fat girl I don't know what is)

2. I have a real anxiety about being late. Late to work. Late for a lunch date. I'm usually early. Sometimes so early that I'm waiting and getting mad. haha.

3. I have really bad bad bad heartburn. Yes, acid reflux. Like a ninety year old man.

4. I like to wear huge jewelry. I'm going to be the old woman hunched over as a result of years upon years of wearing jewelry that's entirely too big/heavy. (the necklace below is one I would like....if you feel the need to buy it for me then you should go right ahead)

5. Babies are my weakness. I want to hold every one of them. I really wouldn't mind staying in every weekend taking care of a baby....but I'm not ready for one yet. So right now I just love on everyone else's.

6. I'm growing my highlights out of my hair. I'm on this "get your hair healthy" kick right now and it's been since May since I've had it dyed. My hair is naturally a dirty blond so the color that I have in it isn't growing out too bad right now. It kind of all blends....I hope. Plus I chopped ALLOT off!

7. I have never lived alone. Since high school I have only lived with Sister. And I would like to be more independent but I'm not sure I have it in me. And I would miss her. We have special things that only we know about. And it just wouldn't be the same to live apart.

8. I love love love to watch scary movies....but I have a frickin nervous breakdown in a haunted house. I don't know what it is. We went to one last year and I almost passed out!! I walked through the whole thing with one arm FIRMLY around my 12 year old nieces stomach and the other covering my eyes.....Then Mehle says "OH MY GOD!! IT'S MICHAEL MYERS!! RUUUUUUUN!!" So naturally I look up and to my left he is just sitting there on the edge of his bed....he jumps up and stabs the wall between me and my tour guide (my niece who I'm squeezing the life out of) and I scream (like the lady that I am) "I think I just peed my pants a little!!!" And I was outta there.

9. I'm deathly terrified of heights. I went to Las Vegas with a friend of mine when we were 16 and her parents wanted to eat in the Stratosphere thing.....Well the restaurant spins on the outer edge but because I'm such a wiener we had to sit on the part that DOESN'T spin....away from the beautiful view of the city of lights. Thank GOD THE ROLLERCOASTER WASN'T WORKING THAT NIGHT!!

10. When I get upset or feel let down I shut off ways of communicating from other people. Because my feelings get hurt so easily, and I avoid confrontation...for example: it's easier for me to delete my MySpace and say "To hell with you." I don't completely cut them out of my life but I like to think they miss talking to me. Or when the whole thing with Stupid Boy was going on I was very anxious to move away. I thought that it was perfect timing for a fresh start...and maybe, just maybe, he'd miss me a little.

Friday...

To My imaginary Boyfriend,

I am so VERY SORRY that I will miss your show on Friday night. Please, please remember, though, that I do love you. And with all my heart I'm sad I didn't get to hear you sing to me.

Love,

Lauren

Bart Crow is playing at a local bar here on Friday night and I'll be on the road to my niece's birthday party so I will not be able to go watch him.

I always call him my boyfriend. I think he will be someday. He loves me. He just doesn't know it yet :)

How can you NOT love a guy that writes/sings lyrics like this:

I can feel your heartbeat when your lying by my side

I can see forever when I look into your eyes

Each day beside you, girl you take my breath away

Right here in your arms is where I wanna stay

It's the way that you look girl

When you're reading late at night

It's the way that your body feels

When you're lying by my side

A love like ours, it can't be built in a million dreams

It's just you and me and girl, you're all I need

Watching you walk in yeah,

you're dancing through my world

Got your heart in my hands 'cause you're Daddy's little girl

Baby, I've loved you from our very first hello

At first, you stole my heart, baby, here's my soul

I never knew love could be so sweet

I never knew, girl, that you could love me

But I'll spend each day just to make your dreams come true'

Cause it's just you and me Baby, it's me and you

It's just you and me, baby

It's you and me, darlin'

its you and me and girl your all i need.
