Awkward & Awesome Thursday

Awkward

* Having to admit that you might be more than slightly burned out. By everything.

* Constantly banging into things. My knee is sore and I have a bit of a bruise on my leg from where I scratched it on...something. I am one of those females with "unexplained bruising" problems (from being clumsy mind you).

Awesome

* Having the barista at Starbucks ask if my coffee order (with heavy whipping cream) is ketogenic. Don't know why it pleased me but it was fun to have a conversation (albeit a short one) with someone about it - and who knows about it! Keto diets aren't well known I find.

* Spying an article in said Starbucks on someone's computer (promise I wasn't eavesdropping) about a Time Magazine article about the change in opinion about fat - especially since keto is a high fat diet!

* Coffee. I'm sorry, but it is (the frou-frou stuff that is).

* Using a phrase like parenthetical insertion in a conversation in bible study and have it be entirely accurate.

* Having grammatical discussions about the differences between who and that and which while at a baseball game. Its awesome because I actually think I get it. Being cold apparently is conducive to learning about complicated English grammar rules....

Why Not Wednesday

Let's just jump into this, why don't we?

* Why not.. start a "Why Not Wednesday" post at 11:45 at night?

* Why not...love your new phone but still think it's a bit stinking big?

* Why not...also love that you have wayyy more memory than before?

* Why not...take advantage of the 70 degree weather to wear some shorts before it just gets too cold?

* Why not...admit that tomorrow might take a lot of coffee and a whole lot more patience? Call it just a feeling...

* Why not...admit that I've still got a huge crush on Matthew Gray Gubler? It's so nerdy but I can't help it. :D

Awkward & Awesome

It's just been one of those weeks.

Awkward

* Can I say work was awkward? Okay good, cause...it was. It's just been one of those weeks where my pride has been struck down and I've been forced to re-evaluate my behavior. It's a good thing, although it sucks sometimes.

* Same goes for personal life. Some behaviors need to be refined. It's a work in progress.

* Losing my debit card. Actually, I didn't lose it but I didn't actually find it until I got home AND I had already canceled it. Which, you know, bummer, but hey I've been saying I need to spend less, so there you go. Bright side!

Awesome

It just...needs to be said...

* Black nail polish. I am. And always will be. A black nail polish girl. I can appreciate other colors. I can wish I liked the look. But I will always prefer a deep inky black polish to anything else.

* I ordered a new phone last week because, hey, I'm a techie girl, I can't help myself, but it's taking FOREVER. Finally shipped on Monday (or Tuesday) and I can't wait. So thankful to be able to do something like that for myself.

* The weather. It's finally FALL! Sure, it might be over tomorrow and either be super warm (laaaame) or freezing but right now, it's just perfect. You can't help but be excited about that.

* Reconnecting with your past. A good past. It's pretty great.

* Went to Oklahoma to see a ballet this past weekend. It was amazing. And I finally got to wear that designer dress I bought at a 50% sale too! It was really wonderful to get away for a weekend and experience a different city.

Sorry there's not much to say. I've pretty much covered everything.  Here's to a wonderful weekend!

Awkward & Awesome

sorry it's been a while. there was nothing to report actually. on with it then!

Awkward

* so I got my car stuck a foot (or so) in water last Thursday cause I tried to drive it through a ditch. yes I know. how blonde can you be, you ask? very. it took us about three hours (and four guys - have to say my friend Mike was my hero that night {and my brothers who were true gentlemen}) to TRY to pull or push or assist it driving out (with the use of wood boards under the tires) to no avail. finally had to admit defeat (and because the tow truck my car's roadside assistance flagged wasn't going to be able to make it until ~1 am) and have the tow truck come back in the morning. yes it was awkward and the cute comments by the staff guy who just sat there and watched didn't help. the tow guy was very helpful and showed us what to do next time (well, hoping there ISN'T a next time).

and yes, the ballpark staff does make comments about it. good thing I'm a good girl who can laugh at herself (although the guy who just sat there that night I finally told him that he wasn't helpful and I didn't want to hear any more comments).

* so that was thursday. saturday I discovered the front driver's side of my car had been egged. well, seemed more like egg castoff but still, it required a good scrubbing and a second wash and some hand drying. thankfully no harm no foul. but my poor car. what I seem to do to it...

* so I went to purchase a new phone last week (my dad needs mine and I was going to buy one eventually anyway)...well big surprise but they're out. everywhere it seems. anyway, it's not a big deal but I dunno, I was feeling mighty stupid standing there. and if you know me I don't do well with feeling stupid. my dad looked in Dallas but they were out there. finally just ordered it online. will be a few weeks before it comes in but again, all's well that end's well.

* so today has already started off being a little off. woke up crying in the middle of the night because of a bad dream but this morning I can't really remember the part that *made* me wake up sobbing (although I know it was one of those things where you're crying in the dream and you actually have to make yourself wake up in order to get out of it and find that you're actually crying there too - that part I do remember). regardless I woke up sniffly and congested and not a little bit puffy. so I got my coffee but still got off the elevator at work on the wrong floor. even took me a good 20 seconds to realize I was on the 4th floor instead of the 5th. just one of those "distracted" moments that will follow me throughout the day. (good thing there's nothing going on tonight!)

Awesome

* getting $0.10 off my coffee because I brought in my reusable cup? I dunno, I'm scrambling for stuff.

* getting to go to the ballet in Oklahoma this weekend to see Cinderella with a friend. fun road trip with someone I like to hang out with AND dressing up to see the ballet in another state? sign me up. oh wait, already done.

I'm excited, can't you tell?

* found $20 on the street. lunch money!

* baking another round of ketogenic pumpkin spice bread. it's amazing. just be-tee-dubs. tastes almost exactly like gingerbread.

* got through at least 5 years worth of old clothes at least. gave some to Charlotte. gave some to mom. the rest are getting donated. and now you can actually walk in the closet in the second bedroom (well, at least you will be able to after I drop off the clothes). it's good to get that stuff out. especially because most probably wouldn't fit anymore anyway! regardless....finally time to get rid of stuff I definitely don't need. ciao baby.

sorry this is technically a Friday post, but heck, good enough for me.
