Life of Lauren

Alrighty friends well, it has been a very interesting week for me. Tomorrow I have an interview at a Elementary School for a position as a Title 1 Assistant ( I want it real bad!). I'm nervous and emotional and well yikers ha ha. This job I think is so me, (at least I hope it is) a title 1 assistant assists students who are struggling with math, reading, or anything else. I was one of those children so it really hits me because I felt I could have gotten better help. I want to give what I didn't get, what i really needed. So yeah, I am crossing my fingers and praying like crazy:). Saturday I had a blind date. I know, I know I don't do blind dates. I hate them, the ones I've been on where never great I was usually a last minute filler. In fact my first date was a blind, and there wasn't a second... at least with that individual. So I had a friend who really wanted to set me up with this guy and I trust her so I said OK . Well my work schedule wasn't working out...

OK Friends, so I know on my last Blog Taking the Leap I said I was going to quit in maybe 2 weeks on my job. Well there has been some current events that may postpone my plan. So yeah, I will keep you up to date.

Hello friends! It has been awhile since I have been in the Blogger life, but rest be assured for all you curious ones I am back, alive, and well. So last week I went to Lake Tahoe on a family reunion which was awesome and I'm sad that it was so short. While on my vacation I got a call about a job, which is great. Problem is they wanted me to start that week and I couldn't leave my previous job without giving them notice. I've been working with a temp agency and whenever they call I can't take the job so I was talking with my mother and she kind of told me I needed to maybe go on with Blind Faith. Friends I am such a chicken, I am at times so undeceive about things which means sometimes I never move forward, and I know I have talked a lot about moving forward. ‘The trouble with you is you want to see the end from the beginning.’ I replied that I would like to see at least a step or two ahead. Then came the lesson of a lifetime: ‘You must learn to walk to the edge o...

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...

Yes this post is a little earlier than usual but I've had a lot on my mind. This next week I am teaching a lesson and in that lesson we are bringing out the Pursuit of Excellence manual back into action. We have been trying hard to get the sister's in my ward to be more goal oriented and driven. We started off with the new year talking about goals we as sisters can do, such as going to the temple, doing a service project, helping out at the cannery, and doing our visiting teaching. My lesson will be like a check point to see how everyone is with there goals. The check point is really what I need because I haven't even written down my goals. They just kind of float around in my head. I can be so indecisive . I have ideas of goals in my head but I hate writing them down and getting disappointed when the year is over because I lot of times I don't know how to follow through with my ideas so I never write them down and they never happen. Sad I know. I've decided that...

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 ...

Hey friends! So here is the first chapter of some of my free lance writing. I tried to do paragraphs and I did space it all out but it messed up and I apologize. Fill free to comment, and honesty is the best policy.
