A Pet Peeve

We all have pet peeves. Well, most of us have some sort of irritation or annoyance.  Some are major and other minor. If you are pet peeve free congratulations! Seriously, I'm working on mine.I have a secret pet peeve that will no longer be secret. I try to ignore it. Some days I am cool and just let it go, but then other days it really bothers me. This week it has really bothered me. It's an easy fix too, and I really don't think people realize what they're doing and I should correct them on the spot, but I don't and that's my fault.
Some of you that know me well enough may have already guessed what it is? Mostly everyone pronounces my name incorrectly. My name is Lauren, spelled as you can see with AU not O like Loren. There are some girls named Lauren that pronounce there name Loren. That is not my case. It drives me crazy and I laugh inside and mentally shake my head when I introduce myself as Lauren and they automatically call me Loren. That is when I should make the correction. It's spelled differently and Loren is a males name just a random fact for you all. I do appreciate those who do pronounce my name correctly. I do notice, it has a nice ring to it. It catches my attention.
Thanks friends for letting me get this off my chest. I do appreciate it. No, I am not offended if you've been pronouncing my name incorrectly and hopefully you aren't offended for my honest opinion.

    Ha, it's really not an honest opinion. It's a statement a declaration.

Another bit of Bittersweet

Image
This week has been a good meh bittersweet week. My week was rolling as I worked my butt off for my 7.25 dollars an hour job (and yes my job hunt is never ending). I also had some great time getting together and hanging out with friends and family this week. Now that was my sweet part and Tuesday was when the bitter rolled on in. I got home around 6 from work and popped on the computer to check my emails and facebook and noticed that in the left upper corner of my facebook page I had a message. I clicked on the message and wish I hadn't because it wasn't a very friendly how's it going message. It was a hurtful message and part of it confused me because I was thinking about whether maybe other people viewed me in the same way that person was viewing me. Yes, I do sometimes analyze things a little much, but sometimes it's because I haven't experienced some of what people might call norms in their lives(those of you that know me inside and out may understand where ...

Seriously?

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...

To be BuOYant

Ha ha buoyant means your gay (in a happy way) and cheerful, and boy is in buoyant, so boys can make a girl buoyant and giddy (yes I said giddy). So before I start story time my dude friends may want to turn away from reading this post... I believe there are only a couple of you. You can read it if you want but if you don't like it, hey I did warn you. Ok story time. A couple weeks ago I went to my father's ward (he is the new 2 nd counselor of a BIU ward), well I was being the observant girl that I am and checking the market out. Ha ha yes yes I did it and was a little impressed, and one handsome feller caught my eye. Well a couple days after I was speaking to my Bro (who goes to that ward) and I was telling him about the handsome feller and he was wondering who it was, and also mentioned that there was someone there that he thought of setting me up with. Well with the works of facebook we found him and guess what.....he was my handsome feller ha ha. Ok so besides th...
