"i’m on a horse"

Posted on March 2, 2010April 5, 2016 by Andi

I am sure most of you have seen this commercial, but I can’t stop laughing at it.

“I’m on a horse” Old Spice commercial

Now, one fun fact that Chuck told me is that this was all done in one take! How amazing is that?! It makes me like the commercial even more!

hooray!

Posted on February 10, 2010 by Andi

I am officially done with my calc class. I am now only taking one class at a time and I am so glad to be focusing on just one thing. It makes me feel less stressed already!

I have learned a few things from this class.

  1. I am not a fan of calculus. Just yuk.
  2. Taking a math class via distance learning is hard. I don't recommend it unless you are already great at math and don't want to really be taught what to do. I do not learn well like this and I was dreading every time I needed to work on it.
  3. Andi + calculus = yuk

I am sure I learned other things, too, but these stood out. I just need to get through this, calc 2 and one more math class. It's a means to an end. And a small bit of torture to pay for a career I am really excited about.

I should be having a celebratory beer or something now that I am done. Instead I am studying for a quiz I have in class tomorrow!

Here's to a beer on Friday…or 7!

Posted on December 12, 2009January 10, 2012 by Andi

I posted a couple of the necklaces I got. Well, I got around to taking a couple pictures of other ones I got. Sorry if this bores you to death…but I can do what I want. 🙂

I am hoping to make a few necklaces for people this Christmas. I just hope I can find the time!

my little black dress

Posted on December 10, 2009 by Andi

When I went birthday shopping, I picked out a fabulous black dress. It was meant to be. It was the first dress I tried on. And the first size I picked fit like a glove.

Last weekend was Chuck's Microsoft holiday party and I knew this was going to be the perfect opportunity to wear my new dress!

Here's a picture of Chuck and I all dressed up!

And here's a better picture of me in my little black dress!

(Don't mind all the stuff in the hallway. We got home late and forgot to take a picture of my dress earlier and Paige was sleeping on the couch, so we didn't get a picture in front of the tree!)

Also…here's what the dress looks like on a model. And I was happy that it looked pretty good on me, too.

I got a number of compliments and I know this will be my new go-to dress!

annibirthary warming party

Posted on December 9, 2009 by Andi

The day after my birthday and our anniversary, we had a bunch of our friends over. We hadn't had a house warming party yet, so we thought having an annibirthary warming party would be the perfect opportunity to get everyone together.

We had a ton of food. Lots of wonderful friends came by. I got presents! I also made Key Lime Martinis that were a huge hit! Some people played board games. Some played Rock Band. Some chose darts. Some chose ping pong. There was a great time had by all.

You can see the pictures from the party HERE.

And a big thank you to my brother for taking pictures all night for me!

centerpieces

Posted on December 1, 2009 by Andi

I had good intentions this Thanksgiving to make some fun centerpieces. This was until I realized how expensive fruits and vegetables were that you wouldn't eat! Take this first centerpiece. While stunning, I would not eat the artichokes, asparagus or the string beans used. So lovely, but a huge waste of money.

And this one is also very pretty, but who needs that many lemons? And again…the artichokes would not be eaten.

Maybe if you eat these vegetables, it would be a fun decoration for you to do at your next dinner. I should really send a message to Michael's or another craft store and see if they could just make some plastic ones…they would get much more use if they didn't eventually rot!

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

one of those days

Posted on November 17, 2009 by Andi

Nothing in particular is bothering me. I'm just feeling off. I have felt more off recently than I have felt on. I wonder if that is because of all the life changes. I am sure that's all it is. But I'm tired all the time and just want to sleep and stare at the wall or read a book. Basically, I'm just feeling overwhelmed with things and it's causing me to feel off.

There are some changes I want to make, I just don't know if it's something than can be done right now or if it's really worth it at this time. I don't know if making more changes right now will make things better or worse. I am torn.

I just do my best not to let things bother me. But some days it's hard and I feel like I might just blow up at someone. So I put on my headphones and go into my own little world. It usually helps. I'm happier in my own little world when I am at work.

I know that was random. I probably should have just deleted this post. Oh well.

*UPDATED* to add: After I was pointed to the loldogs, I did some more looking at the lolcats and came across this picture that was fitting for this post.
