i'm SWOONING over the fact that I had all my homework for today (and some of tomorrows) done by 3:00 today instead of the normal midnight or later...

:)

I'm also swooning over this totally awesome green jacket from buckle that i couldn't bring myself to buy.

Daae' said...

YAY for team Peeta!!! I really hope she ends up with him and not Gale. After all, Peeta works his butt off for her!!!
And I friggin love cupcakes. I love them to pieces. I swoon over them every day, all the time :)

Tia said...

tharker said...

I'm swooning over the matching crib and changing table that I really, really want to buy for my baby's room. And they're on sale...so that just makes me swoon even more.

Bella said...

Ooooh, I hadn't thought of the possbility that that is the proposal scene yet! Epic win for planting that in my head!

Can't think of anything I'm swooning over today... Sleep, maybe, since today I had to get up way earlier than usual...

Shamim Akhtar said...

Jaydey17 said...

My new iPhone, the recipe books I bought and my freshly (well, 24-hours-ago-freshly) purchased tix to a midnight screening of New Moon on Thursday November 19th (yes, in Oz we get it a day earlier!) after a re-screening of Twilight. SQUEEEE!!

P.S. That still: *SWOON!*
And if that's the proposal scene (which makes total sense) then OME!!!

xox

Crystal said...

I thought Edward proposes in Eclipse? Am I having an epic fail moment? Lol

I'm swooning over that picture either way...I love it. *sigh*

Crystal said...

Ignore that comment. I googles it, haha. Can't believe I forgot which book he proposes in...It's too early in the morning....that's my excuse. Lol

Nancy Face said...

That thing in my carport! ;)

Leah said...

That cupcake is to DIE for. YUM YUM.

Swooning over homemade Cherry Limeaid and awaiting FALL. Pull out the sweaters and jackets. This has to be my favorite time of year.

Jenny said...

Um... Thanks for teasing me with that cupcake! It looks YUMO!

I am swooning over New Moon.. Of course... My upcoming Wedding =)

And the fact that tomorrow is Friday!

Staci said...

I am swooning over that cupcake bad!!! Or really any bread like substance would be great (I started a low carb diet 1 1/2 weeks ago sorry).
Oh an deff. New Moon!! I think I finally brought a co-worker over to the Twi-world finally by showing her New Moon trailers yesterday!! I am so bad lol!

Erica said...

Mmmmmm...Edward! But i'm also swooning over that i'm a few days late and might be pregnant, my sweet baby boy and his jibber jabber and the cupcake that my sister made a couple days ago and posted on her blog. Mmmmm...cupcakes!

I'm swooning over the next week: Sunday, I have tickets to the 49ers vs. Cardinals game (GO 49ERS!! :D) and on thursday, I leave for a 4 day trip to San Diego!! I've never been...and I'm so stoked to get outta the state for a few days!! :D

amy said...

I don't think it is him proposing...in the book he proposed to her in his room and this pic looks like they are in her room...?

Rachel said...

ooooooo that New Moon picture.. definitely squeeeeeee!

Marci Darling said...

that cupcake looks amazing...so does the gnocchi. And I am totally swooning over that New Moon still....but if I was going to take a wild guess, Im going to say Edward's not really there...Bella is just having a vision.Guess we will find out in 70 days :p

I'm swooning over that New Moon pic...I cannot wait for November 20th!!

I'm also swooning over the fact that the season premiere of Supernatural is tonight! Woo-freaking-hoo!!

Ives said...

Today I am swooning over you and your blog. I just found it yesterday and couldn't wait to get my coffee made and sit on here and see what you had to say. You are funny with great interests. I ordered The Hunger Games and Catching Fire plus the new Dan Brown book last night. As soon as I have them read (may take a bit, mom of 4!) I will chime in on Peeta.... I am assuming I will chalk up another "book boyfriend" and need to re-read them just to savor the story a little longer.
Cheers

little ms. sassy shelby said...

I hate you for posting that cupcake. It's 9:35 and now I want to eat cake all day :) looks deeeelish!

Marianne said...

Anything chocolate and I'm GONE! Thanks a lot!
Yeah, and we in this house are so excited for New Moon to come out...LOVE the photo!
But mostly I am swooning over my sweetie because he loves me and tells me I am beautiful even though I am not cute and 21 anymore! That's love.

Amanda said...

I want to be swooning over that gnocchi! Where in Seattle can I find me some??

Hopefully its close to me... I would love to be within walking distance of a place I can pack my thighs on ;)

Spring Dance said...

i giggled at that picture of peetah.. cuz, well, he doenst' look like a blonde eric from little mermaid in my mind.

i am swooning over my cute outfit. you'll love it. i took a picture for you!

Spring Dance said...

haha.. oh crap! i signed in at work:) whoops! this is buttons. duh

Jenn said...

I will definitely have to read "Catching Fire" when I am *not* knee-deep in reading my anatomy & physiology book!

I am swooning over Kraft Macaroni & cheese 3-cheese variety. Yeah, that cheap fake mac-n-cheese w/the powdered cheese. I ate an entire box of it yesterday - by myself - and could really go for some more right now. Perhaps topped off with that delicious chocolate cupcake you posted! :)

Elizabeth said...

Um these smores cupcakes and this red dress. They sort of contradict eachother though.

ms. hartung said...

you got me intrigued, darn you!!
so i'm getting the hunger games..like, today

caitlin said...

Uh I LOVE the Hunger Games, so much. Peeta is the greatest part of the whole second book. I mean Gale could be her cousin, who wants to marry someone that looks like your cousin?

Ps- I'm swooning over everything from J. Crew.

Carter / TheKitchenette said...

