Curl Up and Be Spoon Fed Trashy TV

Have you ever read the Fortunately-Unfortunately Books? They go something like this:

My name is Maren. I am a fortunate and unfortunate girl.
Fortunately, I am lucky enough to have a sweet sweet boyfriend who I stay up waaaaayyyy too late talking to at night.
Unfortunately, I then have to get up at 6:47 in the morning to get ready for school.
Fortunately, there was a very faint dusting of snow on the ground, so we had a two hour delay today. (I live in the South).
Unfortunately, I slept in late and had to scramble about to get ready for school and forgot my iPod.
Fortunately, I wore my bright pink lipstick today and that always makes me a little happier, especially since everyone knows which man is my man by the kiss marks.
Unfortunately, Forrest was in uniform today and I couldn't kiss him but once since its against the rules. (That almost killed me.)
Fortunately, I got burritos after school with some of my dance girls.
Unfortunately, one of my very good friends (also a dance girl), is leaving to go volunteer in Ghana, Africa and today was the last day I got to see her.
Fortunately, we walked around to a bunch of wonderful vintage and local stores that were chock full of beautiful dress that came straight out of my dreams.
Unfortunately, I have no money for said dresses.
Fortunately, there is a sale going on.
Unfortunately, the sale ends REALLY SOON. Like, one or two days.
Fortunately, I'm going to an artists conference with my mom tonight, so that will distract me
Unfortunately, all I want to do is curl up with Forrest and eat chocolate and watch trashy TV

To end on a fortunate note, we do have Klondike bars in the fridge, and I am very excited about that. YUM!
Well sorry if that was long and boring darlings.
See you later,
Maren

Dawww, Boyfriend

You know that saying about how the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach? The quickest way to a girl's heart is through her lips. Err, lipstick. My sweet boyfriend got me new lipstick. And he's such a smartie, he actually got me lipSTAIN, so it won't budge when I kiss his cute face off. (Me thinks his mom advised him on what to get). I luuuurrrrve him.
Have a goodnight you guys,
Love,

So happy

Pretending its boyfriend

p.s. Isn't it a pretty color!?

Blog-Stalk

Have you ever gotten so obsessed with a blog that you read it for hours and hours and hours and hours (you get the point right?) till you get all the way back to the very-first-ever-post? Or is that just me? Either way its lotsa fun. I love seeing the changes in people, plus if I get that into a blog, its gotta be full of beautiful photos and funny stories.
If you decide to take up this practice, I will warn you, it will consume your life. And by the end, you'll be pretending that they are just talking to you, you'll have nicknames for them in your heads like you're besties, and checking the blog will be your first priority, over sleeping, eating and homework (cause you can live without those, of course. Especially the last one).
Here are two blogs very worthy of stalkage:
The Daybook-http://tandsdaybook.blogspot.com/
Isn't she lovely? I think she and her husband are so sweet and in love. And the girl knows how to rock some purple lipstick.
J&L-http://jayandelle.blogspot.com/
Dawww, so cute. Plus, now I want to go on a roadtrip. Real bad. Maybe sometime this summer.

Anyway folks, have fun today,
~Maren

I Promised But...

Backwards and still zen

I promised pictures and a good ole post about true love and such. And now I'm failing to deliver. Eek! Don't hate me please. Let me explain.
A) there was a mix up of communication between me and the dude. I planned something and so did he and we decided spontaneously to go with his decision
B) I am a night owl, he is not. But since he likes me a whole bunch, he stays up every night much later than he should talking to me, and has not been his chipper little self lately. Oops. So we needed a chill night.
C) The camera was no where to be found
D) The only in need of documentation was my lipstick. I do admit I'm a bit disappointed it didn't get photographed. But don't worry, I'll be wearing lots lots lots more. Till its all gone. Till its a little nub. Til I have to wiggle my pinky finger into the lipstick container to get that last little dab of pigment. (This is love folks). Besides, it was all gone by the end of the night anyway. And Boyfriend looked like he'd been mauled by a brigade of maraschino cherries

What we did do last night was make white chicken chili (SO GOOD) for the Fam, per Forrest's moms instruction, and watch American Idol. So we're dorks! Who cares? Not me folks, not me

Now I'm feeling a bit under the weather, so I'll bid you adieu. Time for more tea, sleep, Ibuprofen and homework (<--Blegh. Doin' nuthin' for me health, but I can't be lazy all day). Bye bye darlings

This is what I've been listening to all day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgZ_tu8s5Wk 
Its a good feel better song.
Love you,
Maren
p.s I promise an uber-picture heavy post when the time is right
