26 Years of Lauren

| Viciously Sweet

So I must say that I had a supremely awesome birthday.
Besides the ruin of my most trustworthy computer….
And after 26 awesome years on this planet, I feel that I am extremely lucky person with only a year of awesome ahead of me.

  

And here are some things that I am so going to do this very year:

– Laugh 30% more. Because laughing feels good… But, can the world handle it?
– Take more dancing classes because, I can dance if I want to.
– Learn how to send smoke signals… to Isabel.
– Collect Flags of the world and give them to Christine as Presents.
– Learn the Capitols of all the countries in the world.
– Say “yes” to more things that sound fun.
– Travel more so I can use my cute Pan Am Bag.
– Learn French. So I can travel to Europe and not use my limited and all together rarely used Spanish.
Yeah, I took Spanish in High School because it was easy and I wanted to learn how to say “vest” in Spanish… it’s “chaleco” btw
– Complete my ARE tests. (daunting)
– Find a great assortment of Songs I can put Jimmy’s name into and sing them to Jimmy, when he doesn’t want me to.
– Finish the end of lists better

 

Also this post is a  Thank you to all my friends who make all the times I have the best! And all of the people who come here to look at my doodles and how I make fun of myself and my coworkers!

Churro Queen

| Viciously Sweet

I don’t want to ruin anyone’s dreams here (Sorry, Christine), but there is a new Benevolent Queen of Churro’s in town… and that girl is me.

After very little deliberation my Office decided I shall be the Churro Queen.

I got a beautiful sash, a bouquet of Churros, and all the scholarship money ($.75) associated with the title.

With my victory in mind I release the following statement:
I promise to keep the office of Churro Royalty steadfast and true, and I solemnly vow that no churro will get left behind.

But I would also like to add that I am only the Churro Queen of Glendora… I think Eagle Rock, Pasadena and Duarte have separate and equal Churro Queen Titles. And they are up for grabs… But I will bring it during the Miss Churro Universe circuit, girl.

Have a churro-rific weekend people!

Hall and Oates and Churros

| Viciously Sweet

There is nothing better in an already great day than when you add a churro to it.

I was so excited that Amber went to Costco and presented me with the most delicious churro known to Glendora! I upon making my acceptance speech on having received a delectable delight during work hours proceeded to sing a song to my beautiful dessert:

And just in case you need some help imagining the song, or want to sing to your special churro:

The Most Beloved Printer

| Viciously Sweet

My boss is super in love with the worst printer. It jams, and never prints color drawings correctly. It seriously will never accept that purple exists, ever… But I digress.

But it is the first printer he ever purchased for professional use. And you know how the men folks feel about technology.

His love for the 11 x 17 near my desk is so beautiful I think it should be crafted into a beautiful heart-wrenching novel.

Move over Twilight and all those stories crafted by Nicholas Sparks…

Never was there a love truer, than a man and his inkjet printer.

Samples of Awesome

| Viciously Sweet

Today I couldn’t have been more excited about getting new samples.

The best part of getting a new sample is peeling off all its protective coating. It’s like one of the best things about working in my office. So between all my deadlines I get to experience the shear joy of peeling off stickers!

This is actually the best thing that happened today! Because I’m not playing Call of Duty tonight :)

Things for all the Time: An Inflatable Fiend

| Viciously Sweet

Today I am not near a computer as I traveled up to Montana for non-professional reasons.

So with a little bit of internet magic I bring to you today’s very special edition of things from a Halloween Store I need for all the time.

An 8′ tall inflatable Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from “Ghostbusters”

I had no idea that my life was so incomplete without a blow up version of a thing I loved when I was a kid. I mean, think of all the magic that my life could have been full of. It just makes me want to sit down drink some Ecto Cooler and watch Punky Brewster with the freaking thing.

Anyone got $140 to spare so my dreams can be alive?

Things for All the Time: Fake Birds

| Viciously Sweet

The newest addition to the Canon of things Christine needs for all the time is a beautiful and welcome addition to any home.

FAKE BIRDS.

Firstly, you can put them in your house and make it more exotic.
Secondly, you can reenact your favorite moments from “The Birds.”
And Thirdly, you can use them to make your guests feel incredibly odd.

Guest: “Um is that a Raven in my tea?”
Christine: “Why yes, I think it is.”

Happy Friday!
