Happy Best Friend Day!

| Viciously Sweet

Today I found out possibly one of the best things ever. It is Best Friends Day!

A special day created just to celebrate the awesomeness of your bestie! Now, I am a lucky girl because I have tons of super best friends… and well some so-so acquaintances (but today isn’t about them!) … and TWO fantastic best friends!

And since today is about the creme de la creme of friendship, I would like to thank them for participating in 11 years of good times with me.

This has included (but is not limited to) countless trips to Disneyland, sitting in the big booth at BJ’s, weeks straight of giggling (cumulative), being banned from DJ Pizza Lunches, creepy/weird teachers, concerts that were awesome, being attacked by kittens while sleeping,  4 years of Catholic school uniforms, taking photos with strangers, watching the entire first season of Jem to see 1 scene, buying promise headbands, and One scary movie night (which is not necessarily the night that we watched ‘Centerstage” after grad-night.)

Without you two my three-ring circus would just be one ringed, I would be the lone musketeer, the last of the blind mice, that one really bored Bronte sister.

 

Weird and wonderful things come in three’s, don’t they?

Anger in the Afternoon.

| Viciously Sweet

I am the kind of girl who hates to share her feelings. Really do, true story.

I do share my feelings through doodles. Usually my doodles can help me say the things I really don’t want to say in real. Like votre petite amie a une moustache et elle a la personnalité d’un sac barf.

…But I don’t really say them with words.

I think I need to go away from here… before I go crazy in the face.

Also look at this, it makes me laugh:

Thank you to whoever drew this, I feel like him around the moments of 1:08 to 1:12

Friday I’m in love… with Chicken

| 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.

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

| 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!

Things That I broke: My Computer

| Viciously Sweet

Okay so someone out there gave my computer a horrible horrible virus. And my photoshop is not working. What that means is… I am stuck until my computer is fully healthy.
But next week there will be the return of the Isabel Stare-a-thon, and more doodles and professionals for all.
I will probably make another post today as it is my totally awesome 26th year on on this earth.

Please enjoy this picture of Julius Caesar until I get my stuff together:

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!

♫Lauren, The Queen of Churros

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?
