I have this problem where I don’t say what I think. If you know me at all, you are going WHAAAT? This is because I am sort of a loudmouth. But I promise, I bite my tongue a lot. A LOT. And I do it to keep the peace.
Truth be told, I don’t like talking politics with [...]
I am so tempted to make this one of “Andrea’s Secret Recipes” but really, the world will be a better place if I share it.

The following is a discussion of Mughal art diplayed at an Indian restaurant:
“Hey look, it’s Jesus.”
“That’s not Jesus. He never went to India.”
“Yes he did! I read the book.”
“Are you talking about Lamb?”
“Maybe…”

It’s times like these I take refuge in hazelnut hot cocoa and my Snuggie.
Don’t judge me. It’s perfect [...]
I found a real nice tweet waiting for me this morning:
@andreastaats Hi! Here is Wendy’s weightloss experience. http://bit.ly/s3OSn Maybe it could help you to go on a diet.
Um… thanks? And where did this unsolicited advice come from? This is a tweet from somebody I don’t know. I mean, I hope. Maybe it’s somebody in my [...]
I want to be Michelle Obama when I grow up.
At the Healthy Kids Fair held at the White House. I admittedly have a serious case of blind hero worship when it comes to the Obamas, but come on! She’s hula-hooping! Also, is that shade of blue not divine?
Wiscious has mixed feelings about her Halloween costume…
…and I found the best pumpkin ever.
This is me, publicly committing to participate in and finish, yes, finish NaNoWriMo.
I’m excited and scared and then also some more scared. Here’s my page so you can be my writing buddy or send me encouragement and tell me I’m the best thing since Samuel Langhorn Clemens or make fun of my puerile writing style, whatever makes you [...]
While I was at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish’s annual Christmas bazaar, look what I found:
Oh yes. That is an embroidered portrait of Bert and Ernie. I almost hyperventilated when I saw it. I paid $7.50 for it, but let’s be honest: I would have paid just about anything for this priceless piece of art.
And yes, [...]
“Ok seriously, that kid just had a bottle of Tums halfway down his throat.”
“That kid?”
“Yeah.”
“That’s funny because I saw him on another aisle trying to eat a flashlight.”
