In my former life, I worked in licensing. I realize there are many people out there who have no idea what licensing is about and I know this because before I entered that world, I was one of those people. In the simplest of terms, licensing is the act of granting permission to someone to …

Hello world!
“Hello world” is the automatic heading WordPress gives you as an example title of your first post. I’ve decided to keep it, knowing, of course, that we can’t call this my first blog post. In some ways we can and in some ways we can’t. As some of you know, I once had a blog …
Please don’t let anyone die
I can’t bring myself to write a heartfelt blog about the past year which is soon coming to an end. So in true Andrea fashion, I’m going to make a list. To quote Cher in the movie “Mermaids” – “Anything else, is too big of a commitment.” At this point in the blog entry, I’m …
Another Thanksgiving gone by
My second Thanksgiving living in Chile and already it seems to me that I’m eternally living in a land with no holidays. It also seems that nothing provokes the holiday spirit in me anymore and though it used to be that the last Thursday in November marked the beginning of the splendid holiday season, now …
Holy sleepy pants, Batman!
Sooooo… how’s about someone telling me how in SAM HELL people manage to 1) work, while 2) going to school and 3) having kids. Seriously today propelled me into another dimension of sleepy pants. Not sassy pants but serious comfy, flannel, sleepy pants. Ok, so I don’t have kids BUT – I do have a …

Hi. I love you and the fact that you read me. But I’m done here and want to invite you here. It’s not about being an expat but it’s about being me (either a bitchy version of me or a lame version of me.) If you come on over, thanks! If not, then might I …
Limitless
Right now, I’m doing something I haven’t done in ages. I’m drinking a rosé as I write the first blog to initiate my sassy pants. I’m actually wearing shorts right now, but that’s six of one and half a dozen of another. The only thing YOU need to know is that my underwear is black …
I’m all growns up
Being a grown up is hard. This coupled with the fact that I can no longer take comfort in the phrase, NOR THE MERE IDEA of, “When I grow up…” Too late! Adulthood, here I am. I got here a while ago I guess but when you’re single it’s so much easier to pretend there’s …
You mess with my dog, you mess with me
See this face? Believe it or not, more often than not, people in this twisted country are SCARED OF IT. And I have to say that I’m getting pretty fed up with the whole notion of it. When G and I take him downstairs in the elevator so that he can run around outside in …
