Life Plan...
So, Barb's right (again). I need to scratch the life plan bullshit. It's really not my style, I don't even know what my plans are for today! I had a horrible migraine again last night (that's number two this month). I seriously need to figure out what I can do about these. I was going to go to the cities today, but I haven't heard from Kris yet, so I think I'm stuck in EC. I am probably going to just go see Nanny McPhee with Krissy and Wyllow. It should be fun, assuming Wyllow does ok in her underwear through the movie!

I joined MySpace and I have no friends :( So if you have an account you should be my friend :)
Today it is cold and rainy, and I am reminded of Seattle. I miss it there and I think I need to go back, soon like! If only my single income could afford me an apartment there...

I am also currently trying to figure out how to April fools my dad. I think after multiple jokes about my disfunctional windshield wiper abilities I need to get him back! Did I tell you about my windshield wiper handicap? I don't think I did. My windshield wipers are the STUPIDEST windshield wipers ever! The design is absolutely ridiculous and I don't think I will ever really understand how to function them. But, seriously, if you're considering buying a new car, check out the windshield wipers first! They're something you will have to use and live with (like a guy) for a long time!

Anyhoo... happy April Fools Day!

Time....
So, I have a proposed question for all of my blog commentors (ers?). I am trying to conclude wether men are a complete waste of time, or if dating men is a complete waste of time. This may sound like an odd question, but I have recently come to believe that men are a complete waste of time. But, in saying that, I totally understand that there are some great men out there (mostly your boyfriends or husbands) who are all taken. It just seems as thought, decent, moral, smart, honest men don't exist in the single world. They're all gone, you all took them. But, at least it has only taken me until 22 to realize that I don't want to date the stupid, dishonest, usually unemployed men that I have such a nack for finding. (Dad will be happy about that one).

On another note, I am hmmmmm... okay today. (besides the finding out yet another guy is a sleezy waste of time). I only have six weeks left of school which makes me incredibly joyous (pass or fail). And I am currently trying to forman a life plan. One that takes me out of Eau Claire at the speed of light. (Not that I don't have friends and family I would miss dearly).

Wait... let me topic search so I can find something good to write about.

Spring Break???
So, my "Spring Break" officially starts tomorrow! I am very psyched, however, my professors gave me so much homework it won't really be a break at all! So, I have no plans and I wish I was going somewhere very warm and secluded!
St. Patrick's day was great! I drank way too much green beer (which surprisingly enough does not turn your pee green)! We went to the Wigwam and only witnessed one fight. Saturday we went to Black River for mom's birthday. She did well as always, we lost!
Today I had an incredibly lazy day. That is the extent of my thrilling life right now.

Weapon of Choice....

I have been sitting around staring aimlessly at Chemistry for a couple hours now. WOW! I am still at the same point I was two hours ago. I have been recently distracted by the thought of shooting myself in the foot. I mean, do you think that would be more painful than organic chemistry? Too bad, no guns. So, then I got to the thought of causing pain to other people, like the people who invented organic chemistry (and a few others of course). But, I don't know where the line is drawn about talking about hurting people online, so I better switch topics.

How about... the weather.
The weather is a peculiar thing. It is warm and cold and cold and cold and it just isn't getting warm anymore. Oh, I know what I can talk about. I can tell my funny birthday bar story :)

It is a story about a girl and a boy. The girl thinks the boy is cute. The girl anonymously sends the boy a shot at the bar. A different girl, let's call her, butthead. Ok, butthead took credit for buying the cute boy the shot. Now the nice cute wonderful girl has no shot in hell with the cute boy. Good story huh?

Happy March!

I have been ordered to blog! The problem being I don't really have a whole lot to update everyone on. School is going well, despite my exam grades... I guess the only semi-exciting event coming up is my birthday. On Friday night Krissy and Em through me a birthday bash. It was great, except my migraine :)

Happy Day...
It has been a pretty good weekend. Friday night I went out with Krissy. We had an excellent time. My good friend Emily is finally home from Grad School Auditions in Chicago. She got a few callbacks, one even from UW-Madison! So, she could be staying close :) Last night Krissy and I watched 3 discs of Nip Tuck. We only have one disc left in the second season, then we will have to find a new show to watch. It is a great show, very emotional and edgy. Today I went to Walmart to buy groceries and spent WAY too much money. Then I went to the Y. I needed a little release of endorphins after studying o-chem for like two hours this morning. So, I need to get back to studying, I just didn't want to be a NON POSTER like Raab. Have a great week everyone!

