David Archuleta, and John Lennon, Could American Idol Get Any Better Than This? I Think Not!

A Little More Conversation, A Little More Action

I have shocking news: I, Lauren the loser, Laura, L-Dawg, Lauraleena, La-La, Lolipop, Lar-wie, whatever you want to call me, have a blind date this Friday. Aparently my mom has been telling many of my extended family members that she thinks I need a little action in my life. She wants me to get out of the house on weekends, and, I quote, "have a little bone rattling." Now to me "bone-rattling" just sounds scary. I also found out that my older sister and her husband have been talking about me and my sad dating life. Aparently they have been talking about getting me on a date. I never though I would be the girl that people felt sorry for and felt the need to line her up with some boy. But, to tell you the truth, I'm quite excited about this date. My aunt and uncle are lining me up with a boy in their ward. He is 21, and is a brand new returned missionary. He served in Texas, yee-haw! AND, he is a red-head. I'm real nervous, because I haven't been on a date in a very long time, but I think it is going to be way fun. I'll keep ya'll posted!

Natalie and I Just Can't Get Over This Kid!

Happy President's Day!

I am so exstactic that we didn't have school today! I actually got to sleep in for the first time in weeks! I had the most random dream last night. I had a dream that my cousin Haley and her husband James owned and worked at a snow cone shack. I told my mom about this dream when I woke up and she busted up laughing - you would have to personally know Haley and James to find this so humuous. She made me call my cousin Haley immediately and tell her about. She said she has always wished to own a snow cone shack. :)

Look what my Aunty Judy gave me to add to my colletion. Thanks aunty Judy!

The U of U Has No Mercy!

Happy Valentines day! I hope you all were pleased with the snowstorm that dumped a buttload of snow on us over night! I'm just about to leave for school, because the U has no mercy on students, especially those that have to commute, and never cancel classes! If any of you have watched the news today, there have been school closures like crazy. Emily's school is starting 2 hours late today! School districts are closed everywhere! And these are schools that kids could walk to. Now the U? I have to commute every day to get to school, along with thousands of other students. The U is a commuting school. But, classes are still in progress today. Grrrrr! I remember spring semester last year, there was one day where the U canceled classes at noon. What made me mad about this was that I was allready done with classes at noon, and it wasn't even snowing that bad! It was nothing compared to today. Man, I am ticked off.

On less of a complaining note, have you been watching American Idol? There is this boy from Murray, Utah, who just made the top 24. His name is David Archuleta and he is quite good. AND there is a Mormon girl in the top 24! Her name is Brooke White, and I think I will also be rooting for her. Another contestant I am going to watch is Kristy Lee Cook and Syesha Marcado. I'm so nice, I put some clips of my favorites on here for you all to enjoy, especially for those who don't watch American Idol like Natalie Edge!

This is the Mormon Girl, Brooke White:



Here is David Archuleta, from Utah:



This is Kristy Lee Cook, She's a little bit country:



And finally, Syesha Marcado:
