what's lauren happy about?

1. My new freakin' awesome to the max flower clip!
I bought it at Forever 21 for 3 bones, and it was one of the best bone-buying-experiences of my life. It rocked my foolish little world.

2. I am a good, thoughtful wife.

I am very in tune with the needs of my husband. Srsly. Monday he had the flu, and I had to leave him at home by his poor little self all day. It is a wonder that he didn't die. But, I came home with this magical treat and tada! He was cured.

3. My Honey-Lime Chicken Enchiladas of freakin' awesomeness.

I am pretty sure that if I had made these bad boys while Ted was on his mission, I would have had people paying me to marry them. For shizzle.

4. My mom is so funny.

I mean, what is she doing in this picture? Is she telling me I inherited her small bosoms? Because, she didn't need to point that out.

5. Picnik.com

It helps me add color to my pictures, so we don't look anemic. Because in reality...me and the mom face always are. (see that light on my face? Have you see "6th Sense"? Well I think it is a ghosty. Hopefully the one that says, "You can't hurt me anymooooooore". She has a siiiick voice.)

6. Cinnamon Chocolate Banana Muffins = YUM TO THE MAXi...pad!
I stumbled across this recipe on Stephanie's blog, and I fell in love with it immediately. I added a few chocolate chips...and then I died.

7. The inability to take normal pictures.

Thank you Ted for inheriting the Face Family trademark, of ruining every potential normal picture! :) You would be lame if you were serious. Actually, you would piss me off if you were serious. Keep up the good work, dear one.

8. Frames for the wedding pictures!

I have been on a serious hunt for frames such as these. Yesterday rays came down from heaven and cast themselves upon these beauties. Thank you frame gods!

9. My cake stands found a home.

They nestled themselves beautifully into the comfort of their home yesterday. They sit atop the bookcase with some damask hatboxes...awaiting more delicious decor friends to come.

10. Valentine's Day has come!
Pink, Red and glitter are Valentine's Day must haves. If you don't have them, please exit. Just kidding...please stay, and learn the ways of the V-day love. (I spy a peace sign...do you?)
11. Valentine's Day Lovey-Sparkly-Tree of cuteness!
Everyone needs a happy sparkly tree to brighten up their day...what say you?

12. Close up on the awesomeness of glittery tree-ness!

OOooo...I am in a trance from the purdy glitter. Ooo Awww Oooo.

12. Laundry Room (aka closet) that has a V-day sign on it!
Ooooo Awwww Oooooo. I spy a cuckoo clock.

13. Knives and Hearts...how fitting.

Doesn't everyone put their "Love" signs by their sharp knives? I bet freakin Bella would. Knowing her....

14. New Magnets of freakin awesomeness.

They always have rings at Forever 21 with those roses on them...but they never had my size! Probably because I have sausages for fingers. Srsly.

15. Mighty magnets in mighty action!

I feel like I should say "go go power rangers!" after that sentence.

16. I decided what to do with the Ung Drill.

I decided to take out the back. I love it this way. If you don't understand its awesomeness, please talk to Ted....he doesn't understand either.
17. Babushka Apothecary jar found a new home.
The other apothecary jars hated the baby one, so they banished him to the bathroom where the crapping takes place. Nice, huh? Anyway...I was gracious enough to spruce him up and put cute Q-tips in his innards. He is happy. And so are my ears. (Is anyone else obsessed with Q-tips?)

18. Tada! The Tedauren Bed Chambers!

Ooo, the bedroom...how scandalous! Anyway, isn't it pretty? It is a work in progress. For example, it was Ted's job to paint the furniture black...but the Playstation would feel neglected...so I let it slide. Speaking of friends...the corner shelves need some.

19. Christmas present pillows!
The mama face in her magic gift giving skills, ordered me these pillows for my luscious bed. Too bad she is awesome. And when I say too bad, I mean...w00t!

20. The devil (vanity) mirror!
When we first inherited this mirror from Ted's parents, I was frightened. I told Ted and my mom that it looked like, and I quote, "A devil log". I was so convinced Satan owned it, that I hid it under the bed...until my mom yoinked it, spruced it up and painted it black. I now love it. I spy a peace sign.
21. Cute
No seriously...so cute. Even though that is my bad side. siiick nast.

