One of my favorite things about July is that it’s County Fair Time. And that means I get my yearly fixing of funnel cake. I know that if I ate this stuff regularly, I’d hate it. But eating it from a questionably clean truck, while sticky from the Summer heat, and using a plastic forkContinue reading “July 2023 in books”

June 2023 in Books
As I’m slowly listening to Twilight, one of my long time friends said, “If only you could tell Teenage Lauren that she’d marry a Native American man named Jacob. She would absolutely freak out.” And that, kids, is what we call manifesting (no it’s not, please stop). Trust me, it tickles me pink every timeContinue reading “June 2023 in Books”
May 2023 in Books
Have you noticed that every month this year has had me talking about how it’s been A MONTH. 2023 is trying to test me. But this month I started drawing boundaries and taking care of myself (if you know me, you know this isn’t my normal self) which has really helped. Or maybe I’m feelingContinue reading “May 2023 in Books”
April 2023 in Books
April is always this conundrum to me. It feels like an incredibly long month but I’m also trying to grapple with the fact that it’s already over and now it’s May! I did so much in April. Hung out with so many friends, went on so many adventures, drank a lot of wine, and enjoyedContinue reading “April 2023 in Books”
March 2023 in Books
I’m really just here to bitch. So if you want reviews, scroll on down. If you want to read my bitchfest, keep on going: This year has been a whirlwind. Scotland was amazing (I swear I’ll post soon) but I feel like any and all of my downtime has been re-watching Veronica Mars (for theContinue reading “March 2023 in Books”
February 2023 in Books
Something crazy happened this month. I listened to my first (new) audiobook. I’ve listened to Harry Potter in audiobook form, but it was more of a background music/comfort thing. When I got my current job (over 8 years ago), I knew I would be driving a lot so I tried out an audiobook. I immediatelyContinue reading “February 2023 in Books”
January 2023 in Books
Boy, I really hope that January 2023 doesn’t set a precedence for how the rest of 2023 will be. Sure, I was in Mexico for week one [fantastic, got a great tan] but a week after getting back, my husband got the flu! Thankfully, I didn’t get his full blown sickness – it felt moreContinue reading “January 2023 in Books”
New Year, Same Me Because I am a Human Being, Not a Calendar.
Ever since I can remember, “New Years Resolutions” have been a whole ordeal. Most of the time, people end up making the same ones year after year: “Come January 1st, I will eat healthier!” “I’m going to start going to the gym on January 1st!” “Dry January, here I come!” And so on and soContinue reading “New Year, Same Me Because I am a Human Being, Not a Calendar.”
December 2022 in Books
Why do I always think that December is going to be chill? Most of my December weekends were fully booked by mid-November. Not to mention that at work, this is the busiest time to of the year. But here I was, at the end of November, going “Man, I can’t wait to chill in December.”Continue reading “December 2022 in Books”
2022 in Books
See ya later, 2022. When I look back on this year, I have a lot of really cool memories but in between the cool memories, I really don’t know what happened. We went on our RV Road Trip in May and then like, it was the beginning of August all of a sudden and IContinue reading “2022 in Books”
