A jumbled mess of commentary

I have a bunch of things to say and they do not necessarily fit together neatly in any way, shape, or form, but if you know me at all this will not surprise you and as you read on you will slightly turn your head off to one side as you smile just a little bit and think to yourself...that's my Lauren.

• I am doing really WELL in my Chemistry class and the Lab. Really well!
• I went to a baby shower on Sunday and saw a lot of people I haven't seen in YEARS and it was a blast. I think I am still slightly in my sugar coma (but it was totally worth it).
• I am doing very poorly at my Marathon preparation...but when I think about running it in February, I always imagine myself crossing the finish line and mental imagery is 99% of it. It's true, I googled it.
• I watch entirely too much TV, like to the point that I need to cut hours of it out of my life. What's more important, watching actors getting paid exorbitantly to act out lives that real people do not have (except Amazing Race and Top Chef - new season starts tomorrow!) OR living my own life, no matter how mundane and/or lively it is?
• I can't wait to start REALLY redoing my mom's house. She has turned the corner and decided she wants to do it...now just what do we do first?!
• I hate hearing other people's cell phones ringing in the office...Seriously, you can't just put that thing on vibrate and lay it on your desk? Instead, everyone has to listen to the theme song for The Little Mermaid everytime the IT Manager's Verizon phone rings. Dude, I know that you're a Dad, but The Little Mermaid song???
• My goal is to reach the 200 song limit on this player I have set up on my blog so that I can listen to them every day, all day long while I work - for free.
• The holidays are here and I am SO excited. I am going to try to perfect some new homemade gift recipes this year. I love to bake for the ones I love!
• I am not ashamed to say that I didn't vote for Obama, because I didn't...besides, I love an underdog...but it is now time to get to the task of praying for him and Congress and the Senate to make godly decisions for this nation. We are still ONE NATION under GOD. Do you think once he knew he won the election that any point in time he said to himself..."Wow, I won...now what?"

Peace, love, and chicken and grease
