I'm baaaaack!

Holla! I know, I know. I can't believe it has been SO long since I've last blogged! Let's just say my life has been a bit complicated in the past few months. It's allll good now though, mofo's. I am back and in full form. Better than ever. Full force! Woo hoo! (Yeah, not sure why I am so hyped up right now. It's 10pm and I'm losered out on the couch, WHERE is all this energy coming from?!)
I decided to take it easy on a Saturday night. Not necessarily by choice though. I had 2 root canals on Thursday and there's a big massive infection inside my mouth the size of Texas. Yes, I'm aware that's probably too much information. Sorry boutcha! So I'm currently taking antibiotics and I can't drink while I'm on them. Booooo! That's probably good for me though. Lately, I feel like I've just been on the booze train entirely too much. It's a good little 5 day detox period for ole Andi's (Yes, I've recently started going by the nickname Andi. I like it!) liver.
So I'm hanging out and there is nothing good on tv. Lame. I'm currently watching How I Met Your Mother. I'm not 100% sold on this show though. I don't know how it's gotten so much hype. It's actually pretty gay. Sorry I know that is probably not politically correct but I mean no harm by that statement. I wish it were earlier in the day so I could go hang out at a coffee shop and type on my laptop. That's going to be my new hobby. I've decided that I really need to get back into writing because it's a great release. And I really like hanging out in coffee shops, typing. I just feel so alternative chic. :-)
Alright yo's well I know this blog was not anything uber exciting but I just wanted to get back on the blogger wagon. It feels good! I promise to start spending more time on here and updating you on my fab fab fabulous *sarcasm* life. :-)
Toodles, loves!!

Life Lessons by Andrea S. Yeager

Life Lesson #1: Make sure to laugh every single day.

Laugh at yourself. Laugh at your lover. Laugh at your best friend's corny jokes. Laughter truly is the best medicine. I genuinely believe that this is what keeps us young. Not only does laughter make you feel good inside BUT it also helps keep your stomach muscles strong and tight. Ka-ching, double bonus!! :-) Laughter is contagious too. Some would claim that happy, giggly people are not respected or taken as serious as Conservative Carl but I agree to disagree.

Life Lesson #2: Believe in karma.

I 100% believe in karma. When you do good deeds, good things will come back to you. Take things as they come. We can't always change what life throws our way but we can change our own outlook and the way we handle life's challenges and crises. Have a bit of faith. Something good your way will come. And everything, EVERYTHING in life happens for a reason. It's what makes us stronger human beings in the end.

Life Lesson #3: Eat ice cream.

Just not the whole damn pint. Or whatever food it is that you ultimately like to indulge in whether it be pizza, cupcakes (my personal favorite), french fries, etc. Share it with your partner, cubemate, bestie or frenemy. Indulging in a little treat helps keep you happy. And it feels even better to share because someone else gets to partake in the indulgence with you. Something about sharing that special little treat is a great bonding experience. Try it. You'll be surprised how true this is! :-)

Life Lesson #4: Hold your head up high and show 'em who's boss!

And that would be you! Have you ever noticed how many people look your way when you walk confidently down the street with your head held high? So go ahead: pop in those earphones, crank up Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time", and smile away. Go on wit your bad self!

Life Lesson #5: Make your bed daily.

Nothing feels as great as coming home from a long day of work/working out and falling into a freshly made bed. Ahh, bliss. And make sure to wash those sheets 1-2x a month! Fresh clean sheets makes the feeling THAT MUCH BETTER.

Life Lesson #6: Take time for yourself.

Whether it's a 20-minute power run; sipping an am coffee while reading the newspaper; writing in your blog, make sure you do something that is dedicated to YOU! It's a great feeling. We often forget how quickly time passes by. Don't fall victim to this. The biggest and only regret I think one can have is that of not taking advantage of the little things in life. So get up from your desk for 15-20 minutes, those documents will still be there when you get back. And you'll come back with a fresh head on your shoulders.

To be continued....

Here Comes Baby...

And no, the title of this blog is probably not conducive to your line of thinking right now. I am not "with child." I repeat, I am NOT with child. Phew...

