Well today is V-Day :p My friend and I were talking about this day. I think all women, even those in relationships, hate V-Day. Last year I remember thinking "I can't wait until this day is over!" because you go into it with sooooo many expectations and for some reason they are never met. Maybe my expectations have been too high? Nah. It's just a day right? It's like any other Friday. I'll try to keep thinking that.

I was kind of dissapointed I didn't hear from him this morning. Ok, I know I didn't want to hear from him, but part of me did! Breaking it down into percentages, yesterday 90% of me didn't want to hear from him but $10% did. And today 95% of me wants to hear from him, but 5% doesn't. Ok Laura, think about something happier! :0)

LAURA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY!
One does not like to generalize about so many people all at once, Mr. Knightley, but you may be sure that men know nothing about their hearts, whether they be six-and-twenty, or six-and-eighty.
-Emma, from Jane Austen's "Emma"


So suitable for the day! That's all I have to say about this quote ;)

Ah, my head is filled with work stuff so I better go and let it out!
TTFN! ;)

It's raining here in San Diego. I like the rain! It's nice to have the weather cold every once in awhile.

Someone gave me flowers today. They smell so good. The carnations smell so sweet, almost like cinnamon candy! Weird!

I bought Valentines Day presents for my family today. I hope to God I don't hear from HIM tomorrow. I don't need my weekend ruined. Every time he calls I start getting sick and can't eat for days. It's not that our relationship was unhealthy, he just needs some therapy. I hope he gets it.

Anyway here's

LAURA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY!
"It is a truth universally acknowledged
that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."


Well I have to go home now and brave the rainy San Diego streets.

TTFN!

I'm feeling better today...besides the fact that I feel like I have to puke. It's that vanilla tea I just drank. I had to get the cup away from my nose. The smell is irritating.

There's a basketball game tonight at SDSU. I might go. Sports are so boring. But it's raining today in San Diego and there's really nothing much else to do.

LAURA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY!
"I always say, a kiss on the hand might feel very nice, but a diamond tiara lasts forever."
- Lorelei Lee (Marilyn Monroe) from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.



I want a diamond tiara! I've wanted one for so long. I think every girl should have one to wear around the house ;)

It's almost Valentines Day. I'm dreading valentines day. Almost every woman I know is dreading Valentines Day. Single women hate Valentines Day. It's just another holiday the money hungry man has made up to make us feel like less if we don't have someone to take us out that night and spend money on us. To make myself feel better I think I will go out that night and buy something. A valentines gift for myself. Why do we put so much worth into a day? It's a day like any other. What makes Valentines day different from any other day? If you're in a relationship every day should be special! That's how it is for me anyway. It's disguised as a holiday to remind men that they need to appreciate us, though in truth it's supposed to remind women that our biological clocks are ticking. I know I'm only 25 and I shouldn't be thinking like this but I can't help it. I feel like I'm wasting precious wrinkle free time! I'm usually an optomist, but when it comes to men lately I am a pessimist. I don't understand them. They feel so differently than we do. They can pretend we don't exist by sitting around and picking their butts, scratching their beer bellies and burping (in reality I would never date a man like this. I'm just being mean because they confuse me)...but we can never stop thinking about them! If there is a problem in a relationship you can bet the woman is sitting around taking it piece by piece and overanalysing. And what's the man doing? Going out drinking with his friends. I will never understand them.

I wrote about wrinkles above. That is the number 2 worry in women. #1 is men, #2 is wrinkles. We worry about men and that gives us wrinkles. We worry about wrinkles and that gives us wrinkles! I'm not going to get into this any further...it will make my face contort and wrinkle.

So the #1 worry in women is men, #2 is wrinkles and #3 is fat. I think for some women #2 and #3 are interchangable. But for me, fat isn't so much of a worry. I'm a size 6 and a vegan so I really don't have to diet or worry about what I eat. There are times I look in my mirror and think "Oh my God! I look so fat today!" I was looking in my car mirror this morning and wondering if they do face lipo. I think my cheeks are too big. I'm bored with my face. I want to do something to it. I asked my mom if she thought I should get collagen injections in my lips. They don't last very long. She looked at me like I was beyond nuts. My mom has no wrinkles, she's the type of woman who talks about surgery but will never get it because she doesn't need it. I think I should just stay away from the plastic surgeon. I get addicted to things easily and I don't want to end up looking like Michael Jackson. And anyway, that brings me back to worry #2. Would collagen injections in my lips stretch them out too much and make them prone to wrinkles?? Maybe I'll get highlights instead. That has no added worries attached to it.

TTFN! :)

What a bad beginning to the week...my hamster, Muffy Lagerfeld, passed away early this morning after midnight. She was the sweetest little thing, like a little cottonball. Muffy was an albino Russian Dwarf hamster. Very tame, she'd purr when I'd bring her out and hold her. I miss her already. :(

I have cramps, I'm crabby and sad. This is not going to be a good week. Things are not pink in my world today. More like bright red and irritating. I've had this to-do list sitting on my desk since the middle of last week. Somehow I keep adding to it and not crossing anything off.

I need to get myself into a better mood. Listen to some Destiny's Child. I don't think you ready for this jelly

Kelly,
Can you handle this?
Michelle,
Can you handle this?
Beyoncé,
Can you handle this?
I don't think
They can handle this
Barely move,
We've arrived
Lookin' sexy,
Lookin' fly
Baddest chick,
Chick inside
DJ, jam tonight
Spotted me a tender thang
There you are,
Come on baby
Don't you wanna
Dance with me
Can you handle,
Handle me

You gotta do much better
If you gone
Dance with me tonight
You gotta work your jelly
If you gone
Dance with me tonight
Read my lips carefully
If you like what you see
Move, groove, prove
You can hang with me
By the looks I got you
Shook up and scared of me
Hook up your seatbelt,
It's time for takeoff

I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this
'Cause my body too
Bootylicious for ya babe

I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this
'Cause my body too
Bootylicious for ya babe

Baby, can you handle this?
Baby, can you handle this?
Baby, can you handle this?
I don't think you
Can handle this

I'm about to break you off
H-town goin hard
Lead my hips,
Slap my thighs
Swing my hair,
Square my eyes
Lookin' hot,
Smellin' good
Groovin' like
I'm from the hood
Look over my shoulder,
I blow you a kiss
Can you handle,
Handle this

I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this
'Cause my body too
Bootylicious for ya babe

I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this
'Cause my body too
Bootylicious for ya babe

Move your body
Up and down
(Whoo)
Make your booty
Touch the ground
(Whoo)
I can't help but
Wonder why
(Whoo)
Is my vibe too
Vibealacious for you,
Babe

I shake my jelly
At every chance
When I whip
With my hips you
Slip into a trance
I'm hoping you can
Handle all this jelly
That I have
Now let's cut a rug
While we scat some jazz

(Scatting)

I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this jelly
I don't think you
Ready for this
'Cause my body too
Bootylicious for ya babe

Anyway, here's

LAURA'S QUOTE OF THE DAY
I don't understand people who like to work and talk about it like it was some sort of goddamn duty. Doing nothing feels like floating on warm water to me. Delightful, perfect.
Ava Gardner


Exactly..I don't understand how people like to work. Or how they make their work their life. If I could shop all day I'd be so freaking happy. Lay around the house, watch trash tv and my soaps (Passions and Days)..maybe exercise if I'm bored enough. I guess I just have a lazy personality. Now if I could just be a little more selfish I think I would be perfectly happy! j/k of course....

Well, I better get my bootylicious little self to work. Need to cross some of that stuff off my to do list.
TTFN! :)
