I started this blog a year ago today.  I was supposed to be working on final projects and packing up my dorm room.  This blog is a product of my procrastination.  Whoops. This past year has had its ups and downs.  Mostly, I’ve been trying to figure where I fall in this post-school world and [...]

So right now, as I type, my overflowing hamper is shrieking from across the room, “Annnndrea, wash these clothes, pleassseeee.”  I know, hampers are usually quiet, but push them far enough and even the strong, silent type burst out on occasion.  Sorta like Audrey II from Little Shope of Horrors, but not trying to eat people.  Just [...]

I love trees in bloom. Friday nights have become my re-charging night.  I’m so exhausted from the rest of the week that I just pass out cold.  Too bad, because the gallery crawl is tonight, but Art All Night is tomorrow, and I will be going to that.  Free art and music, my favorite kinds.  Don’t [...]

O hai blawg! I swear I did not forget about you.  I’ve just been very exhausted and slightly lazy.  I know that not knowing what I’ve been up to is just killing you, isn’t it?  Let me fix that. – Saturday night consisted of beers, singalongs, Philly sandwiches, and belly laughs.  Fantastic. – Brunch on Sunday with Jennie, Rachel [...]

So let’s say you’re making this vegetarian soup for your mother, who is sick on the couch with a stuffy nose and cough congestion thing that you may have passed on to her.  Not on purpose.  Germs just suck like that.

If the robins and sunshine weren’t enough of an indicator that the spring has hit, the construction should be a good reminder to smack Pittsburghers in the face.  Oh, PennDOT, you’re back into our lives once again. Coming home from work on Monday, I hit three traffic jams.  It took me an extra forty-five minutes [...]

Last night, I was all ready to write a fantastic blog post (of course), when exhaustion totally bitch slapped me from outer space.  I couldn’t keep my eyes open or even my head up. This was eight o’clock at night.  I was out cold by 8:30pm and didn’t stir until my alarm went off at 5:30am. [...]

I am going with her to see this band and this band too. while wearing this shirt. Forty-nine cents, thanks St. Vincent De Paul! I don’t know why I look sorta pissed off, because I’m very exciiiiitttteddddd.

The chill and quiet of waking up early on a spring morning when the day holds nothing but possibility and a cup of coffee.