I am actually dedicating this blog to my colleague, Elaine. Yes that is actually her real name. And in case you were wondering she did give me the approval to blog about her and use her real name. I did offer her the opportunity to choose her own pseudo name; however, my blog readers thank you in advance, E! :-)

Now Miss Elaine is 23-years old and quite the interesting little character. I find there's never truly a dull moment when she is around. I; also being a little bit of a drama queen, love when the girl takes center stage. The following you are about to read takes place on a Friday evening in the office. (The same office where just a bit before I had shut the door to perform mid-afternoon jumping jacks... I told you we were a special breed at work!)

Elaine (while plucking eyebrows) - "So, I'm thinking about selling my eggs for $8,000 and getting liposuction."
Andrea - "I don't think that's a good idea." (I am SOOO playing Captain Obvious in this screenplay right now.)
Elaine - "Why not?"
Andrea - "Well I don't think there's anything wrong with selling your eggs but only if your doing it for the right reasons. I'm not quite sure that lipo qualifies. Besides why do you want lipo? Your not even fat. " (She's not.)
Elaine - (PS - I don't remember if these are the exact words or not but hey, it's my blog and I write what I want to now, don't I?!?!) :-) "It's just always been a lifelong dream of mine." (Yeah, I kinda think I made that line up... sorry E-dogg...)

Cute little intern comes in. Whom, might I also add, has probably only met us a handful of times.
I forget her name. We'll call her Viola.

Andrea - "Ask Viola if it's a good idea."
Elaine - "Sooo I'm thinking that I want to sell my eggs and get lipo."
Viola - "Your not even fat."
Andrea - "Thank YOU!"
Viola - "And what if you gain weight again?"
Elaine - "Well I'll just sell more eggs."
Andrea - "And it becomes a vicious cycle?! So do you want to have kids yourself someday?"
Elaine - (with the most incredulous look ever I might add!) "Not for a loooooong time!!"
Andrea - "Yeah, but if you start giving away all your eggs, I think it might be harder to reproduce in the long run. You need to think long term." (Hayzeus, I have truly become a practical grown up."
Andrea - "AND. Don't you just think it will be weird knowing that there's some mini-you out there running around?"
Elaine - "Yeah but look I will be helping someone who can't have a baby."
Andrea - "Can I blog about you???"

End scene.

And today I get a text that says... 'blog this - surrogate mothers get 25K. sooo tempted.'

i haven't blogged in over a month!

un.be.lievable! Seriously, I have no idea how time has managed to slip by and I have not taken the time to update the old blog-a-roo. I feel like I've definitely had some blogworthy moments between today and Jan 26th (last blog date) too but honestly I think most of them are moot at this point. Grrrr!
I'm not really sure why I chose today to revamp the blogging skills either. This weekend, Kevin has been away for a conference in Indy. I had a nice long 3-day weekend where I did absolutely nothing! Oh, sure I went for a nice little run here and there and I did a little shopping but I have not been this lazy for 3 days in a row in a long time. I feel like I've gained probably 76+ pounds being a lazy sloth. I have to say I am ready to go back to work and get my normal lifestyle routine kicking again. I say, "Bring it on, Monday!"
Anyhoo, so I'm contemplating how to spend the rest of my Sunday. It's rainy and dreary outside. Boo! The weather in San Francisco has been hit or miss lately. For instance, the other night after work I went for a run and ended up having to shed my fleece and was running in a tank top. At 7pm!! That is insane! And then on Thursday, it was hella cold. And now, it's rainy and dreary. BOOOOGUS!
Ok well considering I am being extremly lame-o, I am going to cut this blog post down. I just felt the need to let you all know that I am alive and kicking and I VOW to upkeep my blog better in the next few weeks!
Plan a trip to come visit me so I have some exciting stories to blog about!!! :-))))

My boyfriend just informed me...

