Man Purse

Man purse: who? what? when? where? why? how? My dad has a man purse. My dad's man purse is exactly like any other man purse. It is a HUGE backpack. Ask any male figure if he has a man purse. If his answer is, "I have a backpack," then you know he has a man purse. I just want to know what men put in there man purses - I mean, they are so big! What could they possibly need? My dad takes his man purse with him to work. I have to commute with him and his man purse. His man purse has got to be 3 times the size of my school backpack, which has everything I may need during the day, as I am stuck on campus far away from home with no car or locker to store things in. My dad gets to go to an office. Can't he leave stuff there? Futher more, what does he need that his office doesn't have? I don't know how these men do it. Today, my dad almost knocked me off my bus seat when he took his man purse off. That's how huge it is!

Enchanted

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We had a lot of fun down south with the Grandparents Stapley. Anyways, we went and saw the new movie "Enchanted" today. It was so good! It's basically my new favorite movie!

Here is the movie trailer:



And here is the Carrie Underwood music video with the song "Ever Ever After" from the movie. I LOVE this song!

Snow, Where Art Thou?


I can't wait for it to snow! I love snow and am getting more anxious every day! Every day I get more anxious! Wow, that was repititive, and redundant. That was repititive, and redundant.

Major Changes...No Punn Intended

I changed my major. I was doing a major in Health Promotion Education teaching and a minor in math teaching. But then, out of no where, I had a major panic attack and started to wonder if teaching was really what I wanted to do. After this stressful situation, and some research, I decided on a major that is definately what I want to do. I am still doing Health Promotion and Education, but I am doing the Consumer Health track, so I am not going to be a teacher. I don't know exactly what job I will get, but I do kow that there are TONS of possibilities with this major. The advisor for this program told me to come and look at five 3 inch binders to see some of the careers I could have with this. Holy moly! I'm really excited about this major, and I know this is definately what I want to do. :)

Tag! I'm it? What the Heck?

I have been tagged! Eeek! I have been tagged by Kristen, a.k.a. Bomamallama, E.L. (evil lady), or Llama Lady. Let's see if I can handle this:

RULES:
1. List the link to your tagger and also post the following rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog - some random, some weird, etc.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your blog also leaving the links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are "tagged" by leaving a comment on their blog.


Seven Facts About Lauren The Great!

1. I have weird nose bleeding issues. Sometimes, my nose bleeds really bad, out of no where. And when I say it bleeds really bad, it literally waterfalls out of my nose! My last nose bleed lasted about 2 hours, until the doctor drugged it up and stopped it.

2. I enjoy donating blood. Well, I'm kind of a health nerd, so I enjoy weird things like this. Plus I have a rare blood type, so American Red Cross like my blood.

3. I set my alarm to go off about 45 minutes before I have to actually wake up. Once it goes off, I just keep hitting the snooze button for 45 minutes until I have to get up. I think this is some sort of psychological thing which makes me feel as if I am actually getting more sleep than I really am.

4. My favorite show of all time is Gilmore Girls. I am addicted! It is so hilarious! I am constantly checking out the seasons of Gilmore Girls from the library. I can watch episodes over and over and over again, and they still crack me up!

5. I love pajamas. I have way too many pairs.

6. I have a missionary. He is really cool. He is my favorite friend.

7. I am a radio freak in the car. I always have to have a good song playing. I am constantly changing the station, and I become very upset if there are no good songs on. The radio is kind of a big deal for me in the car.

Now I get to tag. (I am only tagging 3.)

Country Music Awards


The CMA awards were on last night, so I didn't get to bed until late. My favorite performances were by Rascal Flatts, of course, Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, and I really liked Taylor Swift's performance. Some of my favorite winners were:


Horizon Award: Taylor Swift. For those of you who don't know, Taylor Swift is only 17 years old, and she helps write and play her music. When she won she said "This is definately my highlight of my senior year." It was funny.


Vocal Group of the Year: Rascal Flatts. They are my favorite country group.


Female Vocalist of the Year: Carrie Underwood. This was her second consecutive year to win this award. Last year, she beat Faith Hill out in this award. Faith Hill is one of my favorites, but when she lost, she flipped out, and it was so hilarious.


Single of the Year: Before He Cheats, by Carrie Underwood.


Entertainer of the Year: Kenny Chesney.