22. Dining area arrangement.
This arrangement is still in progress too....I still like it though. Don't be hatin'.

23. Picture holder thingy ma-bobs.
I saw this architectural element at a garage sale for fifty cents, so I snagged two of them in hopes of creating something awesome. My dad drilled holes through the middle, and I picked out knobs to have inserted. Now I hang wedding pictures, from ribbons, on them! Sa-weet.

I'm very jealous of the thin mint ice cream--yum.

I have to say I thought #23 said thingy ma-boobs ; )

Jenna said...

Wow-- Third?! No way!

Anyway...Honey Lime Chicken Enchiladas?!?!

Perchance do you share recipies?

As I have a fiance with a serious obsession with "Mexican-ish" food and find my skills sadly lacking in that department of cookery!

Ann Marie said...

No fair!
I was going to do a Happy post tomm, and now if I do, I would look like a copy-cat. Lame.
Good thing yours made me happy huh?

I agree with Yvonne.. I thought it said Boobs too... :)

Please share the Enchilada recipe.

Love the Antique headboard. :) And your satan mirror, and the bobbers...

lindser-lou said...

your damask bedding is delish...i lurv it...and all your vday decorations! so fun and glittery!

and the qtip obsession? i'm so there.

Mikelene said...

Your fantabulous decorating skills continue to amaze me! Everything looks gorgeous!

And the Thin Mint ice cream looks yummy. Isn't it nearly that time of year when the Girl Scouts go around taking orders for their addictive-as-crack* cookies? mmmmm
(*Not that I would know about crack & its addictiveness from personal experience or anything, but those coconut caramel delight things are heaven!!)

Laura Sue said...

and if your edward quotes come up missing.... dont come find me.

Mikelene said...

2 more, then I will go:
Dish on the enchilada recipe, if it's not top-secret. Sounds yummy!

We go through a LOT of Q-tips at our house.

Kristina P. said...

You have the most amazing taste! Love the new header pic.

And I need to come and eat some enchiladas at your place. In a Snuggie, of course.

Shelby Lou said...

shelbs

Merkley Jiating said...

What is the list of books for?

Tori :) said...

Hey- I see my kiddos on your fridge!! YAY!!! They are famous!

On a different note- please come decorate my house. For cheap. Thx.

Klin said...

When you are done with Tori's home, mine will be waiting. Srsly.

We need some REAL thrift shops around here. You have some great finds. Alas, I am still looking and living in an undecorated home. That last part is cause my brain doesn't work right.

Head Nurse or Patient- you be the judge said...

Your home is spruced up very nicely indeed and I love the I-spy- you should do a book. You have an awesome mom- where did she locate those darling pillows?

aubrey said...

oh my dear, darling. i love your apartment. for a newlywed to have such style, it is just so refreshing and exciting and BEAUTIFUL. i want to live in your place. my only concern is your veritical blinds in your bedroom. hopefully there is a plan for the removal of those soon. right? right?

Sean and Steph said...

Love this post!!

Add me to the list of people dying to have your enchilada recipe, they look fantastic! Please share your fabulousness!

Also, the list on your fridge... Is that a reading list? LOVE IT!!! You have excellent literary tastes!

amy j. said...

MUST.HAVE.THAT.THIN.MINT.ICE.CREAM. That would be my favorite item that this entire earth contains. Just Kidding. But I do want it. And I would eat the entire thing by myself. In one day.

I'm feeling really home sick now. & by home sick, I mean missing the home that I have yet to purchase and conquer with my little baby decorating skills. Jealousy.

I've decided that Valentine's day is my fav. holiday. (no other holiday is all about pink, glitter, chocolate & love!) It's sad that I have never been able to celebrate it.

Should I keep going and make this comment awkwardly long? I think it's already too late. (sorry).

Alicia said...

I hate you and your perfectly decorated home of awesomeness. Seriously, all the gorgeous black and white makes me drool and start to twitch a little. (But really, I love you.) You are amazing, it's a good thing you're going into interior design because if you didn't I would punch you in the face. You have such a knack for it!
Also, I noticed your list on the fridge and after your handwriting comment I had to enlarge it to see for myself. I did, and I have to agree--very cute. Then I noticed it was a book list so of course I had to be nosy and read it and I noticed you have Atonement on there. I read that book and it was interesting but kinda weird. (And has some seriously graphic parts if ya know what I mean) Just thought you should know.

