Awkward and Awesome Thursday

2.17.2011
AWKWARD
*Forgetting to rip the price tag out of a gift.....and it was on clearance.
*Getting asked when you're expecting.........and you're not. Not wanting to make the situation awkward for them because, clearly it already is for you, you make up a fake due date and play along with the questions that follow. "Ummm yes, we were hoping for another boy"...considering the one we have at home is only 6 weeks old, I'm sure they would be besties.
*Someone referring to you by your embarassing childhood nickname in public, or worse.....on your FB wall.
*Mixing two different circles of friends at a get together.
*Registering at Pottery Barn for a non-existent baby shower just to take advantage of the 10% off everything you didn't get on your registry discount. Actually, that was pretty awesome! Okay, now on to the.....

AWESOME
*Drinking orange juice out of your fancy crystal glasses for no special reason....except that it makes the orange juice feel more special.
*PAYDAY! - nuff said.
*For this one, rewind 11 years ago. (all you late twenty-somethings on up should get it) Newly married.....hubs is sleep talking. Wanting to find out what he's dreaming about you whisper in his ear..."what's my name?" He responds................."Snoop Dogg". True story- didn't even remeber that conversation the next morning. Had he uttered anything else, this would have obviously been on the other list.

Awkward and Awesome

1.21.2011
There's this little blog I read about fashion and such by the darling Sydney Poulson. And every Thursday she does an Awkward/Awesome post. I often wonder how she comes up with fresh material for each Thursday's post. Then I started jotting down my own list and was surprised with how long it got. Like seriously, folks.....I'm talking enough for 5 future posts. And keep in mind, this stuff has all happened to me and most within the past two weeks. So here goes........

AWKWARD:
* Staring out the window facing the neighbors house, daydreaming; only to come out of it and realize they are watching you watching them.
* Getting in line to pay for groceries......realizing your wallet is at home on the computer desk where you left it when making that online purchase. (dang it, next time I'll use paypal) Then watching them, in front of everyone, wheel your entire shopping cart away (to place in the walk-in) while you promise to return within 35 minutes.
* Sneaking in some bites of your favorite coffee ice cream while cooking dinner.....getting caught by your kid and having to share your stash.
* Trying out your new perfume hubby gifted you with....then getting told by your six year old that you smell like their grandmother.
* The pic on the top right of moi. And what am I supposed to be doing with my hands....oh yeah I know, I'll put my thumbs in my pockets..... how very avant garde of me. wink

AWESOME:
* Realizing that this year you'll be getting a sizeable tax refund....that is unless your state doesn't issue IOU's again.
* Being surprised with an extra anniversary present the week after your anniversary.
* Mid week date night at home with a new release and take out from your fave restaurant.
* An uninterrupted conversation with your husband. (ps. we have four kiddos)
* Sleeping in until 9:30 on the weekend.
* The pic on the top left of my sweet Luci.
* 1/2 off day at your local thriftstore.
