Ever Just Wake Up Happy? Never, right? WELL I DID!

This doesn't often happen but I woke up SUPER happy today.

(Perhaps it was the 7 hours of sleep I got last night?)

And so how do you keep the good times rolling all day long?

Especially when it's so EASY to make that "happy-day" disappear...

Hmmm?

SOME DANG GOOD SONGS - THAT'S HOW!

Let's start it off a...

...and then some...

....another classic right here...

....and then to really get the party started...

and finally...

BOOM!

Listen to that, with a coffee and your day is

FOR SURE starting 

and 

finishing off RIGHT!

(Musique connoisseur)

;-P

Ever Feel Like The Odd One Out?

Feeling a little crazy?

Like you are the only one losing your mind?

Or you've already LOST your mind and no one understands?

(Naaaaw, not me)

Pssssssst Lauren!

Ya, what do you want wiser version of Lauren?

Wake-up NUTJOB,

You are crazy~!

(gulp) 

Really?

Yup, really.

(double gulp)

Whoa, WhoA, WHOA!

Reality check please, here are some 

REAL 

examples of being the odd one out,

or

not really fitting-in,

or

just being the crazy-nutter...

NAILED IT!

You GO Robin, GO!

Blue is a nicer colour anyways.

Mmm - that's REALLY being the odd one out.

BUT

I fit in, non?

...okay, okay! I still eat like a crazy-kid...

...and I may sometimes STILL be the odd one out...

BUT

...sometimes I fit.

 ;-)

Maybe only on full moons?

So...yeah.

Les Memoires - Photo Montage From Borneo

Sometimes, I have to remind myself

(especially when its the close to the end of the year)

HOW LUCKY I AM TO BE A TEACHER!

Just a gentle reminder.

(Especially when there is a montage of photos of our trip

to Borneo with students this past February - bahahahh!)

SPOILED ROTTEN.

So...yeah.

Report card comment + Everything else = NEED MORE SLEEP

Not sure if this is the BEST mantra for me to have

(just encourages MORE craziness from me)

BUT

I love it.

I am crazy, period.

The lack of sleep recently hasn't helped in that department.

Just sooooo tired.

But it's fine, almost there.

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

Game face on.

Let's hit THIS week even harder, shall we?

Boom.

Under Pressure: What Happens to You?

When I'm feeling the pressure or getting stressed...

...I workout.

Simple solution.

Effective?

Hmmm.

No.

Why?

Because instead of finishing or doing the THING that is stressing me out

(and needs doing ASAP)

I go and workout - avoiding '"it" completely.

True story.

(It's only taken 32 years to figure that one out)

BUT

sometimes you just REALLY need a release...

right?

You know?

Anyone get me on this?

(crickets)

Sigh*

REGARDLESS.

 This morning, after finishing my hill run I realized that 

perhaps the pressure

(or fatigue)

was FINALLY getting to me.

HOLY CRAP!

Is that a HOLE in my PANTS?

Oh good GAWD.

It is. It's a hole and it's in my pants.

Right on my DUFF!

(And of COURSE I have been wearing these pants

for I don't even KNOW how long when I go to the gym...awesome)

Uggggh.

What was the workout today?

Hmm.

SQUATS?!?!?

Oh for PETE'S SAKE!

Awesome Lauren, just awesome. 

No, of course not!

No one probably even NOTICED.

Riiiiiiiiiiiight.

To sum up?

I need more sleep,

More leggings, and 

less selfies in the bathroom.

Boom.

End of Year CRUNCH Time - Insert Daily Dose of Laughter

HOLY GREAT BEARD OF ZEUS!

Do I ever need a good laugh.

When?

All the time, every day, at least x12 per day.

Why?

CAUSE IT'S A CRAZY TIME FOR TEACHERS - YO!

Sigh*

Let's get started.

Today's little giggle started with this ridiculous video.

Then some ridiculous homeroom games...

...which everybody wanted to play!

What about their hair you say?

Not many students seemed to really care.

Cool, right?

Bahahah!

I love games in the morning.

Amazing.

*Sigh

And to finished the day, Ms.Wells did

a little of this...

...which had the potential to be an awesome 

way to end the day 

EXCEPT

while rowing I noticed 

a new blister/rubbing pain that was forming

in a different kind-of-place.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Rowers normally get blisters on their hands

(like picture below)

But instead this new pain was coming from...

....between my big, green, round, b*** cheeks!

Wow.

Okay.

That just happened.

(Too Much Information Lauren)

So...yeah.

Tomorrow should be fun.

Working in a collaboratrium 

(office shared by more than one person)

Wincing and yelping in pain every time I sit down?

Hmmm.

One word to describe this?

(Laughing already)

I win.

It's Thursday...Day of Rum

It begins with this...SUGAR CANE!

Did you know there are two different types?

Well, I didn't....

Beautiful facility.

And pretty nice decorations.

And landscaping....is there anything they didn't do well?

Nope.

Nailed it~!

Gosh, I WISH I remembered the name of that brass thingy.

Oh-oh-OH!

I know this one....RUM!

Rum tasting?

On a Thursday?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeck Yaaaaaaaaaaa!

Those were my glasses alone.

True story.

Trying to get a picture of this great guy...

No, not the great HUMAN guy....this cute little GREEN guy.

(No offence Big Al)

He just wanted a little rum-jam?

Ummmm yeah.

He did and I delivered!

No photo evidence of that but I promise, it DID happen.

Would I lie to you?

Yeah, probably.

Hah!

YAY ITS THE END OF THE WEEK!
