my new thang

i'm a joiner.
it's not really because i like to try new things. i do, but that's not really the main reason i am a joiner.
i'm a joiner because i am constantly trying ot find new people that think i am funny.
i am very selfish that way. please tell me i am funny.
anywho.
i have never been good at sports.
or acting.
or singing.
or painting.
i have no idea how to scrapbook.
but i have joined numerous clubs/organizations/teams in which i have had to do all of the above.
yes, i joined a scrapbooking club.
i was in the easter play at my church....for many years. until i realized i sucked at acting.
i thankfully wasn't in choir at school, but if there was a karaoke club, you can bet i would join it.
i took about 7 art classes in school. i think i got good grades in them bc i was "most improved".
always remember, start out TERRIBLY, then strive to be ok.

my new adventure is baseball.
yes, i have joined a co-rec softball team. i'm right outfield. basically the ball never comes to me, unless it is a left handed batter. and usually in that case, they can never get the ball in my vicinity. so i am just out there looking pretty.
the only good thing that i can do is hit the ball. for some reason God blessed me with maginally good eye-hand coordination. it could also be my intense dedication to be the next serena williams on the tennis court that have given me such awesome skillz. i'm not sure. either way, i have been able to successfully hit the ball at bat, who cares if it is slow pitch. i feel like i am helping my team out.
also, my team has an awesome name: Quik Sac Orange Crush. we are sponsored by a gas station in town called quik sac. YES. hahaha
it also helps that my teammates don't really care if we win or lose. and we have a healthy record of 0-5. i think we might win one game this season.

    Andrea...I think we might not win one this season. But it isn't about winning anymore, it is all about seeing how much fun/annoying we can be on the field.

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: Actuall...

poor kids are the best kids

I seriously love co-authoring. I do. It rocks. Today, I’m rocking this post with Carrie (bio below). We talk most everyday. About whatever. Recently we have been talking about being poor. I am currently incredibly poor. And have been for the past year. I also grew up slightly poor. We weren’t living in a cardboard box or anything, but we were poor enough that we thought garage saleing in the summer was back to school shopping. Co-author: I grew up in a cardboard box. Or something very similar. Double-wide trailer, ie two single wide trailers of different lengths pieced together by my father, which had no insulation and only one fire place to heat the entire place. Garage saleing to us was top-of-the-line. We were more accustomed to the land-fill version of school shopping. I like to think of my childhood and family as "resourceful" as opposed to "poor". So this post is really going to be in honor of my awesome parents (mainly my mother)(and Carries entire family who...

Numbers

I honestly think no one ever reads this blog. That makes it a bit easier to write about things that are honestly on my mind. I am not a very deep person. Or I at least try not to be. I love living a stress free life. It's very sad, I realize, to you people that are deep and critical thinkers. Don't confuse my stress-free shallow existance to being apathetic. Trust me, I'm not. I work for AmeriCorps and want there to be good in the world and I am doing my part to make that good happen. Now that I have justified myself sufficently, I will let you in on a little convo my friend and I had this morning. I am not even joking, we actually discussed this. (I was going to keep my friend a mystery, but under further consideration, I figured everyone would know who this person was anyway. If you guessed Carrie, you were right.) My/My friend's theory on numbers 1= The skinny one. No one likes her because she is bossy and wants to be the leader all the time. She is the attention hog...
