Life of Lauren

Alright, so my Gluten free diet ended about two weeks ago, and in good timing with the Holiday's coming and going. I still need to have a little celebration of it by going out and feasting on either pizza, pancakes, or good hardcore Chinese food. It is going to be awesome! Okay, story time. For those of you who don't know me as well as you wish you did, well you may want to take notes. Please do not allow food or liquid to be around me in a humorous or possibly humorous setting. If it is around do not allow me to partake, choking may occur. No choking will occur. I have choked on my food multiple times while I was among my coworkers. May I just need to go to another lunch table or something. I choked my second week on chocolate milk because a coworker said his children heard that chocolate milk was made to cover up all the blood and puss in milk. Ha ha yeah right, I laughed but instead of spitting my milk out I swallowed it. Bad idea because my lungs were messed up for at least...

I have not had any gluten for over a month. I thought that I would have died by now, but my body is still functioning. Why no gluten? Well, I thought I could do with losing a few pounds before the holidays. You know like preweight loss, because everyone wants to lose after the holidays. So, why not lose it before? Genius, I know. If you really believed that load of fluff, well I'm must be really good, or you don't know me very well. Ha ha. Alright, the real reason I have gone off gluten is to see if it has anything to do with these blasted headaches I get all the time. Yes, they are still roaming around in the left side of my head. I hate them and I try to use that word sparingly. It has been maybe 5 years since they started. I'm tired of going to the Dr all the time and not getting any relief. So, I decided to try some things. To test out some theories myself, before going back to the Dr's. Gluten has had no effects on my headaches. I am ...

Alright, so the last time I blogged I think I mentioned something about a couple of guys of interest. One of them is a no go and another is still in the running's. The No go. I was really trying hard to like this one. He has a great job, a fancy car, a house, even a motorcycle. He would come up and talk to me after each activity and it was all cool. I soon realized that I really didn't have feelings for the guy. I was trying so hard to like him that it wasn't coming naturally and then realized I didn't like him. There were other things that made me not like him either. Like the fact that he lived alone in his house with 2 cats and how just the other day he called me sparkles. Friends if you know me then you would know something like calling me sparkles would make me want to throw up or gag. I am also more of a dog person than a cat person, and would prefer my animals/pets to hang outdoors. I also had a nightmare the other day that I married him, and during the whole d...

This is gonna be short and sweet. Short and sweet I hope. So far I have not complained once outside of work about my job. That hasn't happened in well, forever. Okay that was a lie, sometimes I complain about how early I have to get up. Nothings perfect. I auditioned for institute choir, mainly to make friends. Let's begin by telling you all that I was nervous. I will conclude by letting you know I didn't make it. I'm okay, because it really isn't my scene, so save your tissues. Maybe next year? I have also decided to give the hairless another look. I do prefer gentlemen with hair, however there have been a couple runner ups, interests who don't have a lot of fluff up top. Mine as well. Alright, I think that is it. Short and sweet right?

Yes Awesome, I am still trying to pinch myself out of this fantasy. Any day I am expecting something horrible to go wrong and hating what I have gotten myself into. I have a new job. Yes, yes blah blah, I know what you all must be thinking. "Why can't Lauren stick to one job, she job hunts an awfully lot?" Well hopefully the cycle has stopped. Oh, and I didn't really quit my workplace. I transfered! I transfered from Cashiers to Display. Which means I wake up super early for work (cause I gotta be there at 6:30am, but I get to leave at 3pm!). I get to work Monday through Friday, with an occasional Saturday. This also means that my paycheck will go up a $1.50. WHoop Whoop! So, maybe after some financial figuring and a potential roomate I can move out. Alright, so now my job. Every morning I go though and straighten up the little mess that customers may have left the night before. Then I fill in the holes that they may have le...

And thirds the one with the hairy chest! OK that may have not been the best phrase to use, but it's what came to my mind. Anyways many of you may know that last year in March I had a nose job, and no it was not rhinoplasty , it was an endoscopic sinus surgery. The outside of my noise looks fine, thank you very much. It has been over a year and well the pain has not gone away, so now I have returned to the Doctors to see what is up. So on Tuesday I will be having a CT scan on my head again. I am almost 99.9 percent sure they will find something and that I will have to have surgery again. Weird thing was that the first time I had surgery they didn't pull out mucous gunk but, they found hetero topic sinonasal neurological tissue. Easy terms excess brain mass. My mom still doesn't believe that, but who could forget something like that. I've head from some that their head pain didn't actually go away until they had surgery the second time, so here goes...

Yeah yeah yeah long time no write, but I have been a very busy woman. So busy that I am even surprised that I was even able to squeeze in a blind date. Those of you who know me may be a little surprised that I even went on a blind date, because I don't like blind dates. My first date actually was a Blind date and being younger and at BYU Idaho I thought oh my goodness could this be the one. No, no it really couldn't cause there was something wrong we my date. Let's just say he had a sweet spirit if you get what I mean. My dating record has been about the same. I could probably, well easily tally up every single date or little set up I've ever been on. So when a friend of mine asked me if I was still single I said yes. She had just recently married almost a year ago and her husband knew of a single man who was I pharmacist tech (I think). My friend gave me his name indicating to me that I should check him out on facebook and I was just about to when m...

Ugh, the bacterial infection known as the common cold has finally made a small settlement in my body. This month has been a hard one, I think i had a cold like three times this month, but they ended really quickly. It was just the common cold. Friday night I get home from work and my throat is sore, so I go home eat and rest. Saturday my throat gets worse and I am close to loosing my voice. I was half tempted to leave early, I got out 15 minutes early. I went to Walgreen's and picked up some cough drops and alka seltzar thought I'd just cure myself over night. Sunday came and it was hmmm okay. I went to two hours of church then went home to rest it off. Monday I didn't have preschool so I slept in rested and well had a slight temperature so called in for work. I think it's better to keep ones germs to oneself. Tuesday (today) I called in for preschool, thought I could make it to RC Willey. I kept having the chills so I called in sick at RC Willey too. I feel a ...

Okay, so life hasn't been all that crazy, but then now that I think about it I'm going to take that statement back. I am working 56 hours! Hello that's crazy! I wouldn't normally do something so crazy, but I needed the job's, the experience, and the money. I haven't had much time for well anything. When I get home I eat and go to bed, or I'm doing laundry, cleaning, and ironing my clothes. My bro would say dang Gina, but I do what I must do. Hopefully I will still be able to do it and have the complete mindset. I haven't really had much time for my meditation or to start my yoga err . I love working preschool and I'm still adjusting to the Willey. Now story time, with a lesson that I learned and will gladly share. So I'm in a new ward and in my old ward I would just sit by myself. So I sat by myself the other day close to the front. I was checking out the dudes who were there to pass the sacrament and well one I thought was A okay looking. ...

January has been crazy and blessed. In the last week I have had 3 scheduled interviews and 2 job offers in which I took. Now I will be working 50 plus some hours. Not much for a social life, but it's not like I had a crazy social life anyways. People will probably be calling me now like crazy, figures. Anyways it's a great blessing, but will probably bring me stress because I just get stressed. Stress leads to headaches, which to me is migraines which is pain so then I don't function as well. I have been studying up on Aromatherapy and Meditation, which is really interesting. There are some forms of meditation that they say will bring you closer to God. Sometimes it sounds really silly, but if we want answers to our prayers aren't we usually in quiet places. What's more quieter than meditation? So friends Meditation it will be.
