Early AM & Hot Trash

So, I woke up really early in the AM to babysit Braden across the street. His little sister Lila has a brain tumor, she's 2 and she had to go to the hospital for a hearing test. I know that's really sad but I try and look at the bright side of life. Anyway, I had to be there at 5:30. I just went back to sleep on the couch until B woke up and then we ate breakfast together (or rather he ate and I drank coffee).

I guess the only real highlight so far about the babysitting gig was when for about 2o minutes we played the "You smell like..." game. Oh, you don't know what that game is? Let me explain: You play with two people, in this case, Braden and myself, and go back and forth and tell each other what you each smell like. Bonus points for double bodily functions or using animals. Examples from today's match:

• You smell like dirty trash
• You smell like hot trash
• You smell like a dead rat
• You smell like poop
• You smell like a plate full of worms
• You smell like snot
• You smell like blood
• You smell like the wall

I think you get the drift. Anyway, this was a solid game. Braden also has a badass powerwheels and while he was driving in the backyard he drove through like 8 pounds of dog poop and it got all wedged in the tires. So, then we played car wash on the tires. 4 year old kids are amazing.

Have you ever noticed that Law & Order is ALWAYS filmed in the winter? They are always outside in the freezing cold or the rain or just wearing really heavy coats. It's a bummer that they can't solve crime in the summer although the dead bodies would probably would smell a lot worse right? I have a girl crush on Angie Harmon but that new show that she is on "Rizzoli and Isles" seems lame. I will not be watching.

TGIF! I hope that you all (which might be like the two people that are reading this blog again) have a fantastic weekend and that you are as or MORE productive than me - although I'm not sure that's possible.

Chillin',

Me & My Return

Hey everyone!

I don't want to make that huge of a big deal out of the fact that I'm back with a vengeance. I really think this is going to be great, life changing, and obviously, funny and an insight into my brilliant mind.

So, I'm at the University of Maryland at the MCERT program. I started in June and I'm ending next June. I love the program so far and have met some amazing friends. I'm not sure if I'm going to alert them of this blog because I don't want their opinion of me to be you know...tainted.

I hope to continue to be a badass/robot (as Andreas like to liken me to) for the next year. I hope that you can keep up bitches!! If you think this blog is cool and want to share it with other people who do not have the pleasure of knowing me and my awesome self, please do!

Since this is just an introductory blog posting for my new life, I won't give you a taste of what SimplyLauren can bring. You are just going to have to keep reading. I know that my life may not be particularly more interesting than, let's say, yours but my brain is more interesting than yours, for sure. :)

TO all my fans, I love you and please START READING AGAIN!

Love,
Simply Lauren
