So, you all seem to know a lot about me...
Like, that I love Costa Vida...
I sometimes find pens in the bathroom at work, and I keep them...
I drop my glasses in the toilet, and still wear them...
I am a design major...
I like Ted, a yitta-bit...
Jay-Kay...I love him a lotta-bit....
You know that this was my fav bday gift of 2009...or of all times:
No lie.
No lie. I read it like a novel.
"Professor Happy Cat" is known as "Senor Happy Cat" in my house...
Because, you know...we live in AZ...and I am sorta bilingual....
I think I know 5...NO...6 words in spanish.
I am legit, man.
Anywho, what I am getting at is,
You know stuff.
But not a lot of stuff about me.
So, ask me anything you want...
And I will answer ANYTHING you want.
Yay! It's a party in the comment box!
Except, this party isn't serving Chicken Salad sandwiches and brownies.
(I wish it was)
You will have to pretend.
Ready, Set GO!

That is also my favorite book. EVER.
If a cheeseburger and a taco got in a fight, who would win?

When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up? And why?
If you didn't live in AZ where would you want to live? Why?
In all seriousness, is it hard living with a boy? I know Ted's your hubby and you love him, but boys are gross sometimes.

P.S. Your kids are going to be so beautiful, I just know it! :)
Ooh question time :)
Do you talk like you do in your blogs to people face to face?
Would you ever name any future children after celebrities/characters? If so which ones?
Might think of some more later :)
Lauren you are so freaking hilarious. On this blog and your twilight blog. With me, I am funny/outgoing/sarcastic in real life and conversation, but when I go write a post on my blog I can't think of one funny thing to say.
So. My question is:
Are you just as funny and witty in person as you are on your blogs?! Cuz if you are, I want to meet you. Haha. jk but what can I say. I love being entertained.
What is your favorite candy?
Why am I obsessed with Zac Efron lately?
What type of design are you majoring in?
Mmmkay. I’m starting to feel like a stalker (ya know, by reading e'ery day and not commenting) so I’ll stop being such a creeper.... My question is - if you could have any super power imaginable, what would it be?
Ok, I'll ask some :)
**What made you decide to become a vegetarian? Was it personal reasons or health reasons?
(I've been sorta trying it out for health reasons)
**Are you left or right handed? Lefties seem to be more artistic they say..and you seem to be.
**Are you as disgusted with the things they show on reg. tv lately? I swear, I keep blocking channels for the kids..even late night commercials are so tasteless. Am I the only one who really hates all that stuff? I feel alone in my views sometimes :/ lol
**What was your best wedding gift and who was it from? :)
This is fun to get to know my fav and only blogger friend!
And one funny one but true for many..
Do you fear, or think these things are creepy like I do:
Clowns
Cabbage patch dolls
Certain ceramic dolls
Dolls that has eyes that can close.
*shiverssss*
Sara asked...
What was your favorite toy when you were little?
I collected American Girl Dolls, so I always loved playing with those. Especially because my mom read me the stories at night. It brought everything to life :)What's your favorite color?
PINK! I am obsessed with pink. My wedding was pink overload. I also love me some black and some aqua. I love color in general.Does it make you want to smash things when you burn your fingers with a hot glue gun?
umm...hi. Story of my life!Can you burp louder than your burpy neighbor? Is he still assaulting you with burps?
I actually am not talented in the ways of the burping. I try to burp loud, but I can't. It is a talent that needs to be developed. haha!
Anonymous asked...
"Is it hard being married at a young age?"
I think married is hard work no matter what your age is. It is always a challenge to blend two totally different people...but it is the best challenge I have ever decided to take. I love Ted, and yes...there can be arguments sometimes, but we always love each other and are committed to each other forever. Sigh...getting all weepy :)
Jadeth asked...
"I can't believe I'm so early. What I want to know is before Twilight, what did you read and watch?"
Hah! Believe it or not, I actually read and watch tons of other stuff :) I actually prefer reading classics over any other books. I don't like modern literature..it's lamespice. So much can be learned from the classics. I have re-read Jane Eyre multiple times...it's my favorite book :)
Do the chickens have large talons?
When's your family coming to western NY (Palmyra area)? I know your dad's on board, just slip Nancy some vallium and hop on a plane!
Anonymous asked...
what's your middle name?
If I tell you, will you tell me your name? Well...mine is Elise :)how tall are you?
I am a giant. I am 5'9" and have never worn heels! Even though Ted wants me to...how old are you?
43. True story.do you like pixie stix?
Pretty much the only candy I like is made of chocolate. Yum!BTW..I'm 21 :)
Bekah asked...
Do you like when people call you Laura?
Only when the person's name starts with a G. So that rules you out.
What is your favorite board game to play?
Capucine asked...
What's your favorite ice-cream flavor??
