awkward and awesome [no. 10]

*because everybody knows cuties are so artistic*

it's been a while since I've done one of these. so some of these are from a couple of weeks ago, but they are still awesome and awkward. ;)

a w k w a r d :

-not being able to find your shoes, then realizing they were exactly where they belong, because they are rarely there. :P

- that awkward moment when you start giving somebody a hug and they aren't really a hug person.

- I was talking to one of my friends about our mock trial court case and I was trying to say "...Gayle has a short statement." well, it came out like "...Gayle has a state shortment." no joke.

- cleaning house and finding three different stashes of bobby pins in odd places.

- I was writing a journal entry and dating it as 2011. Then I realized it was wrong and so I erased it and wrote 2012. and then I realized: it's 2013.

- sitting in my government class and having to ask my sister what year it was because I literally couldn't remember.

- putting something on the top shelf and then seconds later having the can of protein shake powder fall off of the top shelf and hit me smack-dab in the lip. now I have a swollen lump on the inside of my mouth.

- having somebody spell r-e-s-p-e-c-t while talking and it taking me at least 30 seconds to get what he said (I am such a visual learner!) and then realizing what he said and laughing out loud while everybody else is already totally past that point.

- getting ready to paint with some chalkboard paint and realizing we bought a bright green color instead of black. "color of pain is indicted by color of cap". yay for not reading the bottle. not.

- reaching for something at the same time as another person. then both of us pulling our hand back, and then we did the exact same thing again.

- being really really deep in thought and starring into space, then realizing that you are staring directly at a person, and the person looking up and making eye contact. then awkwardly trying to explain that you weren't starring at them, you were just deep in thought.


a w e s o m e :
- fangirling with one of my besties

- having the exact same thought as somebody else and just waving your hands obnoxiously because you both know you thought the exact same thing.

- when people tell me I made their day.

- getting a huge pack of water colour pencils from the thrift store fore $.75. and attempting learning how to watercolour.

- we had part 1 of our mock trial court case today and I was cross-examining my sister and she said I had my "serious sassy attorney face" on. #thankssis

- talking pictures in the drama class for the yearbook and watching them do the macarena. Then totally refrencing this video (watch the end!!) and yelling "AND WHEN MY TIME DOES COME, I WILL DIE WITH DIGNITY" and somebody actually remembering what episdode it came from. #ohblimeycow

- going through practice at my play and one of the guys said the line "The law will take it's course." and yelling "AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FO' THAT!". people laughed until they cried. I felt so accomplished. ;)
- my government teacher likes Jane Austen. #heiscoollikethat

- having a little kid at my co-op ask me "Why are you always carrying a camera?"

- looking at some things in the past and  realizing how true this verse is.... 

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." -Romans 8:28

so, tell me. what's been awesome or awkward about your week?

xxx.

p.s. sorry about all the hashtags, captial letters, and general sarcasm in this and the ridiculous longness of this.

awkward and awesome [no.9]

-agatha christine. via pintrest

well, it's been a little while since I've done one of these... so let's get the party going!

awkward:

            

                                             

-getting emotionally frustrated because my favorite pen ran out of ink (my friend said I should have a funeral for it. you are all invited. "dearly beloved....")
-lying in bed at 11:00 at  night and simply not being able to go to sleep. I am positive my brain is backwards, it comes alive at night!
-so, I found out Napoleon was addicted to chocolate. We have something in common! Although, having something in common with Napoleon might not be something to brag about. 
-arguing with someone and then realizing you were wrong. (don't worry, it was a playful argument!) 
 - looking through my junk mail in my email and figuring out that I have inherited a million dollars from a millionaire in England. I am being offered a "huge" business proposition from some dude in China. Somebody found my dream guy. And I get 80% off of my next online purchase. and I can get endless tacos for only $8.99. How can I turn that down!?! ((yes, I find humor in odd things))
-when people post statuses on facebook/g+ that are lacking almost everything in the English language, and it takes everything in you not to be a really obnoxious grammar nazi. 
-trying to say a word and getting tongue twisted. then I lost all ability to say the word. 
-drinking more hot herbal tea than water in a day. #notashamed.

awesome:

- getting to see my dearest friend on Sunday. It was so much fun, we talked non-stop and laughed the entire time. 
- february 14, aka. Valentines Day and the day before my birthday which also happened to land on a Thursday which means my coop. and it was one of the best days of my life. 
- meeting someone for the first time and getting a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup from him. SCORE.
- hugs. nuff' said.
-my Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany's mug, that Amy got me. I have already drank way to much tea from it.  and she gave me a necklace from Clairs, and it is London themed. ((I told you, she was the best!))
-spending the evening alone designing some flyers for my Papa and jamming to music, and drinking coffee and tea. 
-finding out that I share a birthday with Caleb Grimm from Anthem Lights from a comment on my last post. #life=made
- grits and eggs for breakfast. it brings out the Southern girl in me. 
-constantly quoting the line from October Baby "I can feel you judging me." with my friends. 
-‎"Would you just stop taking pictures!? You hand is like a reflex to that shutter." #BESTCOMPLIMENTEVER
-Esteban saying that he couldn't sing in church because "I had the bless you's!!" [aka. sneezes]
-sending a package off to my blogging buddy.
 -finding out that Teddy Roosevelt rode a moose. yes, LITERALLY. here is photo proof.

