I found this amazing Anthropologie skirt at Goodwill a while back, and the first time I wore it the fabric started to tear by the zipper. It was just a little hole, so I decided to keep wearing it. Well, it got bigger and the hole was more like shredded fabric so I couldn’t really sew it up.
We recently tried this recipe for streusel bars from Better Homes and Gardens, these bars are amazing!!! We actually made them twice! The first time we used raspberry jam and the second time we did blackberry, both were great!
Saying things that can be taken different ways… the English language has a lot of words that have multiple meanings! It’s truly an awful moment when you get half way through what you’re saying and then realize how it might sound!
Going out with wet hair. I air dry my hair because of my curls, so I usually have at least partially wet hair when going out.
Getting out of a photographer stance and squishing a stinging nettle when you put your feet together… 🙁
Being really cold and then ordering a frappuccino… that was smart!O.o
Having to look up haw to spell frappuccino…:)
Having the spell check tell you that you’re still wrong, it’s not spelled f-r-a-p-p-u-c-c-i-n-o… well that’s how Starbucks spells it so there!;)
Taking 95 photos of a tree and a bush…
Helping empty our coin collection into the coin counting machine at our bank and feeling the teller behind you watching intently.
Getting so excited about doing something in dance that you’ve been struggling with and as a result freezing mid-song and throwing your hands in the air. Then falling back to Earth and realizing that you should be on the other half of the stage by now! Heh!;)
Reeeeeally wanting a brownie and deciding not to eat it because you know you’re having dessert later.;) *fist pump*
Small space heaters! Ha, take that tile floor!
S’mores and worship songs over a campfire!!!
Laying in the field just looking at the stars and singing quietly to God.:)
Fuzzy socks!!!
Yes! Saved something that I almost got rid of and made something I like with them… that feels good!:) I was inspired to use an old “studding machine” (actually called Mini GeMagic) that we had laying around on an old pair of shoes that I was getting rid of. It’s amazing what a difference a few studs can do!
Before:
After:
Not perfect, but they work for me!:)
Yay! I made it to my third Awkward & Awesome post. Three is an awesome number… it just is!:)
Awkward:
Having no idea of what’s going on around you! Hint: Just smile and look like you know what you’re doing.
Wearing an infinity scarf wrapped around your face while you clean your shower drain…
Being the only girl in dance class wearing black tights.:/
Being so late making my dad’s birthday cake that it became my dad/brother’s late birthday cake… yeah it was late for my brother’s birthday too.
Helping hose the dog down after he rolled in something gross… in the morning, in P.J.’s, in the cold.:/ Why do dogs like smelly stuff so much!?!
Voting for the first time. It was really strange!:)
Awesome:
Voting for the first time!!!
Cold weather!!!
Tea that I don’t mind drinking… I don’t usually like tea.
Dance company! I’m sooo glad to be a part of it!!!
Finding out that other people tap dance while they brush their teeth too! My mom thought I was crazy.:)
Baking cookies by yourself in the kitchen… no one knows how many you “test”.:)
Happy November! This time of year always seems to go by so fast! Even faster than the rest of the year. But I love Fall! I love holiday fun, cooler weather, cozy blankets, Christmas movies, time with friends…
Awkward:
Trying to wave and get the attention of an old friend while sitting in the drive-through, it didn’t work… and having the lady working the drive-through notice your efforts. :/
Walking through a parking lot and slowly feeling the cami you’re wearing under your shirt inch up, and telling yourself “Don’t touch it! It’s not visible, just keep walking.”
Airsoft party at our house, and being the only girl in 20-25 people besides your mom…
Trying out hip-hop for the first time… it felt like an epic fail!:)
Spraying perfume on your sun-dried-and-smells-like-it clothes, I’m sure there’s a better way!!!
Thousands (literally) of acorns showering down from a nearby tree making it sound like the tree is disintegrating. And then realizing that trees don’t disintegrate for no reason…
Trying to make friends in the blog world. It always feels so strange leaving comments on blogs… “Hi… I like your blog. Sounds like we do a lot of the same things!:/ Umm… want to be friends?”
Awesome:
Big brother’s birthday!
Birthday food. Yumm!
Pinterest. I FINALLY joined!!! (thanks you Pinterest for opening it to e-mail accounts!!!) I think I love it, like… a lot!!!
Getting over a cold a lot faster than I usually do!
Going through your closet. Or wait… no that’s scary.
Finding awesome stuff buried in your closet! 😉
I’ve been seeing these Awkward and Awesome posts on so many different blogs lately, and I thought it was about time to do my own! Reading these posts I am always so glad to hear I’m “not the only one” who does awkward things! So, time for me to share my awkwardness with others to encourage and hopefully brighten your day!:)
And now, for the moment you may or may not have waited for…
Awkward:
Running through Sams club right before they close looking for coleslaw… and carrying a bag of raw chicken.
Not knowing how to spell something so just sort of spelling the first half and scribbling the second part of it. Mwah ha! No one knows it’s misspelled if they can’t read it!
Almost falling asleep during church.
Picking profile pictures for myself…
Awesome:
Singing in the closet!
Roses in the morning.
Watching a baby eat cake for the first time.
Puppy love from an almost 9 yr old dog.:)
Breath refreshers.
Moms!
Do you ever get started on a project and leave it to start working on something else… then a few hours, weeks, (ahem) months go by and you re-discover your project? Not that this project was forgotten…. well not really. Well, I have picked it back up again, and hopefully it will get finished this time around. (maybe) 😉 I found this pattern on Ravelry (where else?) and you can find it directly from the designer’s blog here. It looks like it would be a great little bolero… if I ever finish it!
