Awesome and Awfully Awkward: Home & Improvement

Awesome: Sitting at my desk yesterday morning thinking to my self, "Wow Self! This has been an uncharacteristically un-awkward week."

Awkward: Thinking this approximately thirty minutes before blowing chunks all over the women's bathroom at my work.

And let me say this; you haven't truly lived until you've upchucked in the place where you receive your paychecks. I mean, my checks aren't delivered to stall #2 or anything... but still. You get the idea. Not the best of days. Not by a projectile shot.

(And if you're crazy enough to WANT to hear ALL about my lovely upheaval let me know. I've got a 1,200 word post about it in the can  - that's a pun; really it's sitting as a draft out here in blog land. But if not, then I assure you that you are totally normal, and I'll be perfectly fine to sit on the secret tale of how I came to desecrate one of my all-time favorite foods.)

 

Thankfully, today has been incalculably better.

Besides resisting the urge to blow chunks, I also managed to welcome two Awesome house guests into town.

And yes, that means I've been kicked to my couch for the night, which feels a little Awkward.

But it's sooooo beyond worth it, because not only does my Mom have built-in-laser-level eyes and my Dad become a mad man with a hammer... together this dynamic duo manages to make even what is currently a disaster of a living room feel like a home.

 

The proverbial "they" always say friends will help you move, but real friends will help you move bodies.

But I say only really, ridiculously wonderful family will help you move... and then return to the scene of the crime a few months later to help you hang seven thousand pictures, figure out attempt to figure out what's up with your washer and try your infamous fried fish (and frozen yogurt) at risk of doing so over their own bodies.

 

And while I don't have pictures of mis padres' introduction to Common Grounds, or a messy before picture of my humble abode to show off tonight, I do have one way of summing up the Awesomeness of today...

Being born to these people was a really BRIGHT idea. (Get it? Bright?)

And yes, I can't take a lick of credit for it, but who cares? I am utterly blessed to have parents (and really friends too) as Awesome as these.

I truly hope your Thursday's been just as Awesome, or at the very least the non- nauseous kind of Awkward.

Here's to one-more tiny sleep 'til Friday.
