I woke up to snow this morning.
Good job, March. Well-played, Oregon.
Clearly, neither of you have any concept of time or seasons.
Not complaining too much though. The Californian in me still gets a secret (not-so-secret) thrill of a world turned white.
Plus, it was melted and gone by about noon.
Anyway, found this little gem on Megan's blog. Totally poaching it. Try and stop me.
-
Age: 25
Bedsize: Full. I need a queen (Blake, you better be laughing right about now). Any upgrade at all really because the $99 post-grad-budget mattress is playing a nightly game of "How Deeply Rooted Can I Get This Bedspring In Lauren's Back By Morning?" (guess who's winning).
Chores that you hate: Cleaning up the kitchen. Which is why I prefer to cook at Jared's because he actually gets snappy at me if I try to clean up after cooking. Ok, fine, whatever you say, I'll sit and have another glass of wine.
Dogs: I had a sweet chocolate lab growing up. We had the same color hair. We were obviously related.
Essential start to your day: Sleeping (I agree with you Megan). Oh, and three or four cups of coffee or tea.
Favorite color: Green. And the neutrals (white, grey, beige - can we think of a better word for beige?).
Gold or Silver: Both. I can never decide so I always mix metals.
Height: 5'7"
Instruments you play: Men's hearts (HA - I jest)
Job title: Guest Services Representative (unpaid titles: writer, photographer, cooker, wine drinker, cheese eater, mess maker, stair tripper, toe stubber, fire starter - ok, not really on that last one, but I did fill Dean & Robin's apartment with smoke when the grease from my meatloaf cupcakes spilled over in the oven)
Kids: Someday, but for now I gots the cutest borrowed niece and nephews a girl could ask for.
Live: Portland, Oregon (past homes: Napa, California; Malibu, California; London, England)
Mother's Name: Susan
Nicknames: Lairen, Lahren, Lahren Froon, Laur, Laurette, Munch (mom), Boo (dad)
Overnight hospital stays: How about the ER 3 times in 2 weeks? Cumulatively, I think that counts.
Pet peeves: Passive aggressiveness, grammatical errors, general human stupidity, cruel people, bigotry, people who just try way too hard to validate their existence
Quote from a movie or tv show: "The whole purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability whatsoever to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who don't know what the hell they're doing or who on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self: Tall! Decaf! Cappuccino!" -Joe Fox, You've Got Mail (wow, $2.95 - this movie is definitely 14 years old)
Right or Lefty: Righty tighty (there's probably a really inappropriate joke that could be made here)
Siblings: Only child. But that's ok... We've remedied that.
Time you wake up: On work days, 8am. On Sundays, 6:30am. Off days, I just try to get up before the clock reaches double digits.
Underwear: I'll never tell.
Vegetable you hate: None. I'll eat anything (more inappropriate joking).
What makes you run late: Blogger.
X-Rays You've Had: Teeth. Ankle (don't worry, it was only a sprain after all).
Yummy food you make: Not to toot my own horn, horn tooter that I am, but all of it. Dakota's friend Erik once told me I was "a goddess in the kitchen". And I've yet to hear any complaints. I'm pretty happy about that.
Zoo Animal: Fennec fox. Because they are so cute running around their little habitat with their gigantic ears.
A: I just love you.
ReplyDeleteB: Does baby corn count as a vegetable? Because if it does, I HATE IT!!
This was fun to read! And what in the world did you do to yourself to go to the ER so much?