I am not a big ice cream fan anymore. I have been converted to the ever-delightful Golden Spoon frozen yogurt. But I love oreos in vanilla! And brownies in raspberry!How did you and Tedward meet?? (yeah, I love romantic stories, so I hope it is one)
It is quite the romantic, delightful story set in high school :) I will give you a link to the story:http://busybeelauren.blogspot.com/2008/10/wordy.html
mis kam asked...
if you were to come up with a character to introduce to the Twilight world what would the name be and would you be a vampire (veg or no veg) or part of the la push tribe (wolf)?... also... any special "powers"? =]
The character would be Lauren, and she would be a hot veggie vamp that has the ability to make a wicked pizookie and make people laugh. I...I mean, the Lauren vamp would steal Edward from Bella. The End
where did you get the idea for the adventures of Pocket Edward?that one, I must know.
If you could move anywhere, where would you go to?
[If you had one] What do you think you were in your past life?
Whats your top 20 band list?
Whats your guilty pleasure?
ok, I think thats enough. for now. haha.
Xk
Kristina P asked...
If you had to have sex with Carrot Top or Amy Winehouse, who would you choose?
That is one of those life or death questions where you would have to choose death. I actually thought about this over lunch, and I had my cons list and had to choose death in the end.
Jen asked...
Is Ted really as supportive of your Twilight/Edward stuff and if so how do I get my husband to be that way?
Yes. Ted really is. I think he knows how much I love it, and so to be unsupportive of it woulg just me inconsiderate of my feelings...you know? Tell your husband that you have hobbies and he has hobbies. Try to reach a happy medium.
Ashley! asked...
If a cheeseburger and a taco got in a fight, who would win?
Dude. A cheeseburger. It could totally hop on top of that taco and squish it. However, I would be cheering on the taco. One, because I love them more. And two, because I love the underdog. But not the hot dog. Amen.
cherie said...
Most embarrasing moment of ALL time!!!! :D
My life is an embarrassing moment. I dunno...I never really get embarrassed to the point where I remember it. How about when I had to get a shot in my butt because of my allergies and the girl that gave it to me graduated from my high school? Umm...yeah.
MizRanson asked...
Have you ever been to Canada?
No, I have not. However, my brother lived there for 2 years. And Robert Pattinson did for like 2 weeks. So...I am connected. Obscurely.
Jenn with two N's asked...
When you were little what did you want to be when you grew up? And why?
I have always wanted to be an interior designer. I have always been creative and have always appreciated a "pretty" room. So..here I am :)If you didn't live in AZ where would you want to live? Why?
Ted and I would love to live in Seattle one day. Not make our roots there...just live there for a short time before we have the babiez. We both fell in love with the city when we were there last summer...sigh :)In all seriousness, is it hard living with a boy? I know Ted's your hubby and you love him, but boys are gross sometimes.
Hahaha...in all seriousness...SOMETIMES. Boys really are a mess. However, Ted is really good about cleaning the bathroom and doing laundry. Whereas, I NEVER do laundry but I am tidy when it comes to the kitchen.
Hello Lauren :)
Have you lived any where else besides AZ?
When will you be in Southern Cali? I live near Disneyland and think it would be fun to hang out :)
Alexa Mae asked...
if you were stranded on a deserted island name 1 person, 2 articles of clothing, and 3 random things you'd bring with you??
The one person would be Ted...duh. He is the only person I would procreate with ;) Also, I would bring my polka dot swim suit and my fedora...since it's a beach. As for the 3 random things...i would bring my laptop, and internet service and then my last thing would be my camera :)
JustRandi asked...
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
It would be in the 20th Ward in Mesa. That is my goal in life. I love that area of town.
Jessica Marie asked...
Dude. Totally Alice Cullen. I want to be her. She is so sweet and thoughtful. So classy. So hilarious. So spunky. And sooooo fashionable! Love her.
sara without an h asked...
What is the one toy you wanted for Christmas/your birthday/whatever as a kid and never got?
Sigh...a doll that peed. You know those ones that peed in the fake potty? Yep...love, right thuuur.You're at a huge ice cream store... what do you order?
I would order vanilla with oreos and walnuts in it! Yum! In da tuuuum!
The Jensen Family asked...
When do you plan on having babies? And what names do you have in mind?
We are thinking within 3 years. How's that for a time table? hahah! Anyway..last time I shared my names on the internet, people were hatin'. But I will do it anyway...
Girls - Chloe, Sophie, Ava
Boys - Clive, Desmond, Landon
Anything!?
Okaaaaay!
Do any readers/commenters bug you? Honestly!!
{Like, I feel totally annoying, but it could just be me lacking the confidence to befriend someone I've never met...}
Also, if you could only wear one outfit, the SAME outfit, everyday {you know like on DOUG & Scooby Doo} what would it be?