Stacey said...

Oh my gosh,I L-O-V-E your decor! Man,why couldn't I be blessed with the gift of cute decorating? I think your picture holders are so neat,I never find cute stuff at the thrift stores around here!

I told your mom she needs to take me shopping and now I'm telling you the same thing. With both of you I could really be stylin'.

Maybe one day I too could find a satanic mirror.

Connie and Tony said...

You have such an eye for decorating! I get so many great ideas from you... and your mom(:

Shayla said...

You are so cute, it just is not fair. I am probably your newest #1 fan, I tell everyone about your blogs... is that totally dorky? I just cant be a lurker, you are so awesomely cute & funny with A Mazing style! Yay for you & all your cuteness!

Sarah Blue said...

3. I NEED your enchilada recipe. Not want. NEED. Those look super yummy.

4. Love the apron your funny mom is wearing. And the pretty blue kitchen behind you both.

7. ted looks like a goofball. Oh man. I am laughing so hard right now. I mean, I saw the wedding pictures. I know that he can look normal and nice and he is completely a goofball in this one. While you, Lauren dear, Look great! :)

10. You're already decorating for Valentine's day! Sheesh! What are you? A newlywed? ;)

17. Cute jar for your q-tips. But reading all your decorating stuff and seeing how cute and put-together your apartment is already...well, I feel so...jealous. My apartment walls remained white the entire time we lived there. I hung only a few pictures on the wall, and none of them matched. And look at you! Everything matches and coordinates and looks great together! And every part of your home is decorated! It is amazing to me. Seriously! It is!!!

18. Are those silhoettes of you and Ted? Or just random heads?

21. Again, you're decorating skills blow me away. And I never realized you had a bad side...It never looks that way from your bloggy pictures. I think you are "Just not seeing yourself clearly". ;)

Kaylen said...

Can I even tell you how fabulous your house is? It's unreal. Most newly wed house's are super cute, but your house is so extraordinarily fantastic that it cannot even be described as a 'newly wed house'. its to amazing! great job, great job ;)

Tierra Lynne said...

Lookie lookie your bedroom looks like mine! I have the exact same bedspread. This truly confirms we have awesome bomb.com taste right?

Very happy to know Ted was not dead when you came home and had such a speedy recover: )

Loved it all and I think you should do a full 180 tour!!! What do you say? Loved the V-Day decor!
"Trwue Lwuve is what brwings us togathaaaa todwaaay"

Coveting the frames and the hookie bobber thingys!

Clint & Alicia McLaws said...

I'm envious of your sense of style and design in your home. Its adorable. Mine=not so much. I think I've mentioned this before. Eh, at any rate....your glittery valentines awesomness has inspired me. I think a trip to Hobby Lobby is in order =D

Ty said...

Boring

Ben and Alissa said...

Very cute! Everything is just so nice! We have lived in our house for over 4 years and, hmm let me count... we have 5 things up on the walls (of the entire house) and nothing is painted. Sometimes people come over and asked if we've just moved in. It's really sad. I just don't know what to do and don't want to spend the money.

I too love your handwriting, I had to look at it closer and it's super cute!

Jamie said...

Yes, please share the enchilada recipe. :)

That Girl in Brazil said...

I agree about the recipe, and I also agree that we should all worship you.

Your welcome.

Annie said...

Woohoo... no 30!!! so awesome.

Love love love Valentines day! It's my fav.
Cute decor.

I just bought two boxes of think mints from a cute little girlscout Sunday. Too bad it didn't come inside ice cream. yum.

Nancy Face said...

Ty: Your face.

Kate said...

Love your decorating style. I have to agree about the mirror though. I'm still FREAKING out about my daughters license plate #. It's
666 dd4 I HATE that so much. She tried to give it back to the girl at the RMV but they told her that it was random numbers and they'd already assigned it in the computer. I'm just sick about it. So, the mirror looks great with the paint job but I still have to side with you on the scrolls at the top.