I didn't even think that the still could be from the proposal scene! Swoony swoon.

I am also swooning over that cupcake now.

Annie said...

i am currently swooning over the pic of the cupcake!
why are there no fancy yummy cup cake shops around my area!?
i need one! ;)

Lauren said...

AH! Its getting closer to November everyday!! I CAN NOT wait!
Also, I just got The Hunger Games yesterday but I have to finish The Time Travelers Wife before I can start it!

Alexandria said...

I am swooning over a beautiful pair of sunglasses...too bad they are $600 bones and will never be mine. One can dream though.

Oh and now I am swooning over Sprinkles cupcakes and that New Moon still...oh Edward!

Stu and Angie Milne said...

free sprinkles today before 7pm at the scottsdale store. free. you just have to be wearing cardinals attire. free sprinkles. absolutely free. did i mention FREE?

i'm swooning over the thought of a beautiful red velvet cupcake. for free. mmmmmmmmm.

Leah said...

I am STILL swooning over this sweet little wedding video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trQpzPn9SW4
So ideal.

And um hello...your blog is 100% amazing/fabulous. Of course I want to be friends!

Jen said...

I'm so excited to hear you're swooning over Peeta. Me too!!! The other day, while in the middle of a desperate Hunger Games/Cathching Fire withdrawl, I came across a HG message board. The number of Peeta haters there was overwhelming. They said Peeta was weak. They said Peeta was annoying. They liked Gale better. Srsly.

But you're Team Peeta and clearly much smarter than all of them. :)

Busy Bee Lauren said...

Jen! I saw that message board and almost vomited. I will punch them all.

Peeta is NOT weak. Hello...have they read the book?

Ann Marie said...

Swooning over that New Moon Still!
Also: Red Velvet Cheesecake from the cheesecake factory and pumpkin cheesecake from the Olive Garden.. so I guess... cheesecake! :)

Heather said...

I can't wait for New Moon! I will be making a cake for the event too.

I want some of that chocolate cupcake. Yummy!

amanda leeann said...

oooooh, catching fire, how i long for your next installment. and for peeta to be okay.

am totall jealous of your team peeta button btw.

that cupcake looks fantabulous.

i'm swooning over the fact that i get to sleep in tomorrow =]

RatalieNose said...

I am swooning over....a certain boy who shall remain nameless, who wore a shirt and tie to school today...Ooooo baby! I love me a boy in Sunday clothes!

wende said...

swooning over that fabulous looking cupcake! i heart cupcakes in a major way. they are my weakness. ok, ONE of many weaknesses.

and steaming over the fact that the new moon midnight showing movie tickets are ALL SOLD OUT already! what the?

Melissa said...

I have totally been swooning over that New Moon still, too :D I never thought it might be when he proposes! You're a genius. Love your blog so muchh (:

Shayla said...

Hmmmm, I am swooning over the new rosette necklace I made last night, a new dreamy Edward/New Moon poster I spotted & if possible, having 2 more months with my hubs until he leaves for Army BCT.

Jen said...

Lauren, you need to start a Peeta-love blog. Because clearly you have too much time on your hands these days with your 3 blogs, hubby, school and your photography (which is gorgeous-come to Nashville and take my picure, please). And because I have no one to talk to about The Hunger Games/Catching Fire. And Gale was in both those books for, like, .374 seconds. How can anyone pick him over Peeta?

Becca said...

LOVE Peeta!!! :) Hey I'm Becca, and I've been reading your Twilight and this blog for quite some time. It's been very entertaining since I've been living in Congo...yep...Africa. It's been quite the saving grace for my stay there, as well as Twilight. :) Hey and by the way...my husband also went on his mission to Madagascar.

Anywho....LOVE LOVE LOVE The Hunger Games!! And Catching Fire is just as great! Where did you find that pic of a could-be Peeta by the way?? Also, thanks for solving the mystery of what that scene of Bella and Edward is, I couldn't figure it out. :) Have a good day!

lilnelablack said...

Swooning over the fact that I just finished Hunger Games.
Dying over the fact that I have to wait till morning to go buy Catching Fire ... : (

Lauren Elizabeth Crazypants said...

I'm swooning over:

-Groom's Cake ice cream
-Edward Cullen (currently rereading Eclipse)
-Dean in Gilmore Girls
-The fact that I now have "The Hunger Games" on hold at the library!

Have a wonderful weekend, Lauren!

Kari said...

Glee! I'm swooning over Glee & Lea Michele. I cannot get enough of her singing Take a Bow!

Lyndsay said...

I agree with the above comment, gLee is fab.

That cupcake is divine.

This week I have been blunt with everyone, and I dont even care-it feels good. :) haha, I guess you can say Im swooning over that.

Jessica said...

Cupcake and gnocchi look so yummy. Love the nm still, wish november was here already. Read somewhere that they might make the Hunger Games into a movie. Who do you think should play Peeta?

TEAM PEETA!!!

Jessica said...

ok nevermind just caught up with this weeks posts and you already answered my question. :)

Alex Pettyfer? never heard of him. will go look him up now.

Melissa Lundquist said...

Oh that cupcake is death now. I want one and look at the time! You are so cute. Miss your face. Let's do a visiting sesh.

KP said...

{Steve and Amanda} said...

Torie Jayne said...

M.Bee said...

Hi Lauren! I was so happy to find your blog linked on one of your tweets! I love Lauren's Bite and have missed your updates. Looks like I'll get to see even more of them here!
I agree with swooning over Peeta Mellark. I read Catching Fire the other day and LOVED it just as much as The Hunger Games. It's one of those stories that sticks with you after it's over, and I CANNOT wait until the final installment.
