Isabel Stare-a-thon: Thoroughness

November 30, 2011November 30, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Hello People of the interwebs!

Today is a very special day, not only is it a day I should have not come into work. But, also the 10th day of the stare-a-thon!

I would like to take this time to thank Starers for joining in the most wonderful time of the year! Also to celebrate their thoroughness in staring… like taking time off of work to stare, adding the stare-a-thon app to your personal internetting devices, buying a good sturdy periscope, and lurking about Isabel in the shadows as to not interfere with her schedule.

Also I would like to thank Evan of Sandyville, Ohio a mild mannered taco artist at for being so dedicated to the cause:

His other art must beside curating Mexican foods must be staring

Isabel Stare-a-thon 2011: Now Compatible with Sweden!

November 29, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Hi Everyone!

Because we are in the thick of the Isabel Stare-A-Thon 2011. You may find yourself far from Isabel, and you may need to get the appropriate equipment.

If you are in Sweden for example, and you reach the terrifying conclusion that you haven’t seen enough live Isabel to fill your quota. You should grab a friendly scientist and with a simple use of triangulation, a graphic calculator, and some conic thingy you can find the perfect angle to see Isabel -9 hours from you! Plus now you have a new science friend that you can share the stare-a-thon with!

Fun fact: Seeing Isabel when you are in Sweden is just like looking into the past, but not!

It’s Monday and I’m “Naturally Disappointed”

November 28, 2011November 28, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Happy Monday to all of you, after this long and most delicious weekend!

Most people like me are now settling back into their cubicles thinking why can’t I be frolicking around town whilst doing practically nothing yet be making money like some Kardashian. Some of you may be saying, “why isn’t my photoshop working? Doesn’t my computer know how important it is during the Isabel Stare-a-thon?” Seriously and more specifically I wish my photoshop were working.

But not specifically, I can’t be the only one who feels like this:

I am the most naturally disappointed right now.

Isabel Stare-a-thon 2011: It Begins

November 20, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Good Evening Fine people of the interwebs,

I have the best of news to report…That beautiful, and magical time of year is back! So get out your eyedrops and dust off your binoculars because…

it is finally time to start staring at Isabel for 30 days and nights!

I started off the stare-a-thon in the best way possible, by staring at Isabel in person this very morning. It put me right in the spirit of getting this Stare-a-thon in action! So after consulting the council of starers we created the new theme for this particular stare-a-thon:

Remember until December 20th and Canadian Boxing Day… all I’s are to be on Isabel!

Friday I’m in love… with Chicken

November 18, 2011November 18, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Happy Friday Internet!

I know that I like to make constant references to the Cure in both speech and doodle.

And that I constantly mention/ eat/ doodle chicken.

And I wonder how can I combine both to make the best thing ever? Do I eat crispy golden chicken while listening to “Just like Heaven”? Or can I do more with two of my favorite things.

So much like bacon wrapped shrimp, I have made them into a special and delicious combination in today’s doodle:

And that is the way I like it.

♥Lauren

Computer Update:

My computer is still not properly functioning. And I have so many silly deadlines… I feel like I will never get the chance to fix my improperly working Photoshop. I will try sometime soon.

26 Years of Lauren

November 17, 2011 | 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!

I’m just here for the fun

October 10, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Historically, Lauren’s aren’t into doing things that they don’t like even though they have a hard time saying no.

Much like Cyndi Lauper’s song about the ladies… this Lauren just wants to have fun:

So I’m going to go have fun… and more so, I’m done with not having fun when I want to appease others.

And well this historic Lauren can tell you the rest:

Lauren out.

Professional Quote of the Day: October 5th

October 5, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

Today’s PQOTD came in just under the wire. This little nugget of joy was created on a phone conversation like 10 minutes ago…

Sometimes speed is important to the life of a professional, as demonstrated in the quote below:

Basically, upload speed fast-ness is like the Indianapolis 500 to a professional. And professionals have a need for speed.

And not like a Charlie Sheen need for speed, if you know what I mean.

That is one Provocative Cactus

September 30, 2011September 30, 2011 | Viciously Sweet

In a series of stories that intersected like mad yesterday. The Dab and I came up with a brilliant new character in my doodle universe…

Yes, a cactus that is far more provocative than any other cacti. Picture it, she has beautiful long luscious eyelashes, succulent red lips (oh the pun), and well for lack of a better term the most provocative cactus-wear you have ever laid your eyes on:
