Awkward & Awesome 11.30.12

Awkward:

Being offered Skittles by one of the guys who was with you down on the Georgia campaign, remembering you were trying to get back on your shrinkage plan, passing on the offer, and having him look terribly disappointed and withdraw the offer awkwardly. :[

Realizing if you had only stayed on your shrinkage plan when things got busy, you'd be rather slenderish now. Consequently, you aren't.

Laying in bed in the morning and trying to decide if you feel like taking a shower or if you'll be fine for another day.

Phone-banking after elections and having people yell at you.

Phone-banking after elections and having someone bark, bang pots and pans, scream that they're being murdered, yell, carry-on, and I know not what else and never ever hang up. (Sarah's story.)

Being in the middle of so many books at once you haven't any idea which one you ought to pick up when you finally have time to read.

Buying a 5 dollar book from the Christian bookstore to improve your sense of "modern" literature, only to find it's the most boring and poorly-written book on the face of the earth.

Being caught by church-people just as you're applying lip-gloss. I don't know why this is awkward, but it is.

Awesome:

Going to Busch Gardens as a family to the Christmas Town event for free! (True story! Happens today! <3)

Getting a Christmas tree as a family

Being paid to phone-bank and earning lotsa money over the course of 3 or 4 days

Posting something on FB that you had no idea would go as viral as it did

Discovering that your hair likes this winter weather and is acting beautiful, smooth, and curly almost every day

  1. This was a really fun post. :D Have fun at Busch Gardens! :D

    Aww, sorry about the skittles and the people yelling at you. :( And it is DEFINITELY awkward getting caught putting on lip gloss. Or doing anything in a public bathroom mirror, for that matter. :P

    Well-behaved hair is a joy indeed... so is peppermint bark! :D

    Toodles!

  3. The two book ones happen to me. Especially the buying new books and them turning out to be boring.
    Also, the one with the fellow happens to me a lot too. And it is very awkward.

  4. I sympathize with you on the lip gloss. I feel it happens to me every time just about! And oh the shower decision. I do that more than I'd like to admit. Fred Astaire and fluffy kittens!! YES! :D
