Sheridan Trails

I am getting an early birthday present this year. Well come to think of it, I've gotten a few. BFF Abby got me the pioneer woman cookbook (thanks again. you knew I would love it even though I don't cook...true friend). I got a birthday card from g-ma and pa about a week ago. And my mom decided to be ultra cruel to me, knowing I have no self control, and sent my my bday package early. I got it on Tuesday. I'm not allowed to open it til tomorrow...I kinda did though. Only one thing got really opened in the process (thanks for the gift card!). But I am not talking about any of those. The early birthday present that I am most excited about is my brother! Yes, brother Joe...he is coming to visit me on my birthday! Even though it is slightly inconvienent, and far away, and not really that much fun, he is still doing it! I'm beyond excited. Nothing is worse than celebrating your birthday alone. I mean c'mon, I just moved here a month ago, I dont want to have to drag the ne...

While I sit here eating my porridge (oatmeal to normal people), I am contemplating life's issues. Where will I be a year from now? What does love got to do with it? Is there God? Why don't big girls cry? It's been a morning filled with unanswered questions and moderately hot breakfast soup. Then I got to thinking again. The Christmas season is over, but that doesn't mean the giving spirit isn't. If you have been living under a rock that does not get cable then you probably don't know about the earthquake in Haiti. Everyone else should. I have been completely surprised by how devastating one natural disaster can be. Complete destruction. I have also been in serious awe at how quickly support and money has been raised to aid all the people there. I hope that the people are receiving swift and complete care, but I, Andrea from Wyoming, am so detached from the situation, that all I can really do is hope. There is no gentle transition from that to this, sorry. Also ...

Well I have been in VERY good mood lately. Why might you ask? One word....ZUMBA Let it roll off your tongue ZUUUUUMMMMM BA ZUUUUUMMMM BA ZuMbA..... Ok that was a little excessive. Anyway, it is fantastic. Booty shaking sweaty dance moves that kill my body but make me so so happy. After my monday, wednesday, and friday zumba classes I am usually in a fantastic mood. Yesterday, I came back to my abode and was dying of thirst (zumba induced thirst) and was hankering for some cool sweet diet coke. Is it a sin to drink something so delicious?? It feels like it and it makes me love it even more :) I opened my refridgerator (where I keep my diet coke) and you might be surprised by what I saw, I sure was.... That's right... half frozen diet coke My fridge is a double agent...it is REALLY a freezer.... EVERYTHING freezes in it. Everything. Ok, well I'm going to watch the proposal and drink my ice cold diest coke. Good night all!

Most of the time I feel like I have nothing to talk about when I write on here. That's why I have been massively slacking on updating it. Today I am going to write about something extremely boring...the weather. I'm sure that everyone and their mother has in some way experienced the "deep freeze" of 2010 in some way. Well let me just tell you, Wyoming got her fair share of ridiculously cold weather. On Wednesday night, I swear it got down to -30 degrees....that didn't even factor in the windchill. It was complete arctic tundra here. I swear if I can survive the winter here I should get a medal....at least. I might even make myself a certificate off of publisher and hang it on my wall. It would be a worthy occasion to celebrate. What's funny though, is that I am not sure if I would rather have the freezing temperatures or the massive snow. In Michigan a legitimate snow storm would include 10 or more inches. Here, they call getting 3 inches a snow storm...I'...

The holidays are behind us a new year is ready to unfold. Not going to lie, I think I'm really going to miss 2009, it was a great year. I mean it was the first year I spent out of school. I had a great house in GR. A fun job at a salon where I got to meet some pretty amazing people and learned what it was like to be spoiled (sorry to whoever my future husband is). I had some pretty fantastic memories from 2009. I am very excited for 2010 too. I mean look at it, when you write 2010 it even looks cool. Anyway, if I was a psychic, I would say that in 2010 I find the man of my dreams who coincidentally happens to be a cowboy millionaire explorer, do an awesome job at my new job, win the mega-million lotto (I guess I would actually have to buy a lotto ticket for that to happen), meet pioneer woman, lose weight and be offered to model for victoira's secret (I would kindly refuse, I have higher standards than that), and maybe learn how to cook well. I think that's a pretty good ...
