Sock it to me!

Good morning, blog!

It’s been forever since I’ve written anything about my life on you lately…sorry. You should know this now- I suck at keeping you updated. It’s like my Journal, and I sincerely apologize, right now, to all my future generations that look back and wonder why their ancestor was so terrible at keeping a log on my life (please don’t step on my grave!). I assure you, I will be better. Let’s see- for those of you that have followed, or have cyber stalked me, what can I tell you on what has happened in my life? Hmmm….

The best news I can think of right now that you yet to learn about, is Jeremy. He is my tall, handsome, blue-eyed boyfriend. Every day I sit back for just a moment to think about how lucky I am and every day he does something or says something that makes me just love and adore him more. Every time I’m with him, I have so much fun, and enjoy his humor. I want to do everything I can to see him as often as I can, even though we had pretty conflicting schedules for a few months, and even now. I miss him lots, and wish I lived closer. I am in Pleasant Grove and he is in the distant land of…Mapleton. Okay, so it’s not THAT distant, but sometimes he feels so far away. He’s amazing, and I’m so lucky to be with him and have him in my life. I know how desired he is, even to married women (which, by the way, I am willing to fight them off, but he may have to see them again, and I would hate to be the snotty girlfriend, so I’m nice. Sheesh, I’m ALWAYS nice, dangit!!!). We’ve been together about two months, and I’ve had the time of my life! I even watch scary movies now. J

I was in a show!! I got up the guts to audition for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” at the Scera Shell, this summer. Best. Summer. EVER! I met so many good, and bad people, so I made friends with the good, and learned valuable lessons from the bad. I was so shocked by some of the bad behavior of some of the people in our cast, that now, when I think back to it, I almost want to find them on facebook and tell them how disappointed I am. There was one jerk that knew I was dating Jeremy (Did I mention that Jeremy directed “Joseph”? Well…he did.), and would try to hold my hand, one night, he kissed me, and would feel me up backstage. OH! Did I also mention that he was dating a girl in the cast? That’s right, he is a skeezy little pervert! Don’t you worry though, he knows how I feel about him. There was one night, I yelled at him after he had kissed me, and told him that it truly was no wonder why his girlfriend was ready to dump him, because he truly was a loser, and I also got a punch in. I nailed him in the jaw and right underneath his shoulder. I was trying so hard to be good and not cause drama, but I couldn’t let him do those things to me. I hate it, HATE IT, when guys take advantage of me because I’m small and have little muscle, making it harder to defend myself. Word to the wise though, I can punch pretty hard! Ask the pervert. Sister Lauren’s got dynamite up her sleeve!

I am officially one semester away from my Applied Science, with a focus in Business, Degree. I never thought that I would ever be able to get a degree in anything! My hate for school runs so deep, it’s hard for me to sit in any class and appreciate that I am furthering my education. Blarg.

I got into my first car accident yesterday. It wasn’t my fault, but my car is still wrecked. Also, if my car had been one year older then it is right now, they would have considered it totaled and refuse to fix it. God bless my little 2001 Toyota Corolla. I plan on driving that thing until it dies completely. It’s been such a good little car, with awesome gas mileage, and I’m even able to fix some of the belts on my own and change the oil (um…I guess this is where I thank my teacher of my Auto Fundamentals class at MATC for dragging me to class…. Thank you Mr. Burton!). Essentially, the dude in front of me, got off the freeway and hit a stray tire in the road, but slammed on his breaks so hard his car started to spin, and when I hit my breaks to try to get out of the way of his spinning car, I started spinning out of control as well, and smashed into the cement barrier with the front of my car. Honestly, I’m lucky I didn’t get hurt at all. Counting my blessings, counting my blessings. I was really depressed when I found that it would cost me five hundred dollars to pay the deductible to get it fixed, though. I can think of some events in the near future that I could have used that five hundred on, but eh…that’s life. Moving on.

I now work mornings at Old Navy, yippee!!!! I can’t tell you how annoyed I am with that job. My boss is an ignorant, ill mannered, childlike, idiot. Now, you may think that’s pretty harsh, but believe me, it’s a superior description. He is uninformed and quite frankly, unfit for the position he holds. He cries whenever he’s tired and always wants to discuss his marital problems with his employees. Now, for a year, I did my best to put up with it, only because he offered me a management position, with the terms that I would stay for an entire year and learn the ropes. Well, here, it’s been a year, and where am I? The same place I started, and he retracted his promise, only because our store has been remodeled and there are many managers in Utah that are transferring to our store because they want to work in a remolded store. I tried to transfer out of that store to another, but my boss refuses to sign the transfer papers, because my numbers are so good, if he lost me, heaven forbid, he would actually have to work. I became so sick of it, I transferred to the morning team, where I wouldn’t have to deal with him, or another certain manager, because of their immature behavior. I know that I left them in a bind, but they had it comin’. Suck on that (Insert evil laughter)!

Whew, well…I think that’s about it. It’s been raining outside, and I’m yearning to go outside and read a book. Any book. Maybe, I’ll dig through my basement and find an old book in a box that looks intriguing. Or, maybe I’ll pass out on my bed with a super sized bag of Cheetos and a Dr. Pepper while watching my way through the second season of “Arrested Development”. Either way sounds pretty good right now. Kudos for you for reading through this massive entry. You deserve a pat on the back from me, redeemable at any time.