PS. I ♥ U
1. What's your most embarassing moment?
2. What's the cutest thing the Tedward has ever done for you?
3. Do you love your life?
Redgie asked...
Do you talk like you do in your blogs to people face to face?
I actually do...it's much more interesting to talk with slang and made up words, than to not. However...I ONLY talk like that to friends. If I am just meeting you, or we aren't really close, I won't talk the way I do on my blog...or the way I do to friends :)Would you ever name any future children after celebrities/characters? If so which ones?
Never after celebrities...but characters, yes. I got the idea of "Landon" from A Walk to Remember. I loved Landon as a character. Also, I love the character Desmond in LOST...and it helps that I love his name.
no question for you..just had to let you know that you crack me up! you truly are awesome. Thanks for making me smile today! :-)
Hayley asked...
Are you just as funny and witty in person as you are on your blogs?!
Hahaha...I speak the same way as I do on the blog. But I dunno if I am funny OR witty. You will have to ask people that know me haha!
Stacey asked...
What is your favorite candy?
I am a big fan of Almond M&M's! Yummo!,Why am I obsessed with Zac Efron lately?
Because he is "teh hot". Seriously. I don't understand people that don't see it. But...I think you are obsessed RIGHT NOW because you just saw 17 Again and he is "teh HOTTEST" in that movie.
Nicole W asked...
What type of design are you majoring in?
I am majoring in Interior Design. The 2nd love of my life...behind Edward of course. Just Kidding...I love Ted first :) Anyway...after that I hope to do fashion design too. But Interior Design will always be my main focus.
Shyla asked...
if you could have any super power imaginable, what would it be?
It would be the power to make everyone happy. And the power to get everything done. As a blogger I try to please everyone...and I just can't. And as a blogger...I run out of time to do stuff I want to do, sometimes.
I was just about to ask if you got "Landon" from "A walk to remember" One of my most adored movies of all time. Love all his books. Loved the movies too. ( I did find the Notebook movie better than the book..I liked the movie ending lots better!)
Ok sorry to interrupt the questioning. lol
What is your favorite temple? Mine is San Diego.
Why do I have so much in common with you? haha thats not a real question but I do.
Jill asked...
**What made you decide to become a vegetarian? Was it personal reasons or health reasons?
(I've been sorta trying it out for health reasons)
Whenever I try this vegetarianism thing out, I always fail. I can last for like 2 weeks, and then I get weak. I try because I want to be heart healthy. Not because I am sad for animals. I really could care less. No one hate me! haha!**Are you left or right handed? Lefties seem to be more artistic they say..and you seem to be.
I am most definitely right handed. I wish I were left...I bet I WOULD be more creative. My bro is a lefty...and he is way creative.**Are you as disgusted with the things they show on reg. tv lately? I swear, I keep blocking channels for the kids..even late night commercials are so tasteless. Am I the only one who really hates all that stuff? I feel alone in my views sometimes :/ lol
I am! However, I don't have cable...so I don't see as much. The entertainment world in general is scummy now.**What was your best wedding gift and who was it from? :)
The gift from my parents! They gave us our honeymoon trip to Disneyland! So fun and such good memories.Do you fear, or think these things are creepy like I do:
Clowns
Cabbage patch dolls
Certain ceramic dolls
Dolls that has eyes that can close.
*shiverssss*
Are we twins? I fear all of those things...especially dolls! Creeptothespice!
Nancy Face asked...
Your face has large talons.
Omar asked...
I am not sure if I am allowed to disclose this info but the Father was talking about it just the other night. Hopefully next year! Will I get to meet Omar and Omar's wife and Omar's offspring? Because if not, I am not coming.
Emily asked...
What is your favorite board game to play?
Ted and I are really good with words, so we LOVE Scrabble...but NO ONE will play it with us. People are lamespice to the maximus.
If you had to live in Disneyland and were never allowed to leave the part of the park you lived in, which part of Disneyland would you choose to reside in?
I have another one!
Who is your favorite Harry Potter character and it cant be Harry?
If Darth Vader got in a fight with Dumbledore who do you think would win?
What's your best advice to someone in a relationship who is ready to get married but it in their early 20's and is still in school... yes I asked the question about being married young.
Kortnii asked...
where did you get the idea for the adventures of Pocket Edward?that one, I must know.
I actually was not the one to come up with the idea of taking pictures with Action Figure Edward. I just invented the term "Pocket Edward"...which exploded. Letters to Twilight came up with it! Love them :)If you could move anywhere, where would you go to?
I have answered this one a couple times now. I would love to live in the area of town where I grew up. It's so amazing.[If you had one] What do you think you were in your past life?
I don't believe in reincarnation, but if I were playing along, I would say I was...a donkey. hahah!Whats your top 20 band list?
