Love you all,

Happy Birthday MOM!!!

Hello,

Today was my mom's birthday.. I decided last week sometime that I wanted to cook dinner instead of going out...it just seemed more personal or special..idk. So, I was watching Food Network and Ina Garten was cooking risotto and thought "OMG, this is totally mom! I should cook this for her..lol". I woke up early( Early for me :) ) and started to clean the house. I got ready and then ran errands. I went to Trader Joe's, for sunflowers, and then Target for her Danielle Steel book. I got everything done and was home just in time to beat my mom home and get ready to cook. I can admit that I was a little nervous to make risotto but I was willing to give it a shot. I cooked and this is what the menu consisted of:

-----Saffron, Asparagus, Pancetta Risotto

-----Caprese Salad

-----Sweet Baguette with butter

-----Iced tea

-----Pasta Prego Flour-less Chocolate Cake (With Raspberry sauce)

It all came out surprisingly well and she was extremely proud. I am so lucky to have a wonderful mom and decided that I must start thinking ahead for next year....something that will out-do my dinner this year..She said that "It's going to be so hard to improve/ top this..." I don't know, but I'm sure I'll think of something. ;)

Taylor Swift Concert September 3rd, 2011

Hello loves....It's been waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy tooooo long...sorry I blame school and my laziness.. So, school is going ok. I just want to be done already. I get out May 26th. The weather has been super nice here and trying to work on homework is extremely difficult. I also wanted to tell everyone that I am SUPER EXCITED about seeing Ms. Taylor Swift at Arco Arena in September. I wanted to thank Aunt Mary for getting me my ticket (I REALLY APPRECIATE IT), I will be going with a work friend and another friend from school. I am thinking about possible shirt and signage ideas for the concert(let me know if you have any ideas). I cannot wait!!! Only about 122 days left!!

P.S. All images courtecy of TaylorSwift.com..gallery part of website

I Want To See Taylor Swift!!!!!

Hey everyone!!! It's been a long time. School and work have been going well and I had some time to write a short blog here... I bought Taylor Swift's new cd( of course I had to buy the Target deluxe edition) and love it!! The songs are really good and I noticed that some have a rock- vibe to them. I really want to see her in concert now..lol I would DIE if I could meet her too. I don't know when she is going to tour.. probably not for awhile:( I am worried because the Fearless concert literally sold out in like 10 mins...cross your fingers maybe i'll get a chance to go see her

Until next time:)

Lauren

P.s. I got the Taylor Swift picture from various sites from google:

School is Out for the Summer...

Hello everyone!!!Long time no talk. So I have been busy working at Coach and finishing up my first year as a college student. Everything went well, it was just a big stress ball at the end. I had to do a major paper, a children's book to write, on top of the finals..AUUGHHH!!The grades are still not all posted but I do know that I got an A in Child Family Studies.....cross your fingers and I will keep you posted.... School is out for now so now I can really enjoy some quality friend and family time..

As for work, I worked Memorial weekend and it was very busy. I went out with some of my co-workers on Sunday to Red Hen after work for some grub and drinks.

Well I know that was a short update..kinda tired:( sorry. We will talk later

XOXO

New Room

Hello everyone!!!!!

Here's a sneak peak of my bedding.....

I've missed you..Sorry I have been so busy with work, school, and room decorating. So I painted my room with delicate yellow, got a new bed(thanks Mom ad Dad), and purchased new bedding for my bed. I went with a Martha Stewart bedding and added a very nice memory foam topper to my mattress. I am sleeping really well every night.

Also, I am a new member of Phi Theta Kappa, the honor society at NVC and went to my first meeting today. I am hoping to participate in the Phi Theta Kappa's Relay For Life team in July and other events. I have been doing well in my classes and keeping busy...

Well, hope that you are all doing well,

Lauren

the possibility of it!!!(Kinda dorky I know).LOL Let me know what you think about this little

I will be taking these classes next semester: English, Walking For Fitness, Art History(Ren. to Modern), History( Women in 20th century America), and Child/Family Studies(Children's Literacy Class). So definitely a full load but I'm ready:)

Appreciate what you have this holiday season

Appreciate what you have this holiday season...I know that it is a tough time in the economy..but that is precisely the reason to be

thankful for what you already have. I admit that I have fallen to the usual I WANT I WANT...too several times. But this year is time for

a change ..time to be thankful for what I have not what I want...I am reminded of what I am thankful for while listening to this song.

Take a moment to listen and reflect on your life....

I can't play the video here for copyright reasons and youtube but check it out Darius Rucker- Alright on youtube when you can

IT IS A GREAT SONG!

Until next time!

5AM Flat Tire!!!!

Hey guys really quick.....I just wanted to let you know that I experienced my first flat tire today at 5AM going to swim class out at the college. I didn't realize that it was flat...I was driving and heard some noises but thought that it was just my bag rolling around.....then I smelled burning rubber, and I knew that it had to be the tire...RIGHT? So stupid me, I was worried about getting to class so i continued to drive to the college.....I

was close at that point. I got in the parking lot and looked at my tires and sure enough my right rear tire was flat:( I went down to the pool, called my mom, told my coach, and then called AAA. They came out like 30 minutes later and put the spare on.....I then went to my classes, drove home, then went to a local tire shop to get it fixed..

well busy day...huh?

I have to go and work on my homework before I babysit Angelo......

Talk to you soon,

XOXO

Lauren

P.S This is not a real picture of my car's tire....I got it at:
