not going round the world till 80 days....

Im not going to Bogota until May 23rd now. Ouch. I know it will work out best me going in May, but man was I looking forward to getting the hell outta here this week. No work, no school, just me and brandon and bogota. BUT, he couldnt get anytime off work supposedly so now I have to go in May when he can take a weeks vacation or something. Oh well. Im doing well on the diet front. I was pretty much starving myself for awhile, but Im getting better about eating. Im eating one decent size meal a day. I know, doesnt sound like much, but its way better then the day that I ate 3 peanuts and called it a meal. Oh well. My dad set up my slant board for me last night, so I cant wait to start breaking that puppy in tonight.
I had the wierdest dream last night. I was working at the brewhaus and I found myself cheating on Brandon with one of our regular customers. Brandon saw and sent me to jail. This jail was horrible! They cut my arm completely down to the bone all the way around. I remember looking at my arm and noticing that it was completely blue since it couldnt get any blood since the veins had been severed. They then proceded to cut open the corners of my mouth all the way to my cheek bones. I was freaking out spitting up all this blood into the sink. Brandon came to visit me and I had all these scars and bandages and he thought it was funny. CREEPY HUH?! Who knows what that means. I have the creepiest dreams sometimes. I think that Im supposed to write horror novels for the rest of my life or something.
Me and Joe G. decided that we're going up to the Cubs vs. Boston game on Sunday June 12th and going to turn it into a huge drunken day of baseball. Start drinking at happy hour, drink more at the game that starts at 7pm, then drink more after the game. How great would that be!!! I can already see me and Joe fighting like cats and dogs since he's a boston fan and Im a cubs fan.... add alcohol to that and boy oh boy will it be interesting. HA! Ive come to realize that I really took a lot of people for granted when I was in my judgemental state of mind a few years ago. I never gave Joe the time of day and never got to know him. Angus too. But now that these guys are hanging out with me more and more. Im really starting to see how awesome of people they really are. I hope that we keep being friends and get to become even closer as time goes on. Anyway, enough sappy shit. Im signing off. Gotta get some errands done for my mommy then heading home to work out. Love you all! Have a wonderful sunday and enjoy the oscars!!!

I love my bubs....

For all you who do not know, bubs means Cubs in Lauren language. When I was little, I apparently had a difficult time saying the letter C so when I used to talk about the Cubs, it came out as Bubs. So to this day, whenever I discuss baseball with my dad, its still "bubs". But ANYWAY I love my bubs. I cant believe that pitchers and catchers have reported. The season is so close I can taste it. Im torn, we got rid of Kyle Farnsworth. For all you who dont know who Im talking about, he is a reliever on the Cubs pitching staff. He was a head case, but boy was he a PRETTY head case. This man was ungodly hot. 2.5% body fat. Curly dirty blond hair.... 100mph fastball. HOT! Great to look at, bad for the team. He went to Detroit. So I can still look at him ever once and awhile, but now I dont have to deal with him throwing away my teams game. So I guess its a good situation. What else? Mark Prior. He is my boyfriend. I know I know. Everyone doesnt think he's hot. But theres just something about that boy that makes me wanna scream his name in bed. Cant wait to see him again. Im sad the Moises is gone. Glad that Sammy is gone. Sad that Grudzie is gone. Glad Nomar is staying. Glad Kerry is staying. Glad Carlos is staying. Glad Glendon is starting. Glad Greg is staying. Glad Derek is back. Glad Todd W. is starting. Glad the Todd H. (the porno viking) is getting more playing time. Iffy about Jason getting more playing time. Having an orgasm thinking about Aramis. Ahhhhhh!!! I cannot wait!!!! And the people say, chicago chicago chicago cubs. Chicago chicago chicago cubs!!! GO BUBS!!!!!

17 lbs. and a slant board.....

So I decided to go shopping yesterday. I was in a horrible mood and needed something to cheer me up. It began as a shopping trip for some cute new clothes, but as I was shopping, I was thinking to myself about all the weight I wanna lose still, so I decided to buy something that would actually help my cause. Instead of buying a shirt that doesnt fit my boobs and is too big in the tummy, I bought a slant board. Its one of those things you see in a gym for people to do sit-ups on. Its slanted so it makes them even harder. I realized that I was doing 800 regular sit-ups a day and that might mean they are getting a bit too easy for me. So I figure Ive lost 17lbs. on the current diet and exercise plan Im on, if I keep up with it and use the slant board, hello skinny lauren. Woo Hoo. Anyway, I was in a horrible mood yesterday because I think Ive pretty much decided not to go to Colombia in March now. Which makes me want to cry. But, would you go? I would be spending 13 days in Brandons apartment, seeing him twice a day for a few hours, and not getting to travel at all. I dunno. I still really wanna go, but I cant seem to justify me spending all that money to just sit around. Oh well. No work tonight. Im gonna go tanning and hopefully not eat too much today. I splurged a bit yesterday with the me being sad thing. Its amazing how much food you dont need to eat in a day if you just have the will power to do it. Well, Im taking off. Gotta go to class then get me a nice sun tan for the non-vacation in March... *sniffle* love you all-lauren