Oh goodness! That's a tough one. Is it ok if I ponder on that and make a post out of it?Whats your guilty pleasure?
Golden Spoon. Gossip Girl. Forever 21. Shrimp Tempura.
Fun post!
I love the name Landon. I wanted to name Mark Landon but the hubby vetoed.
Anyway... my question is..
You are a super blogger and I think you have a ton of bloggy friends. Is it weird to talk to cyber pals that you've never met? Do sometimes you just wanna say... "Ya'll I'm going private?!"
Genevieve asked...
Have you lived any where else besides AZ?
Nope! I am a AZ girl, born and raised. Actually, I have never lived anywhere besides Mesa. I am so boring haha!When will you be in Southern Cali? I live near Disneyland and think it would be fun to hang out :)
I will be in Socal in August! We should meet!
Shayla asked...
Do any readers/commenters bug you? Honestly!!
Yes. Plain and simple YES. Buuuuut...only the mean, snarky ones. Or the ones that tell me they don't like something about my life. But, other than that...I love all readers! :)
lauren- i've been stalking your blog for a while now. i know i'm kinda creeperish. but i just fell in love with your zest for life and how much you love your husband it's very tender. you are so fun and i love how open you are it's very inviting. also, i love edward cullen :) he's sooo the best in the world. my question is:
how did you cope with not having ted for two years during his mission? my friend's boyfriend left on his mission recently and she misses him and i don't really know what to do about it. ADVICE PLEASE AND THANK Y0U!!?!?
thanks so much for brighting my day with your wit and humor. bye!
i only ask questions if i get chicken salad sandwiches...
ok ok so growin up in az did you love selena like all the other girls in jr high did?!
I got another one..
How did you meet Ted? What's your guys' story!!
The more I know about you, the more I like you. I, too, think that most modern literature is lamespice. Regurgitated fluff.
Who is your favorite classics writer? Mine's Doestoevsky.
Is the rest of your family as hilarious as you are?
Fun times on Lauren's blog! Yay!
Ok, let's see:
If you were a dessert, which would you be and why?
Can I have curly hair like yours, puh-lease?
And on a serious note:
When you had to have surgery last summer, how did you keep calm and such? I have to have back surgery tomorrow and I am terrified. Like, mascara-running-down-my-face-from crying-terrified (except I don't wear make-up...) Do you have any advice for how to calm down pre-surgery? I'm saying lots of prayers.
Also, I couldn't possible hate on your names since Sophie and Ava are both in my list of top 3! How crazy! Actually, I waiver between Ava and Eve because I really like Evie as a name. Anyway, quality names girl!
<3
Katie
Ooo! I couldn't resist one more comment, because I too love the classics! For my recovery I checked out "The Scarlet Letter", "Sense and Sensibility" and "Mrs. Dalloway" (a tad more recent) to read. "Jane Eyre" is also a favorite of mine and I really love "Emma".
No surprise that I'm an English major, ha.
Is it hard being so awesome? I bet it's super tiring!
Everyone else had some pretty sweet questions and you had some pretty sweet answers.
I just started a blog and I was wondering how you got so many people to read it? Word of mouth with family and friends, reading other people's blogs?
Thanks!
Meghan O
Hey Lauren! I absolutely LOVE your hair. And I was wondering if you had any tips? Mines kinda gotten boring and lamespice =] lately....
p.s. love, Love, LOVE your blog. It pretty much brightens my day!
-Stace
Have you ever played Catchphrase?? It's my favorite word game ever. If you've never played, you have to go buy it!
If you were to move out of AZ and to another state list it and what is your reasoning for that states choice? Also, no 'i love az too much to move' pretend you are being forced to leave the state!
How many kids do ya want?
If you weren't a fashion major what would you be?
Is there anything you really wish you could do in life but feel/know/think there is no way you could do it, so you don't? If so, what is it?
Do you like pets? If so, what type of pets would you like to have or have had?
:] everyone come stalk my blog so i can do something cool like this.
jesting. please don't. i get camera-shy.
lauren, you're adorable. the end.
What are the origins of "sicknast" and "srsly"? I love them. "Sicknast" and "lamespice" are on my list of interesting words to use as passwords. Nobody on earth is going to guess "sicknast" (except everyone who reads this post). I read your interview so I know about the "___spice" words. (o:
PS You rock!!
So fun! :)
My question is this: When did you know you were meant to marry Ted? :)
Oh! I still need that Sugar Cookie recipe. I totally forgot until you asked for us to ask you questions. So here goes:
Lauren, would you please type out your Sugar Cookie recipe so that I and my munchkinite children may feast on their deliciousness?
RatalieNose asked...
1. What's your most embarassing moment?
I can't remember the one I just told Cherie. Hmm....I don't often get embarrassed. But I often get 2nd hand embarrassed (holla LTR!) at other people haha!2. What's the cutest thing the Tedward has ever done for you?
Ted is often a sweetheart, and does sweet things all the time, but I just had a memory of something extra sweet. One night when I was like 16 and he was 17, I had a migraine, and I was crying, and my hair was up in one of my up-do's and so Ted gently pulled out all of the bobby pins and smoothed out my hair. It was tender.3. Do you love your life?
I hate it. Psh! Girl...of course I do! :)
Ashley asked...
"What is your favorite temple?"
Umm...I have only been inside the Mesa Temple. But, I have always loved the exterior the best. I think it is so unique. Love it!
Heffalump asked...
"If you had to live in Disneyland and were never allowed to leave the part of the park you lived in, which part of Disneyland would you choose to reside in?"
That is a tough question...but I will have to say New Orlean's Square. I am IN LOVE with the architecture. So beautiful and great music! and GUMBO!
Ashley asked...
1.Who is your favorite Harry Potter character and it cant be Harry?
Fred Weasley of course! I literally sobbed when he SPOILER! died. So Sad. Love him.2.If Darth Vader got in a fight with Dumbledore who do you think would win?
Psh...Darth Vadar of course. He isn't "fancy". And he has the evil "force" which is a little more powerful than wizarding powers. I do love Dumbledore by the way. Still wish he wasn't SPOILER! dead.
Anonymous asked...
"What's your best advice to someone in a relationship who is ready to get married but it in their early 20's and is still in school?"
So basically, me....in a nutshell. Haha! I was 20 when I married Ted and he and aren't done with school. Umm, my advice is to pray about it. If it feels right, and you have a plan for your future (ie...do you have jobs? How will you pay your bills? How many kids do you BOTH want? Where do you want to live and settle your roots? Are major views on life similar?) then go for it. I suggest reading a marriage book together. "The Act of Marriage" is most excellent. Check it out! (((HUGS)))
Lauren asked...
"You are a super blogger and I think you have a ton of bloggy friends. Is it weird to talk to cyber pals that you've never met? Do sometimes you just wanna say... "Ya'll I'm going private?!" "
No, I actually have never felt weird talking to a bloggy friend. It's weird, but I have a connection with my readers. I love how we are all different but can always relate in one way or the other. I have never considered going private. It's either all or nothing. I don't believe in hiding. If I don't have the guts to put myself out there, I shouldn't be here at all. That's my two cents :)
Are you going to the "Summer School in Forks, Wa." This summer? I'm thinking about it.
My parents were married in the AZ. Temple. Do you and Ted get to go much?
Anonymous asked...
"How did you cope with not having ted for two years during his mission? my friend's boyfriend left on his mission recently and she misses him and i don't really know what to do about it. ADVICE PLEASE AND THANK Y0U!!?!?"
All girls are different when it comes to waiting for missionaries. For me, I was DESTROYED. Even though I didn't act like it to others, I was. Make yourself available to her. Don't sit around bumming around...plan activities. Keep her busy. Don't ask her if she misses him. Ask her how he is. She is dying to talk to someone about him, but she doesn't want to dwell on missing him. She will make it through...especially with a awesome friend like you :) If she chooses to date someone, be supportive!
Moon asked...
"ok ok so growin up in az did you love selena like all the other girls in jr high did?!"
GIRL. It's AZ...of course they did. Did all the girls sing Selena songs in the talent show? Yes Ma'am.
Lauren asked...
"How did you meet Ted? What's your guys' story!!"
Ted and I met in high school in seminary. My brother sorta hooked us up. I left a link above :)
Sara asked...
"Who is your favorite classics writer? "
I am the Bronte sisters biggest fan. I love them. There writing slays me.
Melanie M asked...
"Is the rest of your family as hilarious as you are?"
No.Way. HAHA...jk. Yes! They really are. My mom kills me. And my dad. And Ty and Sierra. And Zach. And not Ted at all. Jk. Ted's aight.
Katie asked...
1. If you were a dessert, which would you be and why?
Bread Pudding. Because I am obsessed! Ted and I are on a search for the best in the world! Seriously...we are.2. Can I have curly hair like yours, puh-lease?
Do you have natural wave? If so...fake some curls. Get a diffuser and try to work it that way. Or, make three french braids...spray with hair spray, and then slowly run the flat iron over the braids. Take them out and presto! Waves!And on a serious note:
When you had to have surgery last summer, how did you keep calm and such? I have to have back surgery tomorrow and I am terrified. Like, mascara-running-down-my-face-from crying-terrified (except I don't wear make-up...) Do you have any advice for how to calm down pre-surgery? I'm saying lots of prayers.
I am so worried about you! I will be praying for you! I wish I had your address to send you flowers. Hmm...I didn't handle the surgery well. The night before I had a mean commenter, so I was already shaken up, then scared. Ugh. The best thing to do is get sleep...and pray. And read Twilight! Love you!
Sara asked...
"Is it hard being so awesome? I bet it's super tiring!"
BAHAHA! I don't know about the awesome thing...but I AM tired all the time!
Meghan O asked...
"I just started a blog and I was wondering how you got so many people to read it? Word of mouth with family and friends, reading other people's blogs?"
my blogs are a phenomenon to me. I don't get how it happened. I think it was word of mouth...because I didn't seek it out. It happened. Without trying. So I dunno how to help! Sorry! :)
Stace asked...
"Hey Lauren! I absolutely LOVE your hair. And I was wondering if you had any tips? Mines kinda gotten boring and lamespice =] lately...."
I will for sure give you tips...but I need to know what kind of hair type you have. Curly? Straight? Thin? Thick? Short? Long?
Alyssabender asked...
"Have you ever played Catchphrase?? "
I HAVE! It's a fun fun fun game! I love Apples to Apples the most though :)
Erica asked...
1. If you were to move out of AZ and to another state list it and what is your reasoning for that states choice? Also, no 'i love az too much to move' pretend you are being forced to leave the state!
Most definitely WA. I love Seattle. I love the city and the green-ness. I love the urban feel. Sigh...so beautiful.2. How many kids do ya want?
I would like 3-4. I am not sure. It would be ideal to have 3 boys and one girl. I would love that. Mostly because I can't give up any of my boy names.3.If you weren't a fashion major what would you be?
I struggled with deciding between design and Nutrition. Design is my destiny though. I love studying Nutrition on my own though. It's fascinating.4. Is there anything you really wish you could do in life but feel/know/think there is no way you could do it, so you don't? If so, what is it?
I would love to own my own Design company and have like a cute home decor boutique. I would love to have it stationed in Seattle. It would be so retro chic. I day dream about it. But, in the end...I know my calling in life is to be a mama...and if I am half the mom as my mom, I will be extremely happy with my life.5. Do you like pets? If so, what type of pets would you like to have or have had?
Growing up, I was never a pet person. We often had birds though, and I love birds. I have my TJ bird, but she lives at my mom's. I would love to own a rabbit! So cute!
Robinn asked...
"What are the origins of "sicknast" and "srsly"? I love them. "
Sicknast was just formulated out of my mouth...just like Srsly was. I like to type words the way I say them...like srsly. I slur the word to sound like that.
CanucKate asked...
"When did you know you were meant to marry Ted? :)"
My sophomore year in high school! No lie! haha! I think it was when he told me he loved me. Of course I had my doubts along the way, but after his mission, I KNEW when I saw him get off that plane.
Sarah Blue asked...
"Lauren, would you please type out your Sugar Cookie recipe so that I and my munchkinite children may feast on their deliciousness?"
For sure! You just gotta email me and remind me. I am a crazy busy girl :)
Hal and Kristel Shields asked...
1. Are you going to the "Summer School in Forks, Wa." This summer? I'm thinking about it.
I am not. I am going to Forks with Ted in August, though. I am not really into conventions. They make me think of fannie packs. I dunno why.2. My parents were married in the AZ. Temple. Do you and Ted get to go much?
Ah...temple attendance. Let's just say we are both very busy with very different schedules. We go as often as we can :)
I'm not asking a question. I'm just stopping by to say I love you and that you are truly a wonderful person. I have loved reading your answers and don't really have any questions.
I just wanna hang out at Costa Vida with ya!!!
Why did you decide to start blogging.
Did you and Tedward ever have any hard times? You always seem so happy together, and you sometimes make me worry about my relationship, lol. Just saying! Loves xxx
My question flew out the window when you mentioned "The Act of Marriage."
I so love you. And the act of marriage. Ahem.
OK...
my question is:
Will you dress up in costume and attend a Star Trek convention with me? We'll bring Mama Face with us, too. Think of all the FUN we'll have!!!!!
Seriously.
FUN!
It would rule.
Stop laughing.
first off, i think you're pretty cool! and i keep stealing your phrases...
do you ever go back through your blog to see if you've changed or not?
does it kind of creep you out that people save photos from your blog?
does the twilight vs. harry potter debate bother you?
does Tedward appreciate your interior design skillz?
are you an off-brand or name-brand type of gal?
i hope i didn't exceed my question limit! [also the fact that you mention a hippogriff in your comment box makes my day every time i see it]
I know what you mean by the "called to be a mama" comment. I am, too. It's awesome. Trust me. We want four, too.
None of that was a question, so, um.....Should I buy a Pocket Edward to take pictures with on our trip to Disney World this fall?
Your answers are cracking me up! I was wondering...
What is Ted studying?
And when are you guys going to be done with school?
Luv your blogs. Just found you a month or so ago. Know how you feel bout lots of things, like we could be sisters - met husbands young, surgeries, married young and in school (that does eventually end), but I am like old in years, my oldest is graduating from high school this week - eek! - but young in mind, just ask my Rob. How old do you think you are in mind vs age? Keep up the great work btw.
Are you still coming up here where I live ? Havent heard from ya in a while..
And.. what do you want to do with the degree once you get it.
I took design classes and it's a hard business to get into.. Any thoughts?
how do you like your new chandelier?
have you put it up yet?
when are you going to post pictures?
What is your favourite place you've travelled to within the US, and out of it (if you have) and why?
Holly asked...
"Why did you decide to start blogging."
I started blogging in 2006 because I was bored, pretty much. I constantly have ideas running through my head...so blogging happened :)
Miss Pippa asked...
"Did you and Tedward ever have any hard times? "
We have only had "hard" times when the abusive boyfriend was involved. It was only hard, because I was having a hard time getting close to Ted because of what happened. But other than that...we argue, but never seriously. Relationships take work :)
Lula asked...
"Will you dress up in costume and attend a Star Trek convention with me? We'll bring Mama Face with us, too. Think of all the FUN we'll have!!!!!"
NO.
Amanda Leeann asked...
1.do you ever go back through your blog to see if you've changed or not?
I don't have to go back through my blog to know that I have changed BIG time. I was a completely different person in 2006 than I am now. I can't even begin to tell you. However, I have gone back and hidden about 100 posts so that people can't read them anymore. I don't like the feelings I had when I read posts from that time.2.does it kind of creep you out that people save photos from your blog?
For sure! But, at the end of the day...I am over it. I have exposed myself on the internet...even if I deleted my blog today, it wouldn't matter. I have already exposed myself. That's one of the reasons I don't get why people go private.3.does the twilight vs. harry potter debate bother you?
No way. Probably becaus Twiilight WINS! :)4. does Tedward appreciate your interior design skillz?
Yes...he always brags about me :)5. are you an off-brand or name-brand type of gal?
I love name brands. LOVE THEM. I only buy brand names at the thrift store. Yep...clothes snob, right here!
Hi Lauren! Two questions (one silly, one serious).
First, the silly:
Do you ever go in the "10 items or less" line at the grocery store with more than 10 items?
Now the serious:
Do you want to start a recipe swap? You've mentioned some seriously yummy food on your blog(sugar cookies! carrot cake! enchiladas!)and it always gives me the urge to cook.
okay, that really wasn't my serious question.
Serious question, take two:
Do you ever find that you must battle stereotypes about your faith and, if so, is that frustrating?
Do you think you could post your delicious rolls recipe?
Sara asked...
"Should I buy a Pocket Edward to take pictures with on our trip to Disney World this fall?"
Umm...duh! Of course you should! It makes DL more fun!
Steph asked...
1. What is Ted studying?
Ah, how cute! Someone who is actually interested in Ted haha! Anyway, he is studying Civil Engineering. It will be bomb :)2. And when are you guys going to be done with school?
Never. haha...jk. Ted should be done in like 2 1/2 years...and during that time I will be working, then I will finish my one semester left! haha!
Crazy? Who's Crazy asked...
"How old do you think you are in mind vs age? "
I could joke around with this question, but I will be serious. I think I am rather mature for my age. I like to act goofy, but in reality...I got it together. I would say I am late 20's as opposed to the immature 21-status.
Ann Marie asked...
1. What do you want to do with the degree once you get it.
I am going to have my own business out of my home. I definitely want to put my talents to good use and make money!2.I took design classes and it's a hard business to get into.. Any thoughts?
It is extremely hard to get into top firms...but that isn't what I am aiming for. I want to do mine as a side business to make money while being a mom. It will be "teh awesome"
Niki asked...
1.how do you like your new chandelier?
I love it! It's amazing!2. have you put it up yet?
No, because technically it is a christmas present...so I have to wait! DYING!3. when are you going to post pictures?
Sometime after Christmas :(
Amanda asked...
"What is your favourite place you've travelled to within the US, and out of it (if you have) and why?"
Well in the US it would be Seattle. I am in love with it. Outside, it would be Rome. Rome is so amazingly beautiful. The architecture is inspiring.
If I take pictures of a Pocket Edward in Disney World, should I send them to you?
Jen asked...
1. Do you ever go in the "10 items or less" line at the grocery store with more than 10 items?
No! haha! I want to, but Ted would never have it. He gets pissed when people do. I am the rebel in the relationship.2. Do you want to start a recipe swap? You've mentioned some seriously yummy food on your blog(sugar cookies! carrot cake! enchiladas!)and it always gives me the urge to cook.
That would be awesome! I would love to! I love trying new recipes!3. Do you ever find that you must battle stereotypes about your faith and, if so, is that frustrating?
