today i decided that i really like being me.
i'm weird.
i wear colorful tights, and wacky outfits.
i tap dance.
i sometimes tell off-color jokes.
i say "pissed" way too much.
i like 50 cent more than most people.
i love the movie "bedazzled" ('67 version) and "harold and maude".
i wear nerdy glasses that don't have a prescription.
i like old things because they have "character".
i love disney, everything.
i'm different, and i am ok with that.
in fact...i thrive on that.
i also love the friends in my life.
the ones that texted me today, and made me feel loved.
i love my family.
i love my dad. i work in the same office as him now, and i have been watching him in awe. he is literally the hardest working man i have ever met. he is such a great man, and everyone loves him.
i love my quiet mornings while i eat my veggie sandwich and read my scriptures...

i love when ted wakes me up to say "Bye Bye" before he goes to work.
i love my ted.
he is my life.
and i love my life.

What a gorgeous post!
I think I need to be more optimistic about things :/ haha
xox
Lauren, you remind me so much of my boyfriend's sister in the way that you just don't care what people think. You just do what you want. I find that admirable.
And also, I showed my mom your blog recently and she decided that you look like Christie Brinkley. =)
I love you and your colored tights! I wish I could wear them like you do!
I need to get better about commenting...sorry :( But rock on for being comfy in your own skin. That is what made me love your blog so much in the first place many months ago. You are amazing and at times I think to myself {when I'm that imperfect natural man ;) and compare) why am I not more ambitious? You are wonderful! and I am super happy that you are still blogging!
Having your own personality and not worrying about being like everybody else is the only way we can be happy with our lives. I'm different compared to all of my friends, and I'm proud of it. My friends are so different compared to each other, and I love them all. And I love your blog because your posts are about being happy and grateful for what we have.
One of the greatest gifts of loving yourself is being able to share it with others. Thank you.
liking yourself is the very best =]
You go girl! Have your cake and eat it too.
and that's the important thing =)
love the life you live, live the life you love
Hahaha, never commented before, but I love the Hippofriff added thing! ;)
Anywhoozers, lovely post!
Oh that is sweet. Thanks for sharing. I really like your tights.

i like all your posts.
ANYWAY.

i have 34 more days!!! :)
i love my life too :)
All of those things are exactly why we love you!
You are cute and awesome and fabulous!
It's about time! You're awesome and everyone knows it.
Is everything OK? Let's pretend I texted you yesterday (oh wait, I did- but nothing especially thoughtful)
All those things you said about yourself is why I love ya! I know this will sound like a yearbook signing but "don't ever change!"
hehehe
I love this post. P.s. What is in your veggie sandwich? Looks yummy!
Of course you do! What's not to love?
Lauren- I love your blog so much. You are such an example to me. Thank you!
You should feel different! That is what makes us all unique :)
I love your blog and its craziness.
Don't change :)
You are such an inspiration to women everywhere. We should ALL embrace our uniqueness and our life. I have started to show the world just how unique I am and I LOVE how it makes me feel. Like you, I love my life. Thank you for showing us how wonderful life is.
aww this is such a heartfelt posts!
your tights are wonderful by the way.
:)
I think it is a beautiful thing indeed to be appreciative of what you have and to be able to recognize how much you love your life. Your blog always reminds me to think of the things I love in mine. I love my friend Lauren!
what a beautiful post! It's truly something that you can say that you love your life- not many can. I know that everyone has troubles and obstacles, but the fact that you can "rise above" :D is really something.
You go, Lauren! :D
you go girl :)
Yay Lauren! I'm so glad you've finally come to embrace the wonderful young woman that you are. And I also loveeeee tap dancing! Woohoo!
Lauren,
You are amazing! You are so adorable and I like that you love being you. I look up to you and love your amount of self-worth. That is what makes you gorgeous! Thanks for always being so positive. You are the BEST. Oh, and thanks for the tip about the McQueen and Warner GW.. I totally scored a $10 side table for my new apartment after I'm married. Have an AMAZiNG day!
Lauren! you are so dang cute! i always love reading your posts, seriously, im living in a town where there is not ONE person my age. No one who likes things i like, and i LOVE your style. SO fun and festive and it makes the color of life come back into me because i dont have reason to dress up! SO LAME haha. But girl! it was crazy fun goin to school with you, even though i dont think we hung out. But i always thought you were FREAKIN GORGEOUS!! Anyway! thanks for the new posts, keeps my busy! haha . YOU ROCCK! and i think you SHOULD love being you! (ps, what the devil is on that green samich? haha looks kinda yummy!)
Lauren you are so amazing. I love reading all your posts, and that one just made my day. I was kinda...blah this morning. But NOT anymore :]

I love this post. Yesterday I thought about writing you an email. I don't really know you, but I cyber stalk your blog and look forward to reading it everyday. I love that you kept blogging even if there were some meanies in the cyber world. I love that you wear crazy things. I love that you inspire me to wear crazy things. I love when you blog about your new home decor. I love that you tell it like it is!! You are wonderful and remember that you inspire people that are too shy to commment on your blog all the time but really enjoy it. I love you!!!
Such a great post. :)
I love the movie Bedazzled, too! The 1967 version is way better than the reboot.
I'm so glad, bb.
And I happen to think you're pretty awesome, so don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.
xo

Lauren, I think you're wonderful!!! :)
AW! Go you!!
*smile*
I like that you like being you!
Isn't it great when you are truly at peace with the person you are? Such a great feeling!
Harold & Maude is one of my ALL time favorites! You have good taste!
i love the outfit your wearing in that picture! its so cute!
That's awesome!
The other day I realized that I like who I am too. I don't mind my loner status, my weird humour, my sarcastic cynical self and I like my pleather jacket :)
Isn't it a great feeling to love yourself?
This post made me smile :)
So happy to hear that you are happy with who you are!! I wish more people could be at peace with that!!
I love my friends that are true to themselves.. and don't just follow what everyone else does.
Your an awesome girlie.
It's good to love you. :)
I don't see how anyone could not like you. You're beautiful! Inside and out
I like you just the way you are. I love this post. It is teh best!
Lauren,
I love you, and your quirkness, and ya style. But I have to tell you something... no offense. And this is coming from someone who does not enjoy veggies, and loves meat. But that veggie sammie looks sicknast!
Love ya! lol :)
OK - so not to sound weird and all, but I'm kinda thinking it's sad I don't know you in real life, because girl, you totally crack me up. I love your style & sarcasm - totally my kind of girl. In fact, you even inspired me to wear a vintage dress and plum-colored tights to my Christmas party - which would never have normally happened before stumbling onto your awesome blog. You rock, girlie-o. Don't stop believin'!
Awesome!
and I love you! I don't know you, but you're posts are so uplifting (even when you're mad, like the anti-blogger post!) Even in a bad mood, I leave your blog with a smile on my face. Thanx! :)
-Megan
Aww, what a sweet post :) You made my day brighter (happiness is so contagious).
i am so glad to hear that. and so glad that you are still a-bloggin'. this is me: :D
and everything disney, huh? i think that you would be in love with my new disney purse. it pretty much looks like your apron (in the shower post) except with mickey mouse ears hidden amid the damask pattern. i'll have to email you a pic. it's darling, darling.
Awww, Lauren, you are truly awesomespice! Though I don't know you in real life, I think you are hilarious and super adorable. Your blog always cheers me up and makes me want to cyberhug you, srsly! Plus, now I wear tights (and pearls that the hubby has commented look pretty) because of you too :) Oh, and that sammich looks yummy (is that avocado, aka the best food ever?).
