The stages of Awkwardosis

Ok, here you go. Before I go back to finishing that huge project I have, I decided, with the help of my drooly assistant (just kidding he's not drooling) to clarify the stages of awkwardness and then I plan on commenting on a few other little details..


Stage 1: Awkward- Patient's breathing levels are normal, heart rate is normal with little to no outward signs of mental trauma.


Stage 2: Awkwaard- Patient's breathing levels still normal, heart rate is slightly raised with slight eyebrow raise indicating that patient is beginning to leave comfort zone


Stage 3: Aawkwaaard- Patient's breathing levels have increased resembling mild hyperventilation, heart rate has begun to pound in patient's chest. Comfort zone has been completely breached and patient has arrived at a new mental level of shock and fear.


Stage 4 (danger zone): AAAwKwaaaard- Patient has begun hyperventilation; with each passing minute, mental trauma is wiping away brain cells resulting in permanent brain damage. Patient begins to exhibit shell shock common of combat soldiers. Patient MUST seek medical care immediately in order to reverse adverse effects of said traumatic situation (trip to Mallard's may reduce symptoms and slow spread of trauma).

*note: if symptoms persist or reoccur, remove patient from awkward situations and arrange consultation with a clown.*


Kristine- I still think of the night when I went to Jack in the Box and ate a bacon cheeseburger with a shake and fries. It still makes me happy. Love Austin...

I miss geocaching! Oh man, that was super fun. I wonder if they have any at UW. You guys might have to come down during the spring with the baby and find out.

By the way, it is BEAUTIFUL here today in Bellingham. I think it is about 50 degrees!

ok, back to work!!

love Maren :)

FORE!!

So I am posting this right now because I have class as 5:30 and I need to eat something.

I guess I have not much to say except that I have been crazy busy and I am sorry that my blog is REALLY boring. If only, if only, the woodpecker sighed, the bark on the trees was as soft as the sky...

sorry. I am really random and movie quotes are something that I am good at pulling out of my hat. Although i must admit that Austin is probably better. Now if any of you can name that movie, I will be very impressed. Or maybe I just live in a hole and don't think that any of you get out much.... hmmmm

Today I took a math test and I don't think it went very well, however, I am extremely grateful that I was calm about it because my friend sitting next to me was so nervous. He even emailed me after class to make sure that he got one of the problems right... poor kid. Little does he know that he is sooo much better off than I am. Oh well. I guess we'll see tomorrow how I did. Which reminds me, I have to go to class..

Love you all and have a wonderful night! Remember, they (those people who say a lot of things (name that reference! I dare you)) can't take away your life... and in the end, there are more important things... most of the time. I guess it depends on what you are dealing with..


AHHH brain dump!
sorry.

Maren :)

O_o

What a day!

SO, today. yeah... what a good one. I guess that when you don't do enough homework over the course of the quarter you have to make it up someday. For the record, I did do quite a lot of work this week. Well today I worked hard and now I have a headache. Which is quite a feat because I didn't start getting headaches until my senior year. I think that's ironic... Isn't senior supposed to be the fun one.

Oh, just so you don't all think that I hate my life, or that this year hasn't been fun, I really do love my life. This year, as I predicted, is fun so far. I love learning to deal with stress but sometimes, i am tired and done. Not to say that I am done or tired right now. I'm babbling. sorry. I just am trying to say that I know that the Lord has blessed me so much and I have nothing to complain about.

Ok. so we are watching "the Bachelor." It's an old movie with Chris O'Donnell and Rene Zellweger. I's actually quite hillarious and charming.

Ok. Yeah. I gotta go.

Love you all,
Maren :[]

I kind of want some chips, but i don't because my headache will get worse...

k really. I am gonna do some more homework. :)

Oberon Winley

Fell into the water and for five minutes his colleagues yelled at him. Like that's really going to help. (movie... if you can name it, I'll... give you a hug the next time I see you... which could be a long time)

Tonight for Young Women's we had a dessert competition. The Laurels made Julia Mumford's chocolate trifle which is TO-DIE-FOR. Even ask my mother who cannot eat chocolate. If you would like the recipe let me know and I will ask Julia. Tom, her husband was mad at me because he is also in Young Mens and had to come up with a dessert too but I thought of it two weeks before him. hahaha, the power of thought. Sometimes I love being witty... well whenever I can be :)

I'm at that point in my schooling where I have so much to do but I can't remember the urgency of it until it is too late. So now I have to remember that all of my homework is urgent. The question is, which way do I prioritize them?

So my new glasses are really fun, but I have to use them a lot at night now. The new contacts do not like my eyes as long as the other kind did. But, the point of the story is that my eyelashes hit the lenses if they are too close to my face and so I have to wear them like a granny. So I either feel like a huge nerd or a granny. Yaay! I do love being able to see though.

Ok, I must go to bed now or do hw. I think bed sounds like a better idea. I hate wanting to stay up late yet having to wake up so early... Kristine you know what I'm talkin about!!!

Ok really. Goodnight!

Love Maren :)

Quick, Quick quick

little shout out to all my Australia fans!!!

:):):)::):):):):):):):):):):)):):)

Don't feel bad if you haven't been able to procure it, I am sitting here in my bedroom on my bed listening to everyone else watch it upstairs. Stupid homework. :(

But rest assured that I will be watching it on Friday evening (at least I think I'm invited) if you would like to come let me know :)

Ok, as much as I really want to talk to you all (and you know that I do, like really it's been one of those days) I need to get to homework.

Love Maren :)

p.s. even though I'm "doing" homework, you can call ;)

The Werewolf is alive!!!

So, if you read Alex and Kristine's blog you'll know that Alex and Kristine's werewolf baby is alive. We've decided that it will be a werewolf because both Alex and K have really dark hair. It's a good thing!

So I should be doing homework and I am about to go do that.

Tomorrow, Australia comes out and I will own it.

ok. back to hw~

love Maren :)>

haha my smiley face has a goatee!! :)>

Laura, her name was Laura

That was a random quote from the movie JUST LIKE HEAVEN. Good movie.

GUESS WHAT???!!! AUSTRALIA comes out on Tuesday!! I am soooooooooooooooo excited. The only thing is, we have to get it cleaned up before we can buy it. Oh my goodness, that is such a good movie. I think that it is my favorite at this point.

Living right next to an airport I see a lot of airplanes flying in an out. A few minutes ago I looked out my window and what did I see? Popcorn popping on the apricot tree. Spring had brought me such a nice surprise. Popcorn popping right before my eyes. I could take an armful and make a treat, a popcorn ball that would smell so sweet. It wasn't really so, but it seemed to me, popcorn popping on an apricot tree. ok sorry, I had to. Really, I saw an airplane flying out of Bellingham and I decided that I wanted to run away. Sometimes I am content and ready to live my normal life and sometimes I want to be at my Grandma's house in Seattle and sometimes, I just want to be away. I think you all know what i'm talking about. So today, its actually a mix between wanting to be away and being content. I have a lot to do but I know that it will all be ok in the end. In the end, all the stuff that I deal with on a daily basis will not actually matter.

Ok enough complaining or being weird or whatever. I must go eat or watch a movie or write a letter or something. :)

don't you love how confused I am?

Love you all always and I hope you know that (even the people that I don't actually know who read this blog, thanks for reading!)

love Mar3n :)

Trust in the Lord and he will never lead you astray.
