The Lowdown

Who: Laura Latterman, with cameos by Nancy Decker



What: The original idea was for the two of us to try and follow the book and actually adhere to the rules (as much within our abilities and safety). However, it seems that I, Laura, will be doing most of the blogging - Seeing as how I'm the only one crazy enough to keep up with it. I'll share little tidbits about my life in general and my book-related accomplishments. Feedback and suggestions are appreciated!



Why: Mostly because I can; however, it also gives me an odd hobby and adds some spice to my life. And, it's a great way for my friends and family to keep up with me.



When: Day 1 was August 12th, 2010... It's a loooong work in progress.



Where: Littleton, Colorado & San Juan Capistrano, California





And this is where the magic begins...

Goldfish!

Day 45
09-24-2010
"Primal Scream"
After work, I went and cleaned my old apartment.  I vacuumed, dusted, swept, scrubbed and mopped.  All in an effort to be over and done with the place and to get my full deposit back.  Once I was finally done, I hopped in my car, all gross and sweaty, and got on the highway.  I went to grab my chapstick from my makeup bag only to come back with bright red fingers.  One of my lipsticks had the cap fall off and I had lipstick (bright obnoxious red) EVERWHERE.  I then put on my flashers, pulled over to the side of the highway, and SCREAMED bloody frickin Mary until my head hurt a little.  Then, I calmly wiped off my fingers, closed the tainted makeup bag, and headed back on my way.  I felt better after that.


Day 46

"Go on Strike"
Which I happily accomplished by skipping school.  That's right.  I played hooky.  Why?  Because I really wanted more sleep, and I felt that my mental well-being was more important than the educational institution.  Besides, every single day I resent how expensive it is to go to school and yet how much I dread it.  Why the hell should I have to pay for (or in my case take out student loans to eventually pay for) something I don't even enjoy.  There should be programs out there for BA via Work Equivalency and by passing an exam.  Like when working high school students drop out and get their GED.  I deserve a GBA in Administrative Assistance.  Okay, so, now that I feel guilty for skipping a day of school, I'll get off my soapbox and chill out.


Day 47
09-26-2010
Today I was to count my blessings.  According to Benrik's sliding-scale, I counted 78.  Apparently, I am quite blessed.  Which makes me laugh to say aloud, because I usually say that I'm "quite blessed" in regards to the girls if ya know what I mean.  ;0)

"Downsizing Day: Today fire someone from your entourage."
I turned in my keys for my apartment at One Dartmouth Place.  I told them how happy I was to have them out of my life.  I feel so much better now.  Now I get to wait a month to call and check on my deposit.  I should be getting $200 back between my move-in deposit and my pet deposit.  Those mfers better pay up!!!
