Life of Lauren

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.

Ok, so I am unemployed, living at home, and have bills, some of them are nasty. This last summer, I kept having pain in my stomachle area for a few terrible days. I decided to go to the Dr. Well they pushed and pocked and kept asking me if I've had sex and could possibly be pregnant. I didn't get my usual physician, if I had I may have not gone through all that I did and he would have never thought I would be pregnant. Dr. Swany (Swanson) and I are like this (I'm crossing my fingers). I had an x-ray an ultra sound, and then they poked and pushed some more. They found nothing and I went home that day with the instructions that I should take some aleve and pepto(pepto if needed). Ends up that I was just having a side effect too some medication I had began retaking. Well a few months had past and my medical bill rolled in. It rolled right in when I lost my job. I had to make calls fill out forms and such because my health insurance wasn't going to do anything about this o...

There are a lot of firsts in our life that people make big deals out of. First step, first time saying mama or papa, first date, first dance, first kiss. I have recently had some new firsty's . I should just let you all guess just what they are, but I am a softy and occasional blabber mouth. I could even just blabber about nonsense and not tell you at all, except to some they aren't really big deals so I will tell. First of all my lips are still taint free as ever, unless I decide to go all crazy during the New Years if Bash (if i go) and just randomly smooch on a guy. That is really less likely to happen, so no worries please. Back my Firsts. A few weeks ago I went out with a few friends. We were going to go to the Sub meet up with some people and play some pool. Before pool a friend and I really wanted to check out a YSA activity. It sounded decent, they were going to have the BSU game projected off the side of the barn, have a fire pit , chili cook off , and of course a dan...

Yes, yes. When do I not have a problem? Ha ha. Well this past month or so has been kind of a toughy being unemployed and all, but I think I'm figuring things out. That is not my problem. My problem is people who are overly concerned, when they like to cling to you at the hip. When they don't believe you the first time you say you're fine. Well it's partially my fault, you see sometimes I tend to open up to some I shouldn't, but the thing is I tend to open up to A LOT of different people for different reasons. It's like a bounding moment, which sometimes helps both sides, which I don't regret. Overly concerned people drive me crazy. In a way there over concern drives me away from them. They want to talk about my life, I don't. If I want to talk then I'll talk. I don't want to talk because the subjects are things I don't want dwelling in my mind, if that makes sense. I probably sound like a jerk right now, but then again I'm a little blun...

Have you ever had a really good dream and wish you could dream it over and over again? Or have you ever had a dream and just when it is about to get to the best part your alarm clock starts beeping? Well the second one is what happened to me last night or rather this morning at 5:45 am. I do not normally get up at 5:45 in the morning everyday; just Wednesdays. Wednesdays are Lauren's Temple day. At least it has been for the past 3 weeks, but enough said back to the dream. Dream: My clothes were getting destroyed one by one, I still didn't have a job and needed/wanted some new clothes. Lucky for me my Grandma was in town, and Grandma always has a few greens in her pocket. So a few days or week has past and I find myself back at BYU Idaho in the Benson building. I bumped into my old Professors and got back the job that I had before I graduated. I think a lab assistant has been my favorite job so far, but I still have a long life to live. Anyways I was labeling plants for a class ...

Dear Friends, so about a couple weeks ago I told you all that I had a new job and that I'd update you on it. Well I was a week into it and the job I thought I wanted wasn't for me. Last week my employer set me aside along with everyone else that day and asked me how I felt. I told them because "I must not tell lies," (harry potter oh yeah). I told them I liked the hours having the weekends off the experience but that the job wasn't for me. I am not a desk girl and well I should have already figured that out but I hadn't. Now I know, I took a risk, but now I know. Right now I am unemployed and yeah it scares me, sometimes I start to feel a little insecure, but I am blessed to be living at home and to have some money saved up. I am blessed to have the gospel and a Heavenly Father who watches over me. I know this is going to be a hard time. I had to unexpected bills pop up in the week so yeah it's going to be hard. I am going to get through this I am going to...
