well, hello fabulous readers of
sweet southern wife!
i'm Lauren, LO, crazy cat lady, call
me what you like....i blog over at The LO Down!
crazy cat lady? how'd that get in
there?
oh, that
might be just why. i insist on dressing my furbabies up for Christmas cards
every year.
so, the other day, i was going about
my normal blog business, you know, log on, catch up on all the new posts in the
blogfeed (does anyone else use that word?), then comments, post my own story
and check my mail. i saw i got a reply from a comment i posted on Jennifer's
blog, and then she asked me to guest post for her! i was totally thrilled. me,
a guest post?
i mean, that is some serious
business right there! of course i said yes...!
after i emailed Jennifer back, how
do you suppose my reaction was to this great news?
(this is a
quiz by the way)
B. i
attempted the Steve Urkel dance
C. i
danced the Carlton dance
D.
chanted, Ren & Stimpy's - happy happy, joy joy
have your
answer ready? well, you'll just have to read on to find out!
so as i mentioned above, my name is
Lauren. i am a late-20's hate hard working, jersey girl. clearly
you noticed my not-so-obvious strikeout on the word "hate". yes it's
true, i hate working (but really, who doesn't?) well, i should probably
rephrase that. i hate GOING to work, but once i'm there i'm okay. you see, i
drive 120 miles round trip on a daily basis to get to and from work. it's no
walk on the beach. so clearly, i have many interesting drives that i just love
to blog about. like the time i was so annoyed i almost made these rules for driving in new jersey into a bill to drop in the hopper at the NJ State Capitol.
alright, that's a little extreme,
but a i blogged about it? so, that's pretty close, and i'm sure people are
following those rules now....right?
...maybe not.
so a few things about me, and my
blog.
- i'm pretty much a scatterbrain. ha, that actually used to be
my blog title, but i'm known for being very finnicky and i change my space
around, a LOT. i can finally say i found my little niche with The LO Down. but
don't be surprised the next time you visit me i have new colors :) i average
every 3-5 months on a new theme on the blog.
- i am extremely obsessed with my cats, Peanut & Linus.
they are the most curious little creatures, and i'm so lucky to have them in my
home and my heart.
- i tend to be on the bit grouchy side, but it makes for some
good laughs (for you, not me.) :)
- i rely on picmonkey to make my photos look really
professional.
- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
- serious people are too much for me.
- i'm just looking for a fun time and blogger helps me expand
my creativity. don't get me wrong, i love the cute little notebook, but is much
more thrilling finding cute pics, and fonts to go along with your thoughts for
the day. i can't imagine doing this in a real notebook, scotch taping up photos
and sayings
- if you don't know the movies Weekend at Bernie's or Don't
Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, there's a good chance we may not be friends :D
- i am married to the most caring, lovable, handsome man on
the planet. one of these days i'll be posting a whole story on how we came to
be Mr. & Mrs.
- and long story short, i'm sexy and i know it.
if you've made it this far, i congratulate
you...i know i can ramble a lot.
so, have i enticed you to come by to my blog? i hope so.
a big THANKS to Jennifer for hosting me today!!
see you soon :)
P.S. the answer is C. The Carlton
Dance. i'm seriously good at it!
