MY PROBLEM WITH ‘NO PROBLEM’
MY PROBLEM WITH ‘NO PROBLEM’ By: Lauren Anderson I do it. You do it. We all do it. We all use the phrase “No problem” all the time. And recently it’s started to bug me a little. But why? WHY?!?!? Let me explain… I was getting my groceries at a fancy grocery store. I…

RAGE CLEANING
RAGE CLEANING By: Lauren Anderson Yeah. Okay. I’ll admit it. Sometimes I get mad. Okay okay- you got me. It’s not sometimes. It’s a lot. I actually might have a bonafide “temper”. Like when something upsets me, the first place I go is anger. Once I wade through the anger, I can usually get to…

WALK AND TALK O’CLOCK
WALK AND TALK O’CLOCK By: Lauren Anderson One of the things I’m learning, and I keep learning, is the that there are many avenues into loving your body. That there is no one “right” workout program, or way to eat, or even one correct path to forgive ourselves or our bodies. Because what feels good…

AN EMBARRASSMENT OF GREEN
AN EMBARRASSMENT OF GREEN By: Lauren Anderson Do you know the phrase “An embarrassment of riches”? I’ve always liked that saying, because it implies you have so much abundance it could potentially be embarrassing. What a thought!

THE HORSE AND THE PLASTIC CHAIR
THE HORSE AND THE PLASTIC CHAIR. By: Lauren Anderson I used to be a manager at a Toy Store. I think I’ve talked about it before. (I think I told the story about the play vacuum? Anyways…) I was a good manager, if I do say so myself, and I LOVE TOYS. As far as…

THE DIAPHANEITY OF LIGHT
THE DIAPHANEITY OF LIGHT By: Lauren Anderson Hey hey! It’s that time of year again when I can’t sleep! WOOHOO!!! I’m being sarcastic, of course. (I think you could probably glean that… but I know that sarcasm rarely translates to the written page, so here we are.) Ahem…ANYWAYS. I hate it when this happens to…

A CROSSFIT-SIZED CAPER
A CROSSFIT-SIZED CAPER By: Lauren Anderson Last week I went to the zoo with my buddy Matt and his two kids. It was a great time, and the moose was out in all her glory. And I don’t know why I feel this way, but I always think when the moose is out, that’s good…

ATOMS OR ORDER
ATOMS OR ORDER By: Lauren Anderson So… yesterday I was walking downtown in the morning and there was construction by the building where I work. And not just regular construction— I’m talking Warner Brothers cartoon-style jackhammering in the street. Men in hard hats shouting things and clacking pipes. That kinda noise. The typical sound of…

3 A.M. GRATITUDE
3 A.M. GRATITUDE By: Lauren Anderson It was my birthday last Sunday. People that know me, know that I love birthdays. I love yours, mine, the next door neighbor’s kid, the guy at the gas station. I love em. I’m EXACTLY that annoying kid that tries their hardest to make it a “birthday month”. (I’m…

THE EMPTY CLAY POT
THE EMPTY CLAY POT By: Lauren Anderson I’ve never worked out so hard that it made me throw up. I mean, I’ve worked out so hard that I got a little dizzy. And a few times I did feel pretty nauseous. But here’s the deal gang– once I felt nauseous–I STOPPED. Don’t get me wrong.…