Nancy Face said...

1. You look gorgeous with the flower clip in your hair...and I got to see it for REALS!

2. I deserve that ice cream WAY more than your donkey husband...psh.

3. Hey, everybody...those enchiladas are chillaxin' on MY kitchen counter, meaning she made them for ME! Don't be hatin'!

4. Bosoms? WHAT bosoms? I don't have any bosoms.

I just said bosoms four times in one comment because I'm bomb like that.

5. TOO MUCH color! I look like an Oompa Loompa, aaaggghhh!!!

6. Maxi pads wish they could be a muffin instead.

7. I don't see anything wrong with that picture.

8. SQUEEE!!!

9. Hope they don't suffer the same fate as the PREVIOUS occupant of that space! Yikes!

10. A peace sign in the Ung Drill! YESSS!

11. Ohhh!!! (In my happy little baby voice!)

12. Purdy glitter! Oooo Awww Oooo!

12. Nothing says love like stinky laundry! ;)

13. Precious knives of love! ;)

14. I LOVE!

15. DISNEYLAND!!!

16. Ung Drill is such a foolish name. Seriously.

17. Must...have...Q-Tips!

18. GORGEOUS BEDROOM! (Those corner shelves were a pain to hang!)

19. Me love the pillows of happiness!

20. Ohhh...the devil log looks sooo cute!

21. WAAAYYY beyond cute!!!

22. Let's finish that arrangement on Saturday...k BYE!

23. I pretty much want to marry those thingy ma-boobs...especially the crystal knobs!

Camille said...

All of those things are making me happy too! Yay! Your house is cute, cute cute.

Hannahkin said...

your new Forever 21 clip is freaking awesome;
your new fridge magnets are freaking awesome (i bet ya my fingers are more sausagey than yours);
Valentine's Day is freaking awesome (even though the odds of me getting a Valentine are minute);
picnik.com looks pretty freaking awesome;
honey-lime chicken enchiladas are DEFINITELY freaking awesome (since that's how you described them. you have to make them for me... someday. The End.);
your new picture holder thingy ma-boobs (as i read it) are darn freaking awesome;
and you, of course, are just beyond awesomeness. you just made my birthday awesome... and that, my friend, is AAAAWESOME! :)

oh, bff... you're the best.

nate and amy crandell said...

I love all of your decorations!! They are the cutiest, your bedroom is my favorite!

Vern said...

for a second I thought that said, "picture holder thingy ma-BOOBS". Look whose mind is in the gutter.

Niki (Crum) Worthen said...

I'm gonna go out and buy that ice cream now.

I want to taste those delicious looking enchiladas.

Love the new frames.

Love the polka dot chair.

Love the black frame.

Love your bedding.

Love the Satan mirror and the peace sign made me LOL.

Love the adorable cute picture and love the damask frame.

Love what you've created with the garage sale dilly bobs.

Leah said...

I am loving your purple walls in your bed room. How does Ted feel about them?? I don't think my husband would ever let me get away with that....but I really do love it. Maybe I'll have to make a trip to Lowes and surprise him. Cross your fingers, this could end up being really bad for me.

Loved your post.

Zach and Whitney said...

How much for the knobs?! I love them. Please can we go garage saleing together? I need you to be with me. Loving the hair clip. I need the recipe for the enchilades. because Im becoming domestic. I need that ice cream pronto!

PRP said...

Ok, my first house with my new husband looked NOTHING like yours and frankly, it pisses me off.

Your home is beautiful. You have serious skills.

And do you think someone's who's 33 can shop at someplace called Forever 21? Or would I just look pathetic? I'm leaning towards pathetic but I must say I'm intrigued...

Lauren said...

Kelsie - Are you friends with my BFF Lindsay Shreeve? If so, we should all hang out, and you can become my real-life friend!

Yvonne - Well, the word "boobs" wouldn't be surprising on this blog. haha!

Jenna - The recipe just might turn up on the blog in the near future :)

Ann - Go ahead and post, anyway!! I love your posts :)

Lindser-Lou - You go girl! Who knew we were Qtip loving twins?

Mikelene - The recipe might be seen on this blog soon!

Laura - We are twins! Yay!!