When my popularity rose, I was afraid that people wouldn't like that I am LDS. I was afraid of backlash, but you know what? People have been so amazing. People know that I believe the way I do, and they are ok with it. And I think the reason is, I am ok with whatever others believe. It's all about loving others. That's what Jesus taught :)
Charisse asked..
"Do you think you could post your delicious rolls recipe?"
I could. I always THINK about posting recipes, but then change my mind. I don't want to bore people.
Sara - YES! I would love it!
Well, the trip isn't until September, but I guess that would give me time to get a pocket Edward and prepare him for the trip.
Hmmm....I was looking at PE's on Amazon. They have a life size stand up. Should I bring it instead? It could ride Space Mountain with me and I could make out with it during the fireworks show. Hubs may not like that.
If you had to pick a song that describes/defines you,what would it be?
do you have like a twilight filter in your brain? cuz me and my friends do. its like when you hear something and automatically you see if it has anything to do with twilight.....its awesome. and.......ummm....whats you favorite twilight book?
What's your usual order at Costa-Vida? Me personally I'm a Cafe Rio girl but I'm willing to give it another try based on your rave reviews.
how have you become so confident in your blog posts? I don't think you would have always talked about some of the the things that are mentioned now, but it sure is fun knowing you have the same 'real life' experiences we all do. We all love reading your fun posts!
Shannon asked...
"If you had to pick a song that describes/defines you,what would it be?"
This one needs a lot of thought. I will have to do a post on this one. Good question!
Sarah Meatloaf asked...

I do have a Twilight filter. If I hear Twilight related words, I tune them in and then tell them about my blog. True Story. haha! Anyway...Twilight is my fav in the series :)

"What's your usual order at Costa-Vida? "
I have only gotten the salads. I really trade off with the salads. I really love the sweet pork..and the vegetarian but dude...you GOTTA get the fajita grilled steak. It's AMAZING! With the ranch dressing. Yum!

Most excellent question...my favorite of them all, actually :) Anyway, not too long ago I decided that my blog was the perfect place to make people happy. If you are having a crappy day, you know you can come here and hopefully get a good laugh. When I decided that, it made me see everything differently. I no longer focused on the crappy things that happened in life...I would LOOK for amazing things in my life. I no longer looked at trials in my life as a horrible, sad thing...I saw them as learning experiences. I no longer saw foolish mistakes as life shattering mistakes....they became something to poke fun at and would later make a funny story for my blog. When I had this mind set, my life changed. I love my life, and I am comfortable in sharing my life with the world. It helps that others enjoy it too.
I've been reading these comments for, like, way way long time. My finals are coming up and I guess I don't want to study or something.... Anyways, I have like a billion comments going through my head. (I also can't concentrate cuz I'm watching friends and I have to take breaks to laugh.)
1. You said something about being a vegetarian for 2 weeks and then becoming weak....I just realized that you're vegetarian and not vegan...so you wouldn't really care, but I was going to suggest vegan cook books. I'm not vegan but I try to be as much as possible cuz I think it's healthy. So nevermind! Haha!
2. I know someone who would play scrabble with you two but that wouldn't be very fun cuz I know his wife hates it just as much as I do. We (friends wife and I) would play with you but you'd get sick of words like....read, sick, him, play, etc. I have a four word max. I'm not creative with words. Never was never will be. I'm over it.
3. I agree with the hamburger winning. I think the taco would put up a good fight but I think in the end he'd give up. I think the fatty hamburger would also get tired but he's got weight on his side. Also, does the taco have a knife on him? It seems like something he'd do. Oh and I always support the Hot Dog. Always. End of Story.
4. Friends is funny.
5. So, you'd move to Seattle? Have you been there for anytime other than summer? It's a depressing place in the winter. If you and Ted move there for a little bit before kiddies, you should make sure it's only in the summer. But before you make that choice, srsly, check out Bend, Oregon. Having the world move to this place is my life long sermon, but it is amazing. (Rumor is they may build a temple there someday. The only thing missing to make it perfect.)
6. I'm going to stop because I'm writing a book.
P.s. who does/did your header??? SO cutesome!!!! I need to find a program so I can do smth more with mine.
So I just read your answer about books before Twilight and I am totally in the middle of Jane Eyre right now. I just thought it was funny.
Best Bread Pudding in the WORLD...on Carnival Cruise Ship....they have a recipe book, but I haven't looked for it, sure you could find it though...Toasted cubes of bread melting into divine luciousness...really, I took two back to my room after I already ate two...could eat that stuff FOREVER!!! Yeah, gained a pound or two on that trip....was worth it!
Not sure if this has been closed yet, but I've just been reading through a lot of your earlier posts (just got the link for this blog of yours today, have been reading "Lauren's Bite" for months), and I was wondering -
from where do you get all your inspiration? :)
