Awkward & Awesome

Awkward

Spraining my ankle during my workout. Pretty sure its not as dramatic as I am making it out to be, but it swelled up like a cantaloupe and I had to waddle out of the gym with a sad look on my face. Ok, maybe not a cantaloupe, but definitely like an apple. Which if you don't have cankles, thats kinda big! Its ok though... I am pretty sure my large consumption of white chocolate is going to cure it. I know I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, but HEY. Can't blame a girl for trying!

Getting my oil changed... not the awkward part....
wait for it....
Going to pick up my car and the mechanic strike up conversation about marriage and how he has never been married and will probably never get married, even though his parents still nag him about getting married and having children with a "nice girl". (( The conversation went on...))TMI.


Not learning the "Save often" technique I regretfully learned the hard way in college. I could either write an angry letter to Adobe, or just try to save every 10 mins. I haven't decided which one I will attempt yet.




Awesome

Getting assigned a really cool project at work where I am able to show off some skills, let the creative juices flow, and learn a little in the process. Yesssssss!

Eating IHOP on V-day with my fiance, and it being one of the best dates we have ever been on. Valentines day is like another anniversary for us because it was our second date 7 years ago, where we shared our first dance and first kiss, and decided we liked each other alot. ((Maybe I'll tell you the full story one of these days! Its a good one:) ))

Getting to see my friends this weekend in Nashville! Especially my best of 11 YEARS!!!! Thats half my life people!!!! Part of me is saddened that she lives in what seems to be a far away land, but its not too far for visits and there is always something to do in Nash-Vegas. Plus she and my other friend Gena are amazing hosts! :) Can't wait to spend some time with them!!

Seeing a ninja on the side of the road. I promise, I saw it.

My friend, Megan, picking me up from the car place, while my oil gets changed, and taking me for a two for one at Chilis. What a keeper.




Looks like awesomeness dominated the week. Perfection.
TGIF//almost!

Awkward & Awesome Wuuuursday

NEW DAY OF THE WEEK (incase you didn't get the memo) :  WURSDAY-- Wednesday night, almost Thursday.

Awkward:

...Hearing a ((pop)) in right Hip region and having to explain to my trainer that I have joints of a 60 year old woman. Fibrous dysplasia got the best of me. 

...Limping into the grocery store holding my lower back like I am either prego or an old lady…. either way there is not a 

cute face to go along with that crooked strut.

...In bed by 8… and disappointed when 9:00 rolls around and I am not laying in my pillowy abyss. I am 22… 22 PEOPLE! I should be galavanting around town till the wee hours of the morning. Shenanigans. 

...The nervous burper who was just showcased on American Idol.. sang "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga. It was a 'no' to say the least. 

Awesome:

... Winning a 3 day 2 night trip, from going to the bridal show two weekends ago!! Have yet to find out of its a scam.. BUT I will stay hopeful till I figure out the catch!!

...My fiance. He is 'AWESOME' by himself, but his willingness to improve our relationship daily even while it is still rainbows and butterflies…. absolutely AWESOME x infinity. 

...Ranch Dressing. Its just so darn good. ON ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. 

...Letterpress. I don't care if its the real thing, or a photoshop effect… I fall in love with a letterpresses masterpiece everytime. 

...Getting a compliment from a co-worker at work today on organizing a nightmare Die-line situation.

...That I HAVE 2 FOLLOWERS!! haha! Not very impressive but exciting? Well, heck yeah! 

Awkward & Awesome

Awkward and awesome thursday is a must read on one of my favorite blogs "The Daybook". Sydney has impeccable style so brace yourself. 

Today I am going to state my awkward and awesome moments this week… not just because it is thursday, but because I have experienced some especially awkward moments the past few days. 

Here it goes:

Awkward:

...Having a total stress induced pizza face breakout and some one asking " what's that on your face"

...Going to the gym to sign up for training sessions, and the head trainer you are working with ( for the past 5 days straight) forgets your name and why you need to talk to him. 

...Meeting Fiance for dinner after my workout, as I tell him he looks supa sexy, and he says, " thanks, you look nice too! " …. Except he didn't say that. Hot. Sweaty. Mess. 

...Almost saying "balls to the wall" in the morning meeting. ALMOST. Inappropriate.

...Seeing old "pals" at the gym that you have purposely NOT seen in years. 

...OH the whopper of the week: Sitting in the morning meeting in shock that my boss decides to test a new printing adhesive material on my head. Did I mention adhesive? It was not pretty. Nor were the " AHHHH!"'s &  "OOOH NO!"'s  that everyone yelped as he proceeds to pull it off my matted (almost bald at this point) head. Maybe "bald" is a little bit of an exaggeration, but a sample of my DNA was definitely taken from me without consent. 

Awesome:

...Getting not one but THREE bouquets of flowers from Fiance (along with a really sweet card) because we had not so pleasant words the day before.

...My mom making a point to tell me she is a proud momma. Makes me smile everytime.  

...Realizing I never used my timeshare graduation gift from my Dad, that could be used for a bachelorette vacay! Hawaii… Cancun? Endless possibilities.

...Hearing " you have stolen my heart completely" & " you are the most beautiful thing God has ever created" by my sweet man. That never gets old! 

...Realizing that reserving our church for the wedding is not going to cost a fortune after all! 

...Signing up for a 6 month commitment with a trainer in hopes of losing that weight that I usually complain about while I stuff my face with a taco…. or 3.

...Having a 30 min conversation about mustaches.

SO ready for the weekend!