Serving booze on Valentines Day

Happy valentines day everyone! I hope that everyone is having a better one than I am. Im currently at school, then I work for 8 hours at the bar. Woo Hoo. Not the greatest valentines day Ive ever had but oh well. I did get one thing today that I desperately needed. I got to talk to Brandon. Like actually speak to him! He got a cell phone! It was so incredibly wonderful to hear his voice. Its so strange how I havent spoke to him in almost 2 months. I almost forgot what he actually sounded like. But we discussed my trip and how good it was to hear each others voices and all that nonsense. It was a nice valentines day gift. Sex would be better. So Brandon got a job. He works these ungodly hours and he can only take off 2 days of work while Im there. So we'd only get to travel to the beach once for 4 days. Im thinking of postponing my trip until June when he'd be able to take a week off work and we could travel and do whatever we wanted. That does sound nice, but I miss him SOOOO much. Just being able to see him for 2 weeks would be enough for me right now. The thought of sleeping with him (literally and sexually) is soooo appealing to me that I might just go for that. We'll see. Ive got a little time to decide. Anyhoo, I worked last night. Im picking up a bunch of extra shifts to make the money I need for this trip. It was rediculous. I dont know what has changed about me, but I was hit on so much last night. More than I ever have been before. Enough to where the door man had to tell this guy to stop TAKING PICTURES OF ME!!!!! He was literally following me around like the f'ing poparazzi. I was running away covering my face and shit... freaky!Granted, Ive lost weight, Im pretty damn tan, and Ive got a cute new hair cut, but Im not that much different. Ive never viewed myself as "hot". Maybe it was just the valentines bug in the air or something. One guy couldnt stop talking about my breasts, and another actually told me to my face that I gave him a boner by just looking at me. AHHHHH!!! Where do these people come from and why do they surface when Brandon is away and can't protect me? Anyway, it was just an odd night. I made good money though. And I have to do it all over again tonight. Joy. Im still sexually frustrated. 42 days!!! Thats the longest Ive gone since the last time Brandon was in Colombia. I hate it!!!!! Im a freak I tell you. I know girls that choose to go that long without sex. What is wrong with me? Well I guess that is all I have to report. Have a wonderful fuzzy wuzzy valentines day all you shits who actually have some one here to cuddle with! Come into the bar and have a drink and visit with me while youre cuddling at least ok? love you all!!!!!

Im leaving on a jet plane. Dont know when Ill be back again...

I GOT MY PLANE TICKET!!!!!!!! See all you bitches later, my ass is going to nice sunny beaches is South America for 2 weeks. I leave exactly 3 weeks from today. How exciting!!!! I seriously can't wait. Well, I can kinda cuz Im scared to death of flying. Its going to take every ounce of brave lauren to get myself on that freaking plane. Ill do it though. I promise. The plane goes to Brandon which means it goes to sex which I can no longer live with out. Its been too long. Ill be gone March 3rd through March 16th. Woo Hoo! Who ever would have thought that I would be going to Colombia? Brandon got a job today! Congrats to him! Now he can support me and buy me everything while Im down there! HA! But it does mean he'll have an apartment which I get to stay in for free which rules. I got my passport and my plane ticket on the same day so there is now nothing holding me back from going. Um, I think that is really the only exciting thing that is happening right now. I picked up extra shifts at work to help save some more money before I go, so if you go into the Brewhaus towards the end of this month, I can pretty much bet you that I will be there with a tray bringing your ass drinks. TIP WELL YOU SONSABITCHES!!! I NEED MONEY!! If you do Ill buy you some Colombian trinket! woo hoo! Cubs tickets go on sale Feb. 25th. Sweet love do I need some cubbies baseball. Im making it a point to go to at least 7 games this summer. I only wish Brandon would be here to go with me. I dont know what Im gonna do with out him here this summer. Ill just buy an extra seat and pretend he's sitting next to me. Thats not creepy right? When people try to sit down Ill be like, "Jesus! Brandon is sitting there! Are you BLIND?" Anyway, its making me sad to talk about it so now I am going to stop. Im late to meet everyone at the bar so Im taking off. Love you all and Ill think about you while Im lounging on the beach in my bikini! HA!

You don't know cubs baseball bitches.....

I recently realized that I am a Cubs baseball snob. And, I'm very very greedy when it comes to my Cubbies. I love the game of baseball. It is MY sport. It is the GREATEST sport to ever be played. That is until they come up with pro sex as a sport. But anyway. I despise people who say they are cubs fans and don't know shit about the game. Don't just say it to look cool. Girls are especially bad at this. You think it makes you look good to guys when you say your a baseball fan or a basketball fan or whatever. BUT, it actually makes you look like a moron to them when you cant back it up. Keep up with the deals, read the press releases, watch ESPN, UNDERSTAND THE GAME!!! Go to see as many games as you possibly can. Do this for 4 or 5 years, and THEN and only then will you be a cubs fan in my eyes. Sure you can root for my cubbies, we'll take all the support we can get, but before you start calling yourself a "fan" make sure you can sit down with me and hold a conversation over statistics for more then 10 min. Don't bullshit your way around the Cubs, I take great offense to it. All these damn bandwagon girls might as well be cardinal fans for all I care. In fact , I would prefer it!!! So please, feel free to like the Cardinals. You know they went to the world series last year!! Isn't that exciting??!! Go girls go!! Root for those Cardinals!! Stay away from my team dangit!!! You are not fooling any one!! We just laugh at you!! HAHAHAHAHA!!! Anyway, now that I'm done being bitter. Sorry, but when you work at a bar, you get to hear all this crap from girls all the time and it just seriously got to me. My trip is 4 weeks from this Saturday. Hopefully. If Brandon figures out what is up with his job and visa situation. I cant wait. There's only like 11 days until pitchers and catchers report!! How exciting!!!! I cant wait!! No more Sammy... Should be a good year even if we don't go very far. Anyway, I'm gonna go work out, go tanning, then hang out with Lindz before she has class. Love you all and have a wonderful night!!
