#tbt: Tales of a Third-Grade Laura

Only the coolest 8-year-olds had Walkmans. And spoiled toddlers, apparently. I don’t know how I thought I was going to pay for one for her on her sixth birthday (two months away at this point). That was obviously a lie to make me look good in front of Mrs. Kleinhans.

Mood music

First of all, not that kind so get your mind out of the gutter. Back in the day, I used to make mixed CDs like it was my job. They reflected my mood at the time and all I can say looking back is “Why wasn’t I diagnosed as clinically depressed years earlier?” Oh, andContinue reading “Mood music”

A few of my favorite things

Well, there are a lot in this one. You know, three-month break and all. Because even though I wasn’t writing on the Internet, it doesn’t mean I wasn’t reading it. I’m not an animal. First and foremost, even if you aren’t on tumblr, bookmark this one and follow it. One of the best things I’veContinue reading “A few of my favorite things”

#TBT Tunes

We are on Lawa CD 3, kids. Let’s do this. Track 1: “Two Pina Coladas,” Garth Brooks OK I might actually listen to this entire song. Old school Garth…nothing like it. And he remains one of like three country artists whose albums I can listen to in their entirety. Track 2: “Helplessly, Hopelessly, Recklessly,” JessicaContinue reading “#TBT Tunes”

In honor of Throwback Thursdays, I’d like to share with you a new (old) bit of awesomeness. Last week, I got the awesome idea to start looking through my old mixed CDs for those burned in high school and college. I have laughed, I have cried, I have judged myself. This week we revisit “LawaContinue reading “#TBT Tunes”

#TBT Tunes

In honor of Throwback Thursdays, I’d like to share with you a new (old) bit of awesomeness. You see, back when we had that Murder Mystery New Year’s Eve Party, those of us (all of us) who couldn’t do math thought our “reunion” was taking place in 2003. So, cue me looking into my mixedContinue reading “#TBT Tunes”

You can take the girl out of Kentucky, but you can’t take the Kentucky outta the girl

Never have I ever lived outside of the state of Kentucky. I’ve lived like, four different places within the state, but my address has never had a zip code that didn’t start with a 4. I’m not complaining. At all. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love this state – my city, especially.Continue reading “You can take the girl out of Kentucky, but you can’t take the Kentucky outta the girl”

A few of my favorite things

So. Once upon a time I started this series of posts called “Smiley Things” and then I realized that was a silly name so I changed it. Basically, this is a collection – which I will do on occasion – of things I currently enjoy or have found elsewhere on the Internets and think areContinue reading “A few of my favorite things”
