Mimicking the Masters } Are Bowties Cool?

Why yes they are. And you know who is the purveyor of that coolness? Meg.

Comfy crop sweater... Check!
Cutesy scarf hood... Check!


Sweet necklace... Check!
Skirt... Check!

Boots (even though she doesn't show them much)... Check!

And now silly face.... Check! Oh I'm sorry that's more scary.

So what do you think? Did I do my best Meg? And sorry I look mopey and tired, this was at night after a retirement party... that kevin and I were late too :( stupid snow! The dog was not amused.

The Bike Song - Mark Ronson

Been kinda obsessed with this song as well as the whole album. Really should look up the lyrics... I need this to be my motto. At least when the snow melts.

"...I’m gonna ride my bike until I get home.

I can’t understand it, but I can’t really stand them
Girls love cars, cars cause harm to the planet
Don’t you wanna take a joyride on my tandem.
Huffy on a Huffy, don’t I look so handsome.
Bikes suffice they’re so nice like priceless
Working on my calves to triceps to biceps
Bypass the gas, stop the traffic lights
I get around round without a drivers license

Hello, you walking? Farewell. I’m off then
And I whip it through the city with a 40 and a 50
Party popping on my wheelie..."

1-11-11 } Resolutions and past year

So I'm not big on resolutions, but here are some goals I want to pursue in 2011.

1. Wear pants again } Well this may be weird since most girls are saying the opposite. I want to find a happy medium. One good thing about pants is that they keep me in check. I gain weight in my butt and thighs and don't notice it when I'm wearing skirts all the time. Case in point, I couldn't fit into some of my pants last week from the summer. That is a no no. I need to keep this ass in check (sorry for cussing)

2. Be More Nerdy } I'm a nerd, and I need to show it more, as simple as that.

3. Don't be Afraid } I wanted to dress up and go to the museum and take pictures, and that's exactly what we did, I didn't care about all the looks.

4. Carry My Dog Around } I don't care if I look crazy, but it's fun to put my dog in my backpack and walk or ride my bike around.

5. Climb More } I need to get better at climbing trees.

6. Explore More } I know most of Detroit, now it's time for me to go out and explore the D's surroundings.

7. Fight Ninjas } Evil ones that is. This should be everyone's goal.

8. Get the Nova Running } It needs more power than I can provide.

9. Go on Daily Walks } I need to show my dog off more around town, haha.

10. Go to the Lakes More } Even though I'm not a big fan of Michigan, I should be going to it's beaches more often.

11. Hang Outside } Did this a bit over the summer, but it needs to be done more. My goal is to walk around playing banjo... Or hide on my porch and when people pass start playing dueling banjos... creeper style.

12. Hang with the Fam } My sister's, parents, and I are all very close, but I really need to hang with my cousins more, cause they are cool cats.

13. See Friends in 3-D } I need to spend real time with my friends, no more facebook friendships. More phone calls, and outings.

14. Spend time with Immediate Family } This is how cool my family is.

15. Take the Robot Out More } He gets pretty lonely, and even though his personality is kinda cold, we need to let Gog out of the basement more.

16. Jump on Beds } Simple as that.

17. Laugh More } It's the healthiest thing.

18. Joga Capoeira } Preciso fazer isso... e prática Português também.

19. Play Frisbee } And other outdoor fun activities.

20. Ride my Bike & Run } As soon as it get's to 50 I need to ride my bike everyday, and as long as it's colder, I need to ride it indoors on our trainer. I did one 5K last year and meant to do more... but the year slipped by. So I need to do more.

21. Save Money & Learn to Thrift } Put that dough in the bank. I'm pretty happy with the size of my savings, but I'd like a little more cushion. Also I'm not good at thrifting anymore. It's all I did in Highschool but I still don't know where to go here. And it'll help me save money.

 22. Go to Concerts } This used to be an every weekend occurance, not so much anymore. That needs to change.

23. Paint } Simple as that. I need to take back my art.

24. Exit on the Slide } If weather is permitting, I must only exit my porch on the slide.

25. Leave More Notes } I whined to Kevin the other day that we don't text sweet nothings to each other anymore. I'm sure mostly because we talk all the time and live together. But I'd like to do this more. I miss having my old cellphone where I kept all my favorite texts. Years of switching phones and breaking them lost them to the abyss. I still remember a few, one of my favorites is one I got while I was on a bus to Ottawa "You are the Moons over My Hammy."

There you go 25 goals, just like my age.

Oh and look how clever I am, I posted this at 1:11p, Ones all over the place.

Lauren