that today is the most depressing day of the year. Refreshing! Today was a yucky Monday. I had a long weekend of boozing. Friday night we had a leaving party for my co-worker, Carla. The boozefest started around 5.30pm at work and ended for this cat around 11.30 pm. I woke up on Saturday with my pj's on backwards and a giant bruise on my hip. Don't ask... no idea...
Saturday was uh-mazing! I was uber hungover but I had scheduled a massage which I had a gift certificate for. It was just what the masseusey-q ordered!! After my sweet rubdown (happy ending not included) I went across the street to Macy's (my motherland) to shop around and wait for Kevo to come join me. I really wanted to buy some Vera Wang Sheer Veil perfume (gift idea, anyone? anyone?...) but unfortunately they were sold out of that kind. I started talking to the nice little boy named Omar and I told him that I was really disappointed when I heard they discontinued the Vera Wang Look. Nice boy says hold on one second. Goes over and comes back with this little gift sized perfume and lotion box! Here, he says, enjoy!! Ka-ching!
Saturday night rolls around and I thoroughly was not looking forward to going out as I was still mega hungover from Friday. We had a friend that we met in Dublin who was in town for the weekend. (Shout out to Aisling, woot woot!!) So we were trying to meet up with her. We met up with a couple of friends at this bar that is quite possibly my new favorite place. It's called Maye's and they played hella good music! Was dancing the night away and then we went to some dive bar around the corner to meet up with Aisling and her mates. Sometimes when I go out, I really enjoy drinking malibu rum and pineapple as was the case this evening. I asked the bartender for one and he gave me a half grin, half smirk and served me up my sweet libation! I just really love fruity drinks and they go down so easy esp when your having trouble giving in to the hair of the dog that bit you!! Anyhoo, it was good fun and it was great to meet up with a friend from across the pond!
The next day we met for brunch and had a bit of wine before coming home and calling it a weekend. I had to work hella early this morning bc I had to open the restaurant so I thought I'm buzzed, it's been a long weekend I'll go to bed early. Ok early was like 8.45 and NEVER a good idea to try and go to bed that early again!!! I woke up at 11.45pm and was up until 4 in the morning!!!!!! SO annoying. I finally fell back asleep but had to wake up at 5am for work. It was horrible. My boss is like you look really tired today, lol. Thanks Chief! :-)
So it's been a not so exciting day and this rain really is making me feel depressed. Plus I am super white. Why won't the sunshine come out already?!?!?! I took a couple benadryl and am hoping that I will pass out in the next hour so I can try to wake up and work out at 4am. Yes, I understand that is entirely too ambitious but a girl's gotta try, right... Hope you all had a lovely weekend. Try to cheer up on the most depressing day of the year. Or just enjoy a nice glass of Cab. After all, life is good, eh!

In the land of unlimited bloody mary's...

And all I'm really craving right now is a giant pint of Bulmers. Every once in a while I just really miss the whole Irish socialization setting. Every Friday (and usually 1-2 other days of the week as well) after work, we'd nip over to the pub right next door and indulge in a few pints of the healthy stuff. So typically Irish. The bartender's name was Patsy. And he was marrying his coworker, Elaine. Such a different scene there.
It took me quite a while to get used to this place called Bowe's. I remember the first time I was there. I don't remember if Kev took me when I went to visit or if it was when I had actually already moved to Dublin. Anyhow, there were 4 of us there. (I can name all 4 if you ask nicely! :-)) And honestly I didn't really enjoy it. Nor the 27+ other times Kev always made me go after work on a Friday or as I said before a couple other days of the week. And then one day, it just felt like home.
By the end of my stay in Dubby, I can imagine I prolly would have gone into Bowe's by myself for a pint. NO. I did not do this. Because you know why. Every time I wanted to go for a drink, I would walk in and almost guaranteed you would see someone you know from the Westin Dublin crew. The humble abode away from abode. (I know, is that even a legit saying???) I guess what I'm saying is that I met some really good people on my stint abroad. And I would have to say that I probably learnt the most and made the closest friends all because of this little place 'where everybody knows your name...'

It's 5am and I wanna go to bed!!

