A Letter

To Whom It May Concern:

I would really like Utah weather to pick a type of weather. In the space of a eight minute walk to work I experienced rain, sleet, and snow. This is not normal. You either rain or you snow. You do not do both. It is unethical.

I like chocolate.

I am a procrastinator.

I hate decisions. I refuse to grow up. You cannot force me to. It is unethical.

There should be an Olympic event that is for running in heels. I have realized that it is my talent in life and a gold Olympic medal would be very cool to receive.

I would greatly appreciate it if a ticket to Fiji showed up in my mailbox. Preferably with reservations at the underwater hotel for the next 10 years of my life. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Lauren

P.S. I really should be writing my paper on ethnic nationalism and its relationship to the strength of Eastern Europe states after 1989, but this was more enjoyable (read: it required less thinking).

February

So February was a very eventful month in quite a lot of ways. I don't feel like writing long drawn out explanations, so y'all get a nice little list.

1. Plane tickets to Fiji went up.

2. I have come up with at least 9 (most likely more) different plans to get to Fiji.

3. My Dad came to visit for a week!

4. I had the flu.

5. My stomach hated most food due to extreme amounts of stress.

6. I lost 14 lbs (see above two points).

7. I acquired a kindle.

8. I procrastinated making decisions (this really shouldn't surprise anyone).

9. I realized my blog title does not fit the content considering I never talk about my adventures.

10. I went on a polygamy date (we all just wanted the free dessert but a date was required and there were two girls and one boy, so the logical conclusion was that he took both of us on a date).

11. I finally got flowers from someone other than my Dad or Grandpa (of course they were from my amazing cousins to cheer me up, but it still counts right?).

12. Boys are idiots, and it will be quite a long time before I decide to trust them again.

13. Snarky is my new favorite word.

14. I was reminded how much I really like British accents.

I have realized that most of my recent posts are full of drivel about my life. I also realized that it had been awhile since I had posted. After these two realizations, I realized that I am still not in the mood to write cheery posts. And now I have said some form of the word realize quite a lot in only a few sentences. The only thing left that I can do is end the post before I say that word again.
