About Me

Meet Laurel. Loves curling up with a good book. Hates trying to keep up with prime time TV. (So she doesn't). Loves her green shoes. Hates runway outfits. Loves her financial calculator. Hates materialism. Loves idealists. Hates voting for the lesser of two evils.
Yeah, that's a taste of me. Want a gourmet meal? There's a side of me that is probably too liberal for my parents. Although if you pick apart my political views, it's hard to classify me. For example (an extreme one), I'm pro-life. My one argument is that killing is wrong. However, don't expect me to preach to you. I won't. It's NEVER as simple as one argument, and there are shoes I've never filled. There are a million factors as to right and wrong and we all have to learn on this earth. I learn, you learn, our process is the same. Each of us must determine what is right and what is wrong. It comes down to doing the right thing - do it. It's not my place to judge, because I royally screw up sometimes!!

I'm a hard worker at work, but my home life is the reason I work. My life has meaning with or without a career label to peg me (it helps narrow me down a bit). I work so that I can have children someday. I work so that I can take vacations. I work so that I can have a warm house. I work so that I can live.
I hate confrontation. I think the fact that I do hate it is one of my weaknesses. Because of this, I have failed to do a lot of things. Say a lot of things. I've even gone against my conscience because of this. It's caused me to not be "real" at times (slap on the hand)! I can't claim to be perfect, but at the very least I am aware.
Which leads me to finally say that I think our intutition is one of the greatest gifts that we have. By all means, do not discount it.
Love you all,
Laurel

Animated Sneezes

Gotta love Josh...every time he sneezes, it is ANIMATED!  How can a sneeze be animated, you ask?  One may sound like "pwah-hooeeyyy."  Another may sound like "wah-mubathuba."  You ...

making a subject takes too much brainpower

I had a relatively tough week last week.  Here we are halfway through this week, and I'm doing ok.  I'm not sure what my problem was, but I was NOT myself.  Am I myself this week? ...

Simplify!

Never been much of a blogger.  There's just something about a pen and a fresh blank book, probably why I have at least six of them.  Also, the newest news reports say that employers, etc loo...
