xmas homes

Co-authoring has struck again.
This time with my little sister.
Topic: Christmas day...
It's a doozy.

This year for Chrstmas, my 'big' present was my flight home to Michigan.
So I was basically ready to get nothing for Christmas, which was totally fine with me.
But Christmas morning, there were presents under the tree (joy!)
Such presents included:
  1. Soap from my sister
  2. Soap from my mother (a coincidence I hope)
  3. a necklace from my parents
  4. a cozy workstation (it's basically like one of those drawing boards that you can set on your lap, with an added cup holder)
  5. stocking stuffers
It was awesome.
My parents also had a nice Christmas...mom and dad both shelled out for each other...it was cute.

After the present exchange, our family has a tradition of going to the movies on Christmas eve or day...depending on the year.
This year we went and saw TROOONNNNN.
In IMAX 3D. It was a cool movie, but i think it was a lot cooler looking because I saw it in IMAX.
Before the movie, and after the movie, Alli and I kept saying "TROONNNN" like they do on the previews. It was funny...mostly to us.

After the movie, we went to XO. It's a chinese restaurant.
I felt like we were in the 'Christmas Story'
My mom kept threatening to order a whole duck.
She didn't...wasn't gutsy enough.
I ended up getting fire inferno chicken.
Actually it was this mango chicken dish that lit my mouth on fire for the next 45 mins.
But it was good. I have the left overs....will probably eat them in the near future if I remember to.

We eventually make our way home in time for Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. Both of which I kicked ass in tonight....thank you very much.
Then I waxed Alli and my mom's eyebrows.
So overall, a pretty successful holiday here.

Alli:
ehhh Andrea thinks she way too kool 4 skool but the truth is she is just average coolness mostly.... and she didn't kick total ass in Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy she just got like five questions right, and it seems like she kicked ass because me and my mother's response time is a bit quibbly (slow) and so we missed every question. DONT BELIEVE EVERYTHING SHE TELLS YOU SHERIDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
on a lighter note....wanna know what I got for christmas!
1. Soap
3. razor
4. finger light (this is serious...i got this....it makes me feel like a wizard when i wear it...)
4. your mom (jk)
5. a rollers8
6. you
7. hippo
8. your dad
9. a GPS
I get lost a lot so I think I'm just going to find a way to attach my GPS to my body so I can navigate my way to class. It will be useful with the new semester coming up.
I had wine at chinese christmas todai.....
I don't know if you know but I'm recently 21.
I too also got a cozy wrk station for xmas...but I knew I was getting it bc I saw it in the closet when I was in my parents room stealing my mom's socks.
I saw tron.....it was trying to be like a futuristic big labowski...TRON!!
bye

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...