Why do I always feel the need to sing the titles of my blog posts?!?! I guess I'm just that darn cool!! So it's currently 5.37am on a Saturday morning. Flip, bleep, blope, eeeeeeeeeeeeeep! I am so annoyed. I woke up at 4am and haven't been able to fall back asleep. Insomnia is the worst. But I guess I should be thankful that it's Sat so at least I will be able to crawl back into my snuggly little bed when I get the urge. I'm thinking though that maybe I can continue my streak of my 6 @ 6 for 6 fitness routine that I have tried to initiate this week! It consists of a 6 mile run at 6am for 6 days a week. So far, I've made it 2 days in a row. Yay! Well sort of... Day 2, was only a 4-miler! :-) I am still going to count it though. The only thing is; however, is that being a Saturday I don't know if there will be as many people out and about at 6am and I'm a little bit of a pansy so I don't really want to risk my life for a good ole 6am run! My other thought was that maybe I will head over to a coffee shop and start working on this book that I keep saying I am going to write. I can't spoil it so I'm not going to start talking about it in this blog!! :-) Guess I will just have to keep you in suspense!!
Soooo I'm not quite sure what's on the agenda for this weekend. Last night I went for a few bevvies after work, was supposed to go out, came home, changed (and changed my mind) and ended up falling asleep 'round 10pm. Can you say, party animal?!?! 'Party Animal!' Hmmm, maybe that's why I'm up at 5am and it's not actually insomnia. Whatever, sounds cooler when it sounds like you have a disorder/disease. Ew gross, no it doesn't!!!! Anyways, to make a long story short I have no concrete plans for the weekend. Vegas, anyone??? (PS - I don't know what the obsession with Vegas is these days but I'm really jonesing to go!)
You wanna know something funny? So I work in food & beverage and I just discovered yesterday what an arancini is. Shhh, don't tell my boss! :-) It's funny though, I had about a bagillion when we were in Italy. I'm just wondering now what I thought they were called?! Ah, I'm pretty sure I was prolly too busy devouring those lil' guys to care what their name was. And the ones in Roma were totally better than the ones I had at Ducca last night. Hands. Down!
Anyhoo, I feel like I should be semi-productive now that I am up and at'em but I think I am going to go back to bed instead. Screw it, it's Saturday, I say!! Happy Weekend to all!!!!!!!!

Shopper's Delight

After my fun-filled trip to Chi-town (blog to be posted soon... I'm backtracking in my blogs here...) it was time to pack up my one Longchamp bag, return some used boots (they wouldn't fit in my bag and yes I am just a lil' bit ghetto like that!) and hit the road, or shall I say sky, and head back to my Cali life.

High on benadryl I chillaxed next to a Mormon (who kept dropping ass the entire way) and caught up on some Jersey Shore gossip courtesy of Life & Style magazine (such a sucker for stockin up on mags at the airport, I am!) Anyhoo, we get to Salt Lake City just shortly past our scheduled arrival time and after bypassing all the dreamcatcher shops; which was not an easy task either might I add, and get to the connecting terminal for my flight back to Oakland. ONLY to find out the flight was oversold and since I was late, they had already boarded the darn flight and told me I was getting rebooked for the first morning flight once they did the head count and found there were indeed no empty seats. 'That's bollocks, awe shucks!' I shouted. Kidding. Remember I was high on benadryl so I said 'Serious, Clark?' I didn't really mind. They told me they'd pay for my hotel, give me some vouchers for food and 4 hundo worth of Delta credit. Cha-ching!! So myself, Louis and Francois (that's what I just named my Longchamp bag, I think it sounds sophisticated and French just like my bag should be!! :-)) loaded up and headed to the Radisson, Salt Lake City. Classy!

Unfortunately, staying in the Bible belt on a Sunday night does not lead to a very adventurous evening (shoulda hit the slopes!) so I pretty much watched the Simpsons and hit the hay. Waking up early, I make my way back to the airport where I finally get checked in to head back to my humble abode. However, I did get the wondrous opportunity (which I probably would have not had, had I flown back the night before) to peruse the sweet gems available for purchase in the SkyMall magazine. And after all, isn't that mag one of the best perks to flying!?!? I took some pictures of some pretty sweet items that you may want to add to your gift-giving list for next Christmas. Or heck, Valentine's Day is coming up, why don't you throw that loved one a bone and shock them with these gifts that keep on giving on their own!!



If you look closely, the byline says 'This person is able to sleep comfortably in any seat! Can you say the same?' Now come on, WHO wouldn't want to sleep comfortably in any seat with this sweet ass concoction!!!

The next item might I suggest (especially to those prone to constantly losing cell phones... no hints to a certain friend of mine, hmmm... maybe the perfect PUSH present! :-))



'Our Unique Solution to the Misplaced Cell Phone!'

I love how the ad shows the holder only in pink. Are they insinuating that we, women, are more prone to losing cell phones than men are?!?! I think their marketing team may be a little sexist. Jerks!

