Just To Make You Laugh =D

Thanks mom for sending this to me! I hope everyone else gets as big a laugh out of it as we did! Love and miss you all :) xo

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
FIRST & FOREMOST RULE

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports, It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it , just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials...

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1.. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine.... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as Football
or Cricket.

1.. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;

But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Updates!!!

Hey everyone!!

I know it has been FOREVER since I have updated my blog. This is due to a few things! I had an extremely busy summer vacation (I know you are thinking, Lauren, summer was over 2 months ago) but to be fair I really have not had the Internet access at my apartment! My Internet cut out at the end of August. I had a wonderful visit with my AMAZING family! They came to visit me here in Japan for 3 weeks and then their visit was followed by two of my best friends ALLIE & Mary Ellen coming to Japan to visit for 2 weeks!! This was ALL followed by a trip to Thailand as you know I already blogged about. Please be patient as I want to catch you all up to speed on my blog! I know that a TON has happened since I last wrote you! Two huge events being that I traveled to Kansai area of Japan. I went to Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kobe, Nara & Kyoto! I have many great stories to tell from that trip along with my 24th birthday party! Work is back in full swing and am loving every moment. I am off to Seoul, South Korea in 2 weeks to visit 3 friends! I will also be joining a new fellow southern girl JET living in Nara! All my adventures are going to be updated, captured, and have pictures ASAP!


My Internet was fixed last week after 5 weeks of NOTHING! That was very painful but I lived and managed and after all the pain and suffering of no Internet at home and a $250 phone bill...my power chord of 5 years decided to die! LIFE IS STILL WONDERFUL! I realized this is a small battle but a battle nonetheless. I am still genki (happy/fine) as ever and am off to Oktoberfest 2009 in Yokohama this weekend! I will be meeting with a former JET who I met once at an art show last spring. She was also suffering in the same ways as I in the fact that we don't get along with a lot of the people on our program. I am looking forward to see her and hanging out with her! Her name is Stephanie :)

I am back to Japanese class and to the gym! It feels great to be back on a "normal" schedule with my really fun weekends interspersed!

...LOTS more to come! PROMISE!!!

LOVE AND MISS YOU ALLL!!!!!!!!!!! xoxox
