Lost my muchness, have I?

okay, so i went with some of my favorite people in the world last night to see alice in wonderland. i'm very excited about this movie, even now after i've seen it once, but the best part about going last night was sitting inbetween kari and andrew (insert insane cackle). it is weird being so giddy about meeting a person...but andrew and i have been friends for like two years and have never met so being able to finally hang out is awesome.

now i just have to get andrew paul to dallas so we can finally meet after like nine years. crazy.

so yeah, if you haven't seen the new alice (which i'm sure most of you haven't) then you should go see it for sure. it is very worth it. the 3D was awesome, but i think that with the exception of a few parts, it didn't make a whole ton of difference. a very beautiful movie and it is nearly impossible to pick a favorite character. once again tim burton has outdone himself.

[sidenote - allie is yelling at someone on the phone and it always makes me happy that it isn't me. haha. and it makes me giggle a little bit.]

i feel like a new person as of late. please do not take this the wrong way and think that i do not have bad days or hard times. i am actually having some pretty difficult times right now. i think the difference is, overall, i am extremely happy. joyful. some might even call it elated. i don't have a car, so i don't do much, BUT i have my friends, my dogs, my books, my mom, my WoW (bwahaha), my school, my knives, my cooking, my porch, my stupid laugh, my job, my corniness, my texting, my sister, my classmates, my cookbooks, my beers, my trip to vegas coming, my weekends, my birthday parties, my crying from laughing so hard, my funny boss, my favorite rug, my dr pepper, my rootbeer floats, my wonderful watch, my late nights and my long mornings. i wake up every day (most days, nobody is perfect) and decide to be grateful for all this and more. all the wonderful things i am blessed with every day. i can't stand people that wake up pissed off about what they don't have instead of happy about what they've got.

i feel like my world has been turned around and i know that things that i don't have right now BUT i have a lot, and i love that lot.

for now i have some papers to file so i'm going to run off and do that. i am going to blog more, it may not be here...look at www.thehappyfooddance.com in the future. :)

We're all mad here,
Lauren