And lastly which is also quite possibly my favorite item available in the SkyMall mag:



Now this ladder looks like a perfectly feasible option to 'Help keep your family safe!' Dontcha think?!

Oh and a little added bonus... just in case you were ever curious as to what the view looks like flying over Utah!


Twenty Dolla Bills Ya'll!

This is being sung to the tune of that song that goes something along the lines of 'hundred dolla bills y'all' or something like that. I don't quite remember and I'm tone deaf so it probably sounds different in my head than it does in yours! Anyhoo, I just got back from a fabulous, fun-filled weekend in Chicago. I love going back to Chi-town cause I get to see all my fun girlfriends (insert shout out, woot woot!!) And there never seems to be a dull moment when the group of us get together!

Now I initially intended to use this blog to mostly gab about how much fun we had (okay maybe I more than anyone) with a giant fake $20 dollar bill. However, I realized that probably about 50% of my blog followers (ok, 75%) were with me over the weekend and are a lil bit sick and tired of me running around with this thing... so I'll give it a break. (Just a small one though!) For those of you that don't know [GIANT PAUSE - I just said to Kevin 'It's hot in here!!' and made him turn the heater off. Holla, Chicago cold you cured me from this mild winter that I previously thought was freezing!! Thank you!] Back to the giant $20, so I had a really big fake $20 bill that I ran around with all weekend basically asking random clerks/waitresses/friends/anything with a pulse for change, giving it to taxi drivers, and just being completely obnoxious with it. And I have to say it WAS a lot of fun playing with that silly gag!

But now that I've determined that I'm not going to dedicate this blog to my twenty dolla bills adventure, I'm stumped for what to write about for the remainder of the blog! As Tony the Tiger would say 'Grrrrreat!' Seriously, writer's block, uhhh hello! I was just thinking hmm, I'll write about what next is coming up in my life that I am super excited about and ya know what, I just realized I don't have anything that has me super hyped up. Bugger! And that thought just makes me depressed so I decided to put together a little video from my weekend in the windy city! Enjoy!

Cheers to a New Year!

Happy New Year, bloggie world!! I hope you have all managed to recover from a wonderful weekend full of good food, good wine and good friends!
I started the New Year off at work. We have a huge NYE party at the hotel every year and of course, I was working. It was fun though. I still got to dress up in a sparkly dress and we did a champagne toast at midnight (or about 5 minutes after!) Oh and maybe there were some cupcakes involved too... :-)
One of my NY resolutions is to become more sexy this year. I know. It's a little weird. But let me explain myself. I am somewhat of a cute girl however I've recently discovered that I can be quite boyish and not very ladylike. Take for instance a holiday party that I went to at one of Kevin's coworkers place a few weeks ago. I started the evening off with a glass of sparkling wine and then proceeded to switch to beer (consumption of 2) afterwards deciding to move onto a final glass of red wine. Now a ladylike woman would had the glass of sparkling wine (oh I forgot to mention that I had 2... :-/) and then maybe a glass of red wine (2 glasses at max!) Anyhoo so drinking and lunching like a lady is essential to being sexy. I will give you another example as well. I won't go into details cause it's slightly embarrassing but it involves a minor stair incident in really big heels. Sexy women don't trip and get big giant bruises on their wrists. Oh, how I long to be one of those women... :-)
Let's see, I haven't really thought of too many other resolutions that I have just yet. Stay tuned though and I will keep you posted. Anyhoo so after I finished working around 1.30am on NYE, I galloped over to Kev's hotel next door (seriously they are one block apart!) where we stayed overnight cause he was the manager on call for the night. He wouldn't let me drink any beer outta the mini bar though (bully...) I then woke up entirely too early and decided to go all 'pretty woman' and take a bath in the giant bathtub. Lol, I have the most random life! We then went and had an amazing Korean feast for lunch (seriously if you've never had Korean food you are TOTALLY missing out!)
After a great weekend, I am not looking forward to going back to work in the am. Boo! BUT I can't wait for next weekend to get here because I am going to Chicago. Holla!!!!! On that note, gots to go make sure my party pants are all washed and ready....

i had my facial cherry popped...