Kristen - I LOVE the new Snuggie profile pic...it is so snugga-licious!

Shelby - What is your style like. I would love to know! I will even make you an idea board, free of charge, if you like!

Emily - Hey girl! The list of books are the books I am going to read this year. Some have stars next to them. Those are the ones I own. Sa-weet.

Tori - I would LOVE to decorate your home. Oh...and your Christmas card is the only one I saved after Christmas :)

Klin - Send me an email...we can discuss your style and I will make you an idea board. I would love to help you out :)

Head Nurse - I believe she ordered them from Target? I love your profile pic. Cute doggie!

Aubrey - A compliment like that, coming from you..the definition of style, is heart warming! Oh and don't worry...I would get rid of those vertical blinds, if I were allowed. But Alas!

Steph - The recipe may be coming to a blog near you. Oh, and yes! That is a reading list. I have a goal to read them all this year.

Amy - It is on sale at Fry's! You must go and get it. Best part? It is half the fat because it is slow churned!!

Alicia - I am so embarrassed! That list was written in a hurry and is chicken scratch! Please don't base your judgement of my handwriting on that piece of crappy crap. Anyway...I will read Atonement next and let you know how I liked it.

Stacey - I would love to be your personal shopper helper :)Oh and as for the creativity...I was blessed with an artisitic mind. Math and Science? Kill me now.

Connie - You are too sweet! When are we gonna play? You should come garage saling with me. Or antiquing!

Shayla - Hello newest friend! You are soooo cute yourself. I love meeting new friends...tell your friends to come my way! :)

Sarah - Oh, let me tell ya...Ted is quite the goof ball. All the time! And yes...those are silhouettes of us. We had them made in Disneyland on our honeymoon. Yay!

Kaylen - You are too cute!

Tierra - Twins! Woot Woot!

Alicia - Hobby Lobby is where I got the Valentine's stuff! You must go! Favorite store ever.

Ty - poop.

Alissa - Most of my stuff cost very little. Design should never have a price tag on it. Great design can be found everywhere! Start looking at Thrift stores and garage sales. That is where I got most of my stuff. Then you just spruce it up with a little paint and you are good to go! E-mail me...I will give you some pointers :)

Jamie - We shall see :)

Brazil Girl - Love your profile pic!!

Annie - Just put them in some ice cream and you are good to go! Yay!

Kate - I can't believe your daughter's license plate! OMGosh. I would die.

Mom - I just said bosoms to make you feel good about yourself. We both know we don't have any. It's fun pretending.

Camille - You are cute!

Hannah - You are freakin awesome and I hope you have a freakin awesome birthday!

Amy - Thanks! You are the one with the cuteness talent though!

Vern - It's ok! Everyone has been saying that haha!

Niki - Thank you! You are so sweet.

Leah - Ted is fine with anything I do. Mostly because I am almost done with my interior design degree...he can't argue with the designer. The key to the violet walls, is to buy a grayed down version. There are shades that have more of a red tone, or a pink tone, or a blue tone. Get the gray tone and tell him it isn't girly...it is romantic and luxurious. Or tell him the symbol of violet is power and strength. It's true.

Whitney - Please can we go garage saling!? That would be so fun.

Lauren said...

PRP - I just found out you are famous and that is an honor to receive a comment from you. I am starstruck right now. As for Forever 21...they copy a lot of Anthropologie's clothing designs, they are just cheaper. I would say, GO FOR IT!

Holly Janeen said...

let me finish laughing first...

okay.

so, you have sausage fingers, TOO? twins.

and i totally have a bad picture side, too! i was telling my friend this the other day and they had no idea what i was talking about! um, hello- sorry you were born with a perfect face that never looks bad- cuz mine is like jekyl and hyde!

and um, i love the bedroom part the best- especially when you said that ted didnt want the playstation to feel neglected. what a great wife you are... i think my husband wants to trade me in! i mean, like- look at you bringing home ice cream and making amazing enchiladas... srsly.

tharker said...

I've been married for 12 years and my house is STILL not as beautifully decorated as is your sweet little newlywed home! Yeah, I'm totally jealous!!!

