BBL covers current events {part 1}

i need to discuss some important matters with you, in a highly intelligent way. you might need a dictionary as a companion. srsly.
without further ado...
 
 
1. "the bieeeeebs"
it has come to my attention that the media is now comparing "the bieeeeebs" to the beatles. um. HECK NAH. i would literally kiss the ground the beatles walked on, but "the bieeeeebs"? i am pretty sure i would have to clean up after the ground he walked on. doesn't he still wear pull-ups?
 

 
i have a few issues with "the bieeeeebs":
 
a. he is ALWAYS a trending topic on twitter. how is this possible? how are millions of people ALWAYS talking about him? i understand that someone might be talking about him throughout the world, but MILLIONS at all times during the day? it blows my mind. no child should have that much fame. it's asking for trouble. look at lindsay lohan...she looks like she sleeps in an ashtray and bathes in whiskey. we have already seen vanessa hudgens "special friends" at least 3 times...oh wait...hold on...now 4. anyway, basically what i am getting at is, i'm hungry.
 
b. while i still see "the bieeeebs" as an infant in my brain, i realize and have acknowledged that he is in fact, 15. wanna know who else is almost 15? my little brother. guess who babysat my little brother, growing up? oh hai, ME. wanna know what is funny? girls my age LOVE "the bieeeeebs". i will go as far as to tell you that they swoon over him. i will even go as far as to tell you that MOMS have been reported as swooners, as well. this is wrong on so many levels. i mean, i died a little when i found out ladies in their 40s were going crazy for Taylor Lautner. it was weird, but i could understand:

but swooning over this? lauren does not understand.
should i mention again that people pass out at the sight of him? weirded out.
 

 
c. he sings about being in love, and relationships that he couldn't possibly understand. aren't boys his age supposed to still want to marry their mom? or was that what 5 year olds do? i can't remember. 5, 15...it was easy to get confused.
 
2. taylor swift did, what? say whaaaaat?
i heard from a very reputable source, any by reputable, i mean...tedward, that taylor swift was dating Finn from Glee. i would look up his real name, but i don't feel like clicking on my favorites to look it up on google. love me through it. anyway, when tedward told me this, i said 2 things:
 

a. "um. why do you even know what?"
b. "psh...i already knew that anyway. they totes went bowling a couple weeks ago. saw the pics. booo-yah!"
 
ted then proceeded to tell me that he heard all of the juicy details on a radio segment, "the good, the bad and the gossip"...pretty legit, if you ask me. he then proceeded to tell me that even though taylor is dating Finn from Glee, she is also, and i quote tedward, "bangin' John Mayer"...ew. and what was my response?
 
a. "NO SHE IS NOT!"
b. "...and don't say 'bangin'...i might quote you on the blog."
c. "no she is noooooooot! she is totally a virgin. have you seen her face?"
 
ted swore that it was the gospel truth, and while i still don't believe him, i have been bugged about it. i have this weird thing about sweet, young celebrities. i tend to attach them to their character, or their persona and then expect perfection from them. then when i find something out that changes that idea, my little heart is crushed. for example:
 
a. when i found out vanessa hudges sent pics of her "special friends" to zac efron, i said, "he doesn't want to see boobs! he hates boobs!" and tedward laughed. obviously.
b. when i saw pictures of hilary duff doing something, um...ahem...naughty...after her fiance proposed to her, i went, "NOT LIZZIE MCGUIRE!" i wanted to sick her little lizzie mcguire cartoon, after her.
c. when i saw a picture of kristen stewart tokin' it up on her porch? i was so...oh wait, i didn't care.
 
anyway, end of rant.
 
 
3. spontaneous combustion, like whoa.
so, when i was in th 6th grade, each week we had to listen to a recording about something really random. the only two random tapes i actually remember were about the bermuda triangle, and about spontaneous combustion. each BLEW my mind (pun intended). anyway, ever learned about spontaneous combustion, i have lived in fear. not severe fear, just mild fear. for example, static cling kinda scares the life out of me. especially if i am too close to my mom after she sprays hairspray. or if i am near someone that farted recently. i mean, you HAVE to take precautions...you could just blow up at anytime, and let's face it...that would suck.
 
anyway, today i told my mom and little brother about spontaneous combustion. they totally didn't believe me! i had to bust out the internet to prove my facts. people blow up, ya'll. want to know who are at the greatest risk? chain smokers, alcoholics and people with a lot of gas. i am happy to report that i am virtually safe from blowing up. so seriously stop smoking, people. i don't want you to go bursting into flames on me...or near me, actually.

random bbl thoughts.

here are some random thoughts for you:
1. i realized the night before i left for california, that it would be the first time tedward and i were apart, since we have been married. now, this shouldn't have been a big deal, considering for the 6.5 years we have been together, we have been separated for 2.5...but still. i missed ted A LOT. like...you'd think i loved his face or something.

2. ted is my favorite person to lunch with. i mean, i love going to lunch with friends...but ted is just so dang funny. getting to see each other in the middle of the day, makes me happyspice. recently it hit me like a punch in the face, that ted and i are truly soul mates. not that i never knew that...it's just, love grows over time...and i keep appreciating ted more, as time passes.
Photobucket

3. i hate moving. moving costs a buttload of money. and takes a lot of work. especially when you are named Lauren, or are Lauren's mom...or Lauren's husband. because LAUREN insists on painting her new abodes. why does it feel like we just did this? oh wait...we DID...5 months ago! anyway, we got an awesome townhome, so we have been busy painting and prepping the place...

Photobucket

tell me why i decided to paint the kitchen red. because at this point, priming, and painting 2 coats after that, sucks.

Photobucket

taping off the edges is a poopspice, too...

PhotobucketPhotobucket
ugh...taping. the bane of my existance! but at least my mama has been helping me. see what i mean? she is the best mama in the world. she even has her own key and goes in and works on the place when we are at work. i red-puffy-heart her.

4. i am completely ok with this haircut...and this photoshoot. i have no qualms. that is all.
Photobucket

5. i am really inspired by this wreath i found on the internetz. the color combination pwns. and so does the usage of those doilies! who would have thought? so pretty...
Photobucket
6. i have said it before, and i will say it again...camilla belle can do no wrong. i heart her sense of fashion. i basically want to give her a hug. and tell her not to date a jonas brother again...but that is a different story.

7. while i was on vacay, i sent ted regular picture updates. here they are...

my bloggy friend megan and i, heard about the premiere for sterling knight's newest movie, and since she and i had been meaning to meet each other for the first time, we decided REALLY last minute to plan a road trip to Newport to go to the special premiere screening of "Elle". Plus, we read that Sterling would be there, and we were like...DUDE...let's go meet him!

Photobucket
so at the premiere we rubbed shoulders with the producers, the actors, sterling's entire family...but guess who got stuck filming Sonny with a Chance in a last minute shoot? Sterling. If we were to say we were "bummed out" that would be an understatement.


but other than that sad little mishap, we had a glorious time in the beautiful california! have i ever told you how much I love california? it's kinda painful to leave, knowing i will be going back to arizona. i heart the beach. anyway, join me as i break down the weekend "by the numbers"...

so, after this trip i have decided that we need to have a "get BBL to a taping of Sonny with a Chance" campaign. I am willing to give the person that gets me tickets to a taping, a credit of $150 dollars to the Busy Bee Shoppe. I am 97.98265% sure that at least one of you has the hook ups. dude. make it happen...and i will be good on my word. speaking of the shoppe, it's been updated. speaking of updating...i just updated this blog.
peace out!
