Life has been pretty busy lately. Far too busy to do stupid stuff like unpack boxes or take out the trash... or blow dry my hair. But it's also, sadly, been too busy to consistently keep up the blog. (Wahhh wahhh!)
I couldn't bear to miss another Awkward & Awesome Thursday, though. So here I am making very good use of my lunch break (after scarfing down a delicious chicken salad sandwich... why do they always have to look like cat food?).
For the ease of hitting all the highlights I'm gonna be lazy and list things this week. As always, you're welcome for making a fool of myself. I'd like to think it saves you the trouble of having to do it for me.
Plus, maybe, you'll learn from my mistakes. God I hope so anyways.
I call this the, "Oh no, I'm getting arrested. Better take of my sunglasses" pose. I'm pretty sure it'll catch on.
AWKWARD:
*Pretending to be a fashion blogger, and realizing (sarcastic thank you Sister for pointing this out) that you look like you're doing a weird body-rolling dance move when you take pictures... Also flipping through your pics to find a very unflattering butt shot (again, sarcastic thank you Sister)... good times.
*Asking the gas station clerk (where you're buying lunch) about the stuffed frog sitting near the checkout, only to have him hear, "So what's up with your Fro?" (I have been warned I'm a mumbler.)
I didn't realize the confusion until he (a man with a larger-than-life 'fro) and his colleague were already giving me dirty looks and saying, "Did you hear 'fro too?"
I frantically started pointing at the frog, and repeating, "Frog! FROG!" But it was too late. Apparently you shouldn't ask a man about his 'fro. Ever. But especially not repeatedly.
*Having a munchkin hand you a crumpled up - and very moist - sticker, seconds after returning from the bathroom.
Particularly if this transaction takes place at precisely the same moment someone else attempts to take your "picture" but gets a VIDEO instead.
*Realizing you're the ONLY person who does a bottom-jiggling dance to make sure you're not sitting on your phone. I always thought this was a universal thing... apparently, NOT!
Now for some...
AWESOME:
*Frozen yogurt, with everything but Mochi (which tastes like gooey, pre-chewed bubble gum).
*Friends! Ones that make you laugh a lot. And smile a lot. And are silly. And sweet. And fabulous.
*Sunsets. Particularly over suspension bridges. You'll hear more about this at a later date, 'cause I'm pretty much in LOVE with this view. But for now, here's 1,000 words on the greatness!!!
*Two-bedroom apartments, with plenty of space to spread out. And store 19-boxes still filled to the brim with stuff I've been far too busy to unpack.
*Iced lattes. From anywhere and everywhere. (McDonald's, Starbucks, Common Grounds, Quick Trip...) They are my favorite summertime drink. Besides sweet tea. And Code Red, depending on the time of day.
*Seeing HP at the stroke of midnight! Like the Potterhead I am.
This is a nerdy confession, but I don't care. Some things are just too AWESOME not to shout from the rooftops... like a chihuaha riding a chicken, they're total AWESOMENESS I tell you. Awesomeness.
See! I told you. This image "borrowed" from a Hallmark birthday card by the way.
Hope you have a wonderful AWESOME Thursday eve, and that I see you soon.
