LAST Tip for Dummies: How to NOT Miss Someone: Lesson 5 (FINALLY)

Missing a person(s) is never any fun.

TIP #5.

Exercise the power of positive thinking!!!

Example?

Ugh.

Do I have to take the baby for another walk?

Sigh*

Well, at least if I get hungry I can nibble on this delicious,

tender, little-packed-with-protein thigh.

SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Need another example?

When you are looking at something?

A banana?

Your bike?

The hair on your own face?

Try to appreciate and notice the little things.

(a.k.a. all those little details that we NEVER really spend

time looking at...appreciate those imperfections)

Taken at an art gallery in Istanbul, last summer.

Almost missed the details because I was too "busy" trying to 

RUSH through all the different exhibits - hah!

Another example you say?

Well, how many times have you HAD to work when the sky

is bright blue and the sun is shining high?

It sucks.

It sucks balls.

So why not pick a CUTE, COMFY, COZY area to work 

with some green around you?

And for my final example of positive thinking 

helping you NOT miss people(s)

(Because let me tell you IT SUCKS to miss people when

you are actually with PEOPLE you love)

Double Sigh*

When with a bunch of kids in the forest, remember to look...

...UP!!!!!

Because you can MISS things when you don't look up!!!

That concludes my silly-tips from Lozzalu.

FREE OF CHARGE.

SO...yeah.

Back to normal life blogging.

HAH.

Tips for Dummies: How to NOT Miss Someone: Lesson 4

Missing a person(s) is never any fun.

TIP #4.

Surround yourself with people under the age of 7 years old.

(Preferably as MANY as possible)

WHY?

Because those little farts 

will keep you BUSY all day and all night!!!

Example?

It starts with a SLIP and SLIDE...

Which then turns into MUD slide....argh!

(Psssst - notice where that cute little skirt is from!?!?)

The deer didn't even like the mud, 

she sat FAR-FAR away from the "Mud-slide"

So then EVERYONE needs a bath.

And of course, that requires bubbles so let's use all the bubble bath liquid, shall we?

Sigh*

Awesome.

Then there are the walks...the "baby" walks.

(A.k.a. I can only get him to stop crying if we walk before bed)

The last time this happened, we walked for two hours.

Ohhh right.

Never forget the baby-carrier. 

NEVER!!!

(I have never been so sore the following day)

To sum up?

Lauren, do you miss anyone?

Who me? Miss who? What!?!

WAIT, come again?

Miss WHO?!?

BA - HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!

You won't even have time to think.

BOOM.

Tips for Dummies: How to NOT Miss Someone: Lesson 3

Missing a person(s) is never any fun.

So what can you do to make the time go by?

TIP #3.

Tape/produce/write or star-in a cooking show with your SISTER!

Every year Rhiannon and I get together and have a little cooking/food critic show.

Always crazy FUN but hard WORK!

This is the latest show that Rhiannon and I put together,

again it took HOURS to tape.

Why?

Because Rhiannon is a bit of a camera hog and 

she has to have her hair just right!

Ugh.

THIS IS PROOF!!!

She did that on PURPOSE!

Always HOGGING all the camera time.

UGGGGH sisters!!!

And when I tried to explain how I felt and how this hurt my feelings, 

you know what her response was?

So much attitude.

Pfffft. 

Little sisters are the worst!

(Technically we are twins but I am TEN MINUTES OLDER!!!!)

PART 1 - GLUTEN FREE GIRLS

Time to clean up set and get new hair and MAKE-UP done!

As always, Rhiannon was so-so difficult!

PART 2: QUINOA WEIRDNESS

Rhiannon and I taste test KALE-QUINOA salad....

and last but not least...DESSERT ANYONE!?!?!?

PART 3: BOSSY BOOTS

Although we have our disagreements on the show, pretty sure there is nothing but love

between Rhiannon and I.

(The proof is in photos below)

Maybe those AREN'T the best examples

however, 

I can't help it if she resents me because I am CLEARLY the 

older,

and much wiser,

sister!!!

To sum up?

To NOT miss someone, I suggest 

starring, 

producing,

writing,

and eating in your own cooking show.

(Preferably not with your jealous twin sister although she makes me

smile throughout the whole process)

LOVE YOU RHIANNON and THANK YOU!!!

Tips for Dummies: How to NOT Miss Someone: Lesson 2

Missing a person(s) is never any fun.

So how to get around that nagging ache?

TIP #2.

Start going out with friends like it's your job.
(Between workouts of course!)

Find ANYONE...

and EVERYONE to hang out with!

From the cool cats...

 To cool dogs...
(of course!!!)

To EVEN some of the not so cool people...

...but you keep them around because they are mildly interesting!

And some?

Well, they are really NOT that interesting at all!

Sigh*

If only I could charge for all this GREAT advice!!!

MOU-hahahahhah!

Keep checking-in, Tip #3 tomorrow!

Tips for Dummies: How to NOT Miss Someone: Lesson 1

Missing a person(s) is never any fun.

Why?

Because "it" (the feels) often don't go away.

It's like a nagging itch.

Worse than an itch, 
it's like catching POISON IVY!

That stuff is brutal because it's EXTRA itchy and you really cannot scratch that stuff.

Absolutely not, no scratching!!!
It spreads and scabs and pus leaks out....GROSS!!!

(And yeah, I've done it and indeed it starts to spread everywhere
and I MEAN EVERYWHERE!!!)

So, 

what to-do,WHAT-TO-DO Lauren!?!

FIVE TIPS to forget that person(s) 
you miss - Absolutely FREE!

One per blog post  to help you overcome your misfortune 
of not having your loved one(s) near.

(Guaranteed to work or your $$$ back)

TIP #1.

Exercise like it's your job.

Pardon?

What did you say?

YUP.

YOU HEARD ME!

Find a hill that looks like this.

Both when you look UP and when you look...

DOWN....HAH!

Perhaps even give the monster (a.k.a. hill)

a name like...?

Bertha - perrrrfect!

Giving the hill a name, makes it more personal.

So that way, when you are fighting (or dying)

your way up that mountain you can really take it out on Bertha!

Calling her all sorts of names and getting upset that she

is attacking you so.

Remember, 

the hill needs to be so high and so long that 

it makes you want to close your eyes and look away.

(See example below) 

How much you can really 

MISS or THINK

of that "other" person(s) when you are trying 

to survive the pain that Bertha is putting you through?

That's what I thought.

And with a steady heart rate in between 168  - 176

(Maxed out at 182...the fourth time up!)

you won't have time (or perhaps consciousness)

to think about anything else!

So...yeah.

Super-great idea Lauren.

PUMPED to hear your other ideas.

Ummm...riiiiiiiight.
