Give it up

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 thinking about the giving spirit, I got a little present on my doorstep this week.
No it wasn't a puppy, man, car, coffee, or Jillian Michaels

It was CLOTHES!

Yes that's right, clothes. Where did I get them? From Nordstroms :)
There is a Nordstroms in Wyoming? Maybe, but no where near me.
I got a gift card from my big wonderful bro for Christmas (the present that keeps on giving).
Spend 4 delightfully fulfilling hours on their website and found these little gems...

Sexy and sophisticated...you are a bit jealous, I can feel it.

Michael Kors....now I KNOW you are. Don't worry, this fabric mixed with the dry Wyoming air makes me a walking electric shock....but I look good doing it.

This pretty little number is going to give me some trouble. I have no idea where to wear this in Wyoming....Its a bit rugget out here.

Same problem with this one too. I'll probably wear it to melissa and jake's wedding. Going to have to pull out the spanx for this one...but I do look like a sexy secretary, only my life's dream.

Give Give Give, you will always be appreciated for it, even if you can't tell.

I'll appreciate you :)

New Year, Better Andrea

My name is Andrea and I am a struggling 32 (nearly 33) year old woman. I am not married, have no children, no pets, and no real responsibilities. Yet, I cannot for the life of me, get my act together. I have a decent job that barely covers my bills. I have an apartment downtown that I love, but struggle to keep clean. I eat whatever I want whenever I want, even though my body is begging me to stop. I never exercise.  I drink alcohol nearly every weekend, to excess. I am a statistic. I am like every other wandering millennial.  I want to do better, I want to be a better and more healthy version of myself. I'm not publishing this stuff. I'm not expecting anyone to ever read this actually. I just want to write it down and declare it to myself. ANDREA... BE BETTER. I want to give myself little goals. Not goals for the future, but goals for right now. So that I can see in a week, a month, or a year from now that I was able to be better. My goals for this week: Actually

Valentine's Day....because, February

I have really uninteresting opinions about this specific holiday. I like it and hate it all at once. It's very confusing. Valentine's Day pros: Chocolate everything. I'm not a huge chocolate person, but if you want to feed me chocolate covered raisins/peanut butter/strawberries/bread, I probably will put it in my mouth. It's on a Wednesday this year. Hump day. Beautiful. I get to buy cheesy valentines for my friends and family. It's not like I can find WWE related stationary at Walgreens all year round. I have to take advantage while I can.  Gives you a reason to get a skanky hotel room with a hot tub in it. Never did that, but it sounds awesome.  I like making a big deal about dumb stuff...especially if it gives me a reason to drink prosecco with frozen berries in it.  Valentine's Day cons: For some reason, I am convinced I will receive an enormous edible arrangement. This has yet to happen. I'm not sure I even want it to, but there you go.

an uncomfortable clothing choice

For some unknown reason, Jorts have been the topic of many conversations lately. Jorts = Jean shorts. [GUEST NOTE: "Jorts” – a combination of the words “jean” and “shorts” – are used to describe the somewhat hideous attire often sported by NASCAR aficionados, Green Bay Packer fans, men over 40, and men who probably ought to be over 40. If you wear jorts, you probably have minimal relationships with women. Sometimes jorts are accessorized with a lovely cellphone belt clip and a braided leather belt, but not always, as sometimes the jorts-wearer lets the jorts speak for themselves.] I think it's because of the White Trash Birthday Bash that I recently had. Not saying that only 'white trash' wear jorts . . . just a lot of people that attended the party had them on. [GUEST NOTE: I can count the number of acquaintances I know whom habitually wear jean shorts on one finger. Although, I’m fairly certain this summer will bring more to light. HINT: Missouri.] I don'