Jeep no more...
It has been a very sad week in my life. I am sad to say the Jeep is no more. On Monday, January 30, at approximately 8:45pm I said goodbye to my baby. I will probably never love another car as much as I loved that Jeep (or maybe I will, I recall I have said that same statement about men before, and I was wrong!). Here is the end...

But, with every end comes a new beginning. As comes my 32 miles to the gallon. Here are some specs on my new Saturn...

L200, 4 Cylinders, Automatic, CD Player, 38000 miles.

The Saturn has proven itself in the last week, though I am not appreciating not having the remote start! It is a fun car to drive and has awesome traction control. So, I move on in life, in yet another aspect. Soon, my marriage and the things that came with it will all be distant thoughts (not a constant daily reminder). I hope everyone will come soon to check out the new car... the only problem being, I had to leave my bumper stickers! If you see anything that makes you think of me grab it!

Gone

I just read Barb's post on Granny Mary. It got me thinking of many things and people I have lost. There are so many people that enter our lives (wether through circumstance or family), they often go unnoticed, but if they touch our lives. If they are truly extroidanary we will never forget them. The comfort is in remembering the times spent together or the amazing conversations. This reminds me of this great quote...

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today,
life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
I've learned that
you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles
these three things:
A rainy day,
Lost luggage, and
Tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents,
you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a
life.
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt
on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I
usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and
touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a
friendly pat on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did, but people will
never forget how you made them feel."
-Maya Angelou

I hope this can impact you as much as it did me... Have a great week everyone!

Valentines day... What a great holiday! I hope you can all sense the sarcasm in that statement. It is only January 23 and I am already surrounded by hearts, candy, flowers, and the word love everywhere I go. This SUCKS! Now, I could be one of those people that talks about how stupid V-day is and how the holiday should not exist. But, that would be a lie. I mean, not the stupid part, it is stupid, but it should exist. It is another day for men to buy their beloved women candy and flowers. What could be bad about that? Well, I will tell you what is bad about that. Being me, being the single independent woman I am. I will not be receiving these things, no flowers, no candy, not even a little card like I would get if I was in grade school. So, like always, I have decided I need a solution to this problem... here is what I have come up with.

1. Buy myself candy and flowers.
2. Try to find a man who would want to buy me candy and flowers (in like 2 weeks, not gonna happen)
3. Complain enough to get a friend to send me flowers and candy (I would then feel as pathetic as I do now)
4. Pretend I HATE V-day, hearts, candy, and flowers. (I am usually pretty good at being negative!)



On a sidenote, there are little "Hello from Picasa" pink hearts that fall from the left side of the screen every time I post. I am going to stop babbling on my blog now.... Have a great night!

:) 

Oops... I can't even flip the picture.... There we go! This is Em helping me to figure out my new chemistry molecule models. They won't even go together right! WTF! This sucks. We're going to finish off the depression now and head out to Walmart.  

You may be asking yourself, "But, Laura, this is so page-turning.... what are you doing now???" This is what I am doing now... 

Well... I just realized I have been totally detached from my beloved blog! "What ever have I been doing with my time?" (you are probably asking). I was in San Diego for a week. We went to Hollywood and Las Vegas. It was a well-deserved vacation and I was so excited to spend it with Rob (the part that it was warm and sunny didn't hurt either). So, then I got home... and got sick! I had a great "migraine" episode on Tuesday. This lead to the urgent care and ultimately "pepporoni pizza" vomit. Then I felt better and I got the flu. This lead to "chinese" vomit. Wow, what an excellent New Years this is turning out to be. I am sooooo glad I got the flu shot! 

This was my very happy New Year with my best friends! 

I went again tonight to look at my car with mom and dad. It went well. Dad thinks I should go for it. Now I just have to get my credit approved. I am looking at a Saturn 02' L200. It is a nice car and I think I can grow to like it. Saturday morning I leave for San Diego. A week in the sun will be enjoyed much. That's all for now. 

New Years Eve was great. My friend Kris came down from the cities to see me. We went out for awhile. Flavia and Matt also came out with us! I was so lucky to spend the night with great friends.
