My Past

I was just thinking this morning.
About my past mostly.
I did/believed some weird things.
  1. When I learned the "rules" about the American flag. I seriously thought that if that flag EVER touched the ground, the army/military/airforce/marines/God were going to strike me down for violating the flag. I also thought that if it wasn't properly illuminated at night the same thing would happen.
  2. I thought I was seriously dying the first time I got my period. I screamed..loudly. (that one might be tmi)
  3. I played serious Barbies until I was 12. That seems a little old to me.
  4. I wrote in 4th grade that I wanted to be a vet. I really only like dogs, so I have no idea what I was thinking. Birds scare the living daylights out of me.
  5. I had a fish tank in my room when I was younger. I never took care of it. I had it for about 2 years. All the original fish I had in it were still alive. I was sick of having it, so I flushed them all down the toilet one day. Alive. Ha, that's terrible.
  6. I played about every single community ed sport offered. Joe was a natural athlete that liked doing everything, so I think my parents thought I would like to play everything too. Not the case. I quit them all. I REALLY sucked at t-ball, decently bad at soccer, I won't even tell you what I was like at gymnastics.
  7. I took full advantage of my shadow (aka little sister Alli) when I was younger. I am still shocked she even talks to me now.
  8. I used to make up dance routines to Disney sing-a-longs with my sister, then video record them. I really don't ever want to see those tapes.
  9. I was such a picky eater when I was younger. I used to have to sit at the table and wait to leave until I had eaten everything. This usually got old realllll fast, so I would just scoop whatever was on my plate and stick it into about a million napkins. I thought that would make it look like I ate everything and just got really messy doing it.
  10. I had braces when I was younger. I also had an expander on the top of my mouth. This thing was supposed to make more room for my teeth. I gave me a gap between my front two teeth that could fit two quarters. No joke, I tested it.

Ok I think that is enough embarrassing stories for today.

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

Image
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'
