Short and Sweet. And a Tumbleweed.


Yep. It's come to that.

I'll bet you got all excited that there's actually a new post here, and then there's just this tumbleweed. My apologies if this is you, because if that's what happened, you're probably that faithful person who checks the blog every few days "just in case" even though nothing's happened on it in a few months.

(And it's entirely possible that your name is Andrea. But if it isn't, hey, there...you!)

You'll hear from me next year. Till then, make the most of these last two days of 2013.

And, because I want to avoid angry comments...here are 10 random nouns that have to do with my 2013.

10 Things of 2013
  1. Book. I've read 31 of them this year! (33 if you count the two I read twice (The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and The Fault in Our Stars by John Green))
  2. Music. I listened to a lot of it this year, and sang a lot of wonderful stuff with my wonderful choir.
  3. Joseph. I have a brother named that! But also..."Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" was my first role in a Bethel Theatre production this past February. I have never understood the Biblical story of Joseph (and his seduction by Mrs. Potiphar) so well.
  4. Ballet shoes. I bought my first pair and took my first ballet class this year, which was fun because taking ballet was on my bucket list.
  5. Amsterdam. I finally know where this is and am intimately familiar with its history as a result of "The Diary of Anne Frank." (Also, it's an awesome song by Imagine Dragons. I listened to it every day before rehearsal the last few weeks of the show.)
  6. Script. Under the direction of Clarence Gilyard, I learned how to really read one.
  7. Minnesota. My favorite place I visited this year. Beautiful.
  8. Buick. My beautiful Buick LeSabre died this year :( R.I.P. Mobie (so named because she wailed/whaled)!
  9. Blog. Well hey! I started one of these this year. I may not be doing the greatest job of running it, but hey, I have one!
  10. Jesus. He was the boss of this year and will be in charge of all those to come. And thank goodness, because I don't have a clue what I'm doing.
Are you thinking, "She should do three more since it's 2013!"? Well I thought about it, but that would make me Christhirteen. Which would just be weird.

See you next year, faithful blog readers!
