26 Years of Lauren

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!

The Most Professional Day of the Year

Today there will be no professional quote. There is another type of professional celebration happening.

29 luscious years ago, the world was given the most professional gift, a little baby that would soon become… PROFESSIONAL ERIC. Since then Eric has created numerous excel spread sheets, vector lines and inspired some very awesome Professional artwork.
Today he is spreading professional joy to the world, with his #1 lady friend:

Today create an Excel Spread Sheet in his honor.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC.

Happy Birthday to the DAB!

I am not usually this brave…
But I have been photoshopping Dab as he sits right next to me.
And I believe he has NO IDEA of this!
I am of course celebrating the fact that tomorrow is his glorious 26th brithday!
And I am celebrating this with album covers the Dab has posed for without his knowledge…mostly because Eric is always carrying a camera…

1. Spicy Beach Dab… This happened when the Dab and Eric were having spicy beach adventures…

2. Spicy Accordian Dab… for only Eric.

This actually happens every week... I think wednesdays...

3. Weird firefighter Dab? I actually have no idea about those weird freaky tubes are… I am just going to assume some sort of technology

4. Reclining Dab… with reclining action, this picture was obviously taken… at the house of the golden girls.

5. Plunging neckline Dab… I have no idea when this was taken, I am going to assume on Gaston appreciation day….

Happy Birthday Dab!
Don’t worry I’ll photoshop Eric next. I have permission :)

18. She is the best finder of people on the interwebs… If you know a person…or even a vague description of said person… Christine can find them.

23. She makes artisan bread in her spare time shaped like nautical animals.
24. She has a sewing machine… but has never made me a sock puppet (I’m just saying.)
25. She unlike Isabel does watch 30 Rock (This makes Christine like beyond awesome, which is better than her regular standard awesome)
26. Right now she is probably thinking to herself… maybe I should not have sat in the seat next to the weird girl in Spanish 102… (But really, was anybody interesting in that class besides me?)
Que eres la peces de mi corazón.
Happy Birthday Christine:

Happy Birthday Billy Corgan

Today Jimmy told me that it’s Billy Corgan’s birthday. And since he is like my favorite tall, white pasty, and bald musician… I would love to celebrate it!

Despite all his rage he still will totally age.

Happy Birthday to Zach Braff and other issues

Today is Zach Braff’s birthday. I hope he has a one of those super days.

I would usually make this just a short post… but when things come to people like Tina Fey and Zach Braff I feel like elaborating on things because they are people I feel an affinity for.
Zach Braff is a really cute, and pretty funny guy. He also had admitted on several occasions and the entire movie “Garden State” that he suffers from depression. I have always thought that this was incredibly fascinating, and the older I get I realize some of the funniest people are the most susceptible to these kinds of issues.
And I actually use “Garden State” as a reference for that kind of sadness.

Me: How are you?

Other person: I’m ehhh.

Me: Are you feeling like Zach Braff in “Garden State?”

Other person: “For months now.”

Me: “Oh my gosh. Really? Like seriously? I think you should do something about that.”

I actually myself fluctuate to this feeling and sometimes it stays for a while. Right now as Sam tells Largeman, I am in it.

But, its not really because of depression. I don’t precisely think, its because I have come to an age where… I think I know what I want, and have no real way of getting it. Well, complete humiliation is probably going to be the out come. I just hope it doesn’t come to that.

Happy Birthday Christine & Isabel!

I’m a lucky girl because today is the communal birthday of two of the best people ever!!!

Happy Birthday Isabel & Christine!

I forget which one of you is older so I shall post both birthday wishes for both of you at once. With a slight birthday forecast:

Christine’s 25 birthday celebration will begin in Pasadena in the crisp cool morning, in the afternoon there is a 74% chance of it involving soda and dip mix. It will end with a drunken affair with her truest and most Canadian celebrity love….Dave Foley:

Isabel’s 25th birthday will involve sciency things as well as dodging a kitten. She will find herself in the afternoon searching for the perfect suit and scarf combination and will end her evening like this:

Happy Birthday Ladies!!!