If PRP can shop in Forever 21, at 33, then I'm so there at 31! (I can tease her about her age since she is one of my dearest friends, AND I'm a full TWO years YOUNGER than she is ;)

Thais said...

I LOVE q-tips!!! I use them daily. What's that? I shouldn't because I can get ear infections?? Whatever ppl! Don't stick it THAT far into your ear for heavens sake! I know your brain needs some cleaning, but you can't get to it with a q-tip!!!

Lauren said...

Thais speaks the truth! Let it be written. Let it be done!

sweet nectar sara said...

i really do love your taste.
and is it weird that when i saw this clock i thought of you? probably. the pic doesn't do it justice, but you probably saw it in the target ad because target rocks!

JustRandi said...

Can I just tell you how much I am coveting those enchiladas??
Are they worth breaking a commandment?

Heather said...

I want the enchiladas, and when did PRP get famous?? She never told me!

Jensen Family :) said...

Love love love it all the blog is crazy good! You are one great chatty kathy, I could read your blogs all day! It is always so delightful to find there is a new post from you! You pull that flower off with such awesomeness! And your house is the best best bestest decor!

RatalieNose said...

Lauren said...

Ratalie - *whip crack!* I see my blog-rules-to-live-by have taken effect! Haha...love ya girl.

redheadedjournal said...

Your place is adorable!

No Cool Story said...

Ok, so that muffin better be fat free Lauren!

No Cool Story said...

Clarification: Fat free for me.
(You could totally eat that AND drink whole milk)

No Cool Story said...

Man, I'm a big Fail today.

I am brown and I can't stick around.

S said...

So I was reading your post, when I froze at the thin mint ice cream picture. Enough of a freeze that my son said "what?" I said get in the CAR NOW! I had forgotten about that ice cream. I am so going right now to get some! Ya know for the baby!

Tess said...

I just ran across your blog a couple of days ago, and you are hilarious. The blog about embarrassing poop related experiences was amazing! :)

Jayci said...

FUN post - my goodness, girl. I thought I just outdid myself with like 3 pictures.. :P haha!! i love your blog. Your home is so cute! Very Lauren-like and lovely. What a creative father you have! What a fun mom you have to pain the devil mirror and order such cute pillows for your sassy bed!

Your book list! i'm excited that you have a Great and Terrible Beauty on it. I think you should add The Tea Rose by Jennifer Connelly. VERY good.. but I admit to crying like I never have. Such a romantic story! AND.. the Handmaids Tale.. BOOO to the handmaids tale. I read it in high school and then re-read it last year and was reminded why I didn't like it. I hope you have a better experience with it. :P haha!! Let me know if you add "The Tea Rose" to your book list. how fun!

Steph said...

I loved the subtle display of your perfectly fontable handwriting which you could dub as "D-Lish."
You crack me up!

Whitney said...

Fun pictures! And I love your black flower :) I had one just like it, I just bought fake flowers from the craft store and hot glued big bobby pins to them :) And I spied the peace sign, twice, too!!! :) And a cuckoo clock :)

Emily said...

Hey Lauren! i love the ring idea! Plus I love the silhouettes...how in the heck do you make them! and what is the recipe for your lime honey enchiladas. unless it is too secret.
plus i spied with my little eye a peace sign!

Photography By Jo said...

You are so talented at decorating! and your food pictures are really making me hungry!

Ali said...

I love the fact that you put an Edward quote above a wedding picture of you two hahahahaha ;) Classic!

Chell said...

Hi Lauren!! Im sorry that I have been so terrible with the whole comment thing..but, with dial-up here in the middle of nowhere (and the fact that since you have 3 gazillion comments!) the page takes FOREVER to load up! :) Shocking excuse, I know..but I do still READ your blog..every time! :)

So, am I forgiven?

:)

Such an adorable post my friend...I loved all the peace signs! I will just have to come and see that adorable place of yours for real some day!

Lotsa Love
Rochelle

...aMaNdA jAnE... said...

I love Valentines Day! Your decorations look soo cute! :)

Sasha said...

I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE your house. Im not even kidding when i say i want your help when...if...i ever get married. For reals

M-A said...

where did you find that totally fantastic black clock?

Emily said...

I could never decide if the face on that mirror was scary or funny. It's much better black either way.
