When I Was A Young Girl

I have been meaning to do this tag forever - its 10 Things About Me As A Kid - if you read this consider yourself tagged!

.

1. As you can see in my picture, I had a cabbage patch kid - I loved them. For my 8th birthday I even had a cabbage patch themed party. I also loved the Spice Girls and wrote them a letter asking them to perform at my birthday party (high expectations, no?). My mom told be before the party that there would be a surprise guest. I got excited thinking it would be the Spice Girls, but I also added - "it better not be a clown!" And it was. A clown pretending to be a Cabbage Patch Doll. I was not happy.

.

2. I was into fairies, leprechauns, ghosts, aliens - all that supernatural stuff. I say that has a lot to do with me watching So Weird and Allen Strange (remember those shows?). My friends and I spend all our time outside looking for these beings and even had a secret club. I especially loved fairies and make houses and food for them.

.

3. On that note, when I was 8 I asked for an alien for Christmas. yes, in my letter to Santa I asked for a martian. So I could be like Robbie from the nick show Allen Strange and have an alien living in my attic. All my dad said was "Lauren, what if a alien asked for a human for Christmas?" Can't you see already what an odd child I was? haha

.

4. When I was a kid I owned several businesses and restaurants: 1997 Cafe (our dinner table, the menu what was whatever we were having that night), New News I created a magazine that featured crafts and interviews with family members...and I made them pay for it), Lauren's Daisies (my bath and body works company, basically I mixed water and lotion in bottles and sold them to my grandmother) and many more. I was a mini- mogul!

.

5. I had a recurring dream when I was little that little miss piggy was driving up a mountain with black and white dinosaurs chasing after her. Random.

.

6. I loved Enya. I would spend an entire day playing dress up and dancing to her music.

.

7. I used to write songs when I was little too. I wrote about holidays, family, and love (which I knew nothing about). I performed them for the family too and pretended like I was on tour. ?They're not well written but had good tunes.

.

8. I hated buttons - with a passion. I could not stand to wear anything with buttons on it. Sure my mom loved finding clothes with no buttons on them.

.

9. I wanted to dress like Clarissa from Clarissa Explains It All and I wanted the Rachel haircut, even though I was too young to watch friends.

.

10. After I saw Lindsay Lohan wearing blue nail polish in The Parent Trap, I immediately bought some and wore it all summer.

.

Wasn't I a special kid? haha