Yes, I finally gave in to temptation and had a facial. It was UH-mazing! Seriously... I cannot believe I was missing out on this most wonderful, glorious adventure in life. O-K, I get it, melodramatic. That should be my middle name. Blogglehead Melodramatic Yeager. There's quite a fine ring to it if I do say so myself.
Anyhoo, so I feel like I've been going through a bit of a midlife crisis. Which is ridiculous, I know. I mean for crying out loud, I'm 28 years old. I'm still a good 7 years away from cougarville! It's probably just winter but it's left my skin feeling dry and icky. And in all my 28 years of infinite wisdom, I've been blessed with quite good skin and never really had a lot of breakouts. Not so recently. I've had a little pal named Gary (yes, I watch Family Guy) hanging out with me for the past week. And I was sick and tired of having Gary tool around with me all day every day. I said, "Gary, I've had enough... I'm going for a facial and getting you off my face!!"
So I wake up and go for my typical Sunday morning run. PS - can I sidenote and tell you how flipping much I love living in California?!?! I do. It's a week away from Christmas and I went running in a pair of shorts and long sleeve shirt and was still toasty. I don't know how I've never found this place called Heaven before now! Back to business, so I get home from my run and call to make a facial appt and the lady says she can get me in right then. So I stroll on over to this place I found which is only a few blocks from my house and has reasonably priced facials.
I just can't stop raving about it. She put masks on me, massaged my face, scrubbed, extracted (DID NOT like this part however!), more masks, lotion, etc. Pure bliss. Give me more, more, more. (I know, I'm a sick perv if you are catching onto my analogy here, whatev... you liked it! :-))
Toodles magoo!

The only good thing about Sunday is...

bloody mary's, sushi sunday, and running. But maybe not in that exact order!

No matter how hungover I am or how much I dread going for a run on a Sunday, I am always extremely pleased when I do. It's amazing how a little adrenaline boost can completely alter your outlook on the day. I really enjoy going for a little jog along the embarcadero. I am lucky that we live so close to such an amazing running path. I know its really cliche and lame to say but running seriously is my drug of choice. And I highly do not recommend hanging around me for too long if its been more than a few days since my last fix. 'Cause honey that just ain't pretty!!

Sushi Sunday is a new ritual that KSong and I have started up in the Yeager/Song household. We've found this really good sushi place that delivers. Yum! So we've been doing this the past few weekends and I think the raw fish is doing wonders for my skin. Double bonus! :-) Right now we are currently waiting for our sushi sunday to arrive. Hurry up, buster I'm starving!! And this is how I enjoy ending the best part of Sunday.

Hold up though, because I've side-stepped and forgot to mention my favorite, favorite, favorite part of Sunday... the bloody mary part! Yippee, yi yi yeah! The devourment of a bloody mary usually occurs post-run on Sundays. I don't really have a super fave place that serves these scrumptious libations; however, we did find a pretty snazzy concoction of a bloody mary today at 21st Amendment. Seriously, this thing came with like a giant pickle. I will not tell you what it looked like, let's just say Kevin has reaffirmed that I am a total perv! :-) Anyhoo we will continue to try as many different places as possible until we find that perfect 10 of a bevvy!

Oooh, gotta go sushi has arrived. Happy Sunday!!

All I Want for Christmas is...

Dear Santa,

If you would like some ideas on what to get me this Christmas, please read my wish list below. I promise I've been a very good girl this year!!

Foot massager from Brookstone:
http://www.brookstone.com/osim-usqueez-calf-foot-massagers.html?bkiid=massagemn_flash551267ps3
I found this foot massager when my parents were in town and we were out doing some shopping. I told the woman I had a foot rubbing fetish (what I meant to say is I am obsessed with having my feet massaged.) Saying you have a foot fetish in front of your parents = that's not embarrassing in the slightest! :-) They also a version that is about $150 dollars cheaper than this one. Santa, I would take that one as well!!

Amazon Kindle or Sony e-Reader:
http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Wireless-Reading-Display-Generation/dp/B0015T963C/ref=dp_ob_title_def
or
http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&categoryId=8198552921644523779
Because you can never have too many technological devices and ever since I became a Cali girl, I try to do my part in making the world a bit more of a greener place! Other friends, please note I have not turned vegan. Yet... (Total jk by the way, I don't discriminate against foods.)

Louis Vuitton:
http://www.louisvuitton.com/us/flash/index.jsp?direct1=home_entry_us
What? Is it really that bad if I ask Kevin's boss to make him work on Xmas this year?!?! :-) For those of you who don't know this story and would like to... please just ask!

I am also a practical woman and there are many other gifts that I would love love love, just as much! Thank you Santa!! I will leave the milk and cookies out for you!

Battle of the Best Pick-Up Lines

Hey hey hey, I'm baaaack!! :-) So since I haven't been making/taking the time to blog too much lately, I've realized that life has been quite depressing without my old blogaroo! I am really going to work on getting my act together and beginning to tell you all my secrets again. After all, its like having a virtual best friend... WITH the entire world!

So today I had to drop Don & Faye off at the airport to head back towards good ole Indiana. (Huge shout out to D&F - thank you SO much for coming to visit and I am sorry your travels are going to take you about 9 hrs to get home. Dear Delta - you suck!) Anyhoo so I drop them off at the airport and am walking home in horrendous rainy weather when oh but the pretty Mr. Sun decided to come out. There's a dodgy looking man (not old, not too young) and I decide to arch my umbrella so that I can avoid making eye contact. He is basically bending over to peek under my brella and he's like 'Excuse me miss, can I be like Tiger Woods and get with a caucasian woman today?' I could not help but bust out laughing. I have to admit that was a good one. It kind of turned my frown upside down. This comment also prompted me to think of swell comeback lines I could have said. (I wasn't very original by laughing and saying negative ghostrider aka: Andrea simply says 'no'!) But I was thinking afterwards, I wonder what the guy would have said if I would have told him 'but I'm a man' (said in a real manly voice!) And then I thought you are weird, Andrea and that I have been in San Francisco for too long when I am thinking of coming back with comments like that. I dunno, I had a lot more fresh comments in my head directly after it happened but then I came home and napped and forgot all of the witty things I wanted to write to you in my blog. Woops, sorry!!

I am going to force myself to go get on the treadmill now I think. Ate a little too much grub over the past couple of days with the parental units in town. Chances are I might end up skipping. :-) Tommorrow is a new day and I will start my holiday workout diet then. Or probably not at all, diets are for wussy's! Tis' the season.... now where is that peppermint chocolate martini?!!?! :-)

That's what she said...

Hola! Dear friends, I do apologise that I have not written in quite some time. In all, all, ALLL honesty I truly have been a busy little butterfly. And you know, we all have more important things to do around the holidays other than blog and blog some more. Like shopping. I bought myself an early Christmas present on Black Friday. Do you want to know what it was??? A Longchamp bag. That I call my new gym bag. Yes, $150 for a gym bag. I like to think of myself as a practical woman. Wouldn't you agree?!?! :-)) Anyhoo other than shopping my life away, I've been logging in a lot of hours at work. (At least I am working hard for my earnings!) I've been working at one of our sister properties for the past week. It was a lot of fun. I was on the PM shift so that wasn't too much fun but the upside to it was that I got to hit all the good classes at the gym during the day. Score... cowabunga! Today I went for my first dim sum experience. It was quite yummy if I do say so myself. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of Chinese food (please refer back to my fpbs incident if you need more details!) however I am still full about 8 hours after my dim sum experience so that makes a happy noodlehead. (Noods is my nickname from college; I actually gave it to myself. Go figure!) Now it's 'Sushi Sunday' evening and I'm enjoying a nice glass of cab while anxiously awaiting the finale of Desperate Housewives this evening. Although, from the previews of it I have to say I am afraid that it may prove to be a bit disappointing. Why do I say this, well because all roads lead to believe that there is going to be a plane crash in the finale. And A)I desperately (no pun intended) hate the thought of airplane crashes and B)I just think it's going to turn out to be a bit Lost'ish. (Note: I think Lost is a completely ridiculous television show.) I used to enjoy it but then it just became so, oh I don't know the word I'm looking for is, say far-fetched. Lame wording, I know. It must be that damn cab talking!! So I just thought I would send a nice little shout out to my virtual world followers as I've unintentionally been avoiding you for over a week or two now but please know that I still hold you all dear in my heart. Big hugs and kisses. The sushi has arrived! Yum!