- Blimey Cow.  and go look at this. your day will improve drastically, I promise! 

What was AWESOME or AWKWARD about your week?

have a lovely day, but remember you will never be as cool as Teddy Roosevelt riding a moose. 
sorry, not sorry.

p.s. thank you all SO much for the birthday comments on my last post. you guys are really the best!

awkward and awesome [no. 8]

first of all: I have been rather absent lately, and it's just been a lack of inspirations. but I'm back! and the randomness in this is just way to much, but that's how I roll! :) but this is just been snippets of my very awkward and awesome life lately. and also, I know it's not a thursday, but anyday can be A&A right?

awkward and awesome

AWESOME:

- this cd. okay, so I am a huge fan of Scotty, and I've been wanting to buy his cd ever since it came out, but every time I went to the store, they were sold out. but, I promised myself I wouldn't listen to any of the songs until I bought it. and then his music video came out, I decided to listen to it. and I pretty much died over the adorableness. and then I went to Amazon and bought the cd. and ohmygosh! it is the best CD ever!!!

-this is pretty much perfection in a photo. I found it on weheartit the other day... sparkley nails, Christmas with Scotty, Ford, and coffee. yes, please!

-our co-op winter program, it was one of the best nights ever. I performed for the first time in front of people, and it was marvelous. 

-talking to my most favorite cousin for one and a half hours about pretty much anything under the sun. 
-being called dainty by one of my friends (HAHAHA, I died laughing.)

-Mom was asking the boys what they thought they needed for Christmas... and the oldest two both said something, then Mom asked Esteban what he needed for Christmas, and he said "Oh Nothing"... then he was saying how he wants to give something to Jesus... "Tink [think] I could give my scissors to Jesus!" his scissors are one of his prized possesions, he treasures them! and then they were talking about how he could give Jesus his scissors, and Antonio said "We could throw it up to heaven!" and Esteban thinks then he says "No, I think he could come down to us!"

-that moment when you see that your library card expires in March of 2038. WELL... at least I won't be running out of books. well, actually I probably will be, by that time all the good books will be history, and only junk will be left. :(

-having a really awkward dream (filled with everyone awkward) but the worst part of it: I didn't get to keep the cutest pair of flats in the world! :( seriously, they were adorable, and they fit my huge feet... I am still regretting them.

-Hector was telling my how he likes the Broncos and the Steelers: 
Me: How do you know who the Steelers are?
Hector: eyes get big You just KNOW!!! he said this is a very DUH-everybody-knows-who-they-are tone. and this is a 5 year old talking..

-"You're so weird and awesome at the same time." -veggie tales

-Esteban was looking into the my big camera lens and he looked at me "OHMYGOODNESS, it looks like a toilet down in there!!!" 

AWKWARD:

- that awkward moment when your entire house smells like cleaning supplies, chocolate cake, and garlic and beans. 

- writing two pages of my journal completely upside down. awkward.

-logging into my facebook and realizing I am friend with a guy who really doesn't need to be friends with me... so I freak out. because there is no way that I would accept his request, so I go to his page to unfriend him... and then I realize Mom is logged in. I was seconds away from clicking the "unfriend" button. woah. that would have been awkward  (and just for the record, I haven't seen the guy for years, and he knew me when I was like 8...)

-scrubbing a spot on the kitchen floor for about 5 minutes and then realizing it is part of the design on the floor. 

- that AHH moment when you find out two of your friends know someone else you know... in the most bizarre way.

-we were shopping and I was getting something, and I found Mom and there was a cart behind her so I just thought it was ours and I plopped my purse and the item I was buying into the cart, then Mom looks over and said "uh, that isn't our cart" just as the lady came over to find a strange purse and a bag of sour gummy worms in her cart. I could have died laughing, the woman gave me the weirdest look ever!

-one of those I-can't-believe-I-was-that-stupid cooking moments... I was making chicken noodle soup and it needed some more broth, so I found this jar of stuff that said "better than bouillon" on it. so I grabbed the jar and dumped it it, I totally thought it was normal broth. and then I noticed my soup was really yellow and it smelled super strong. then I looked over at the jar and it said Makes 38 servings and then it said Makes 9.5 quarts of broth FACEPALM. I didn't even taste the soup, after draining ever drop of broth out of the soup I finally made it edible. but if I would have tasted it before, I probably wouldn't be allowed to have any more salt for the rest of my life!!!!! it was so salty. #facepalm  

so now, that I have spilled all of my awkward and awesome moments of late.. it's your turn! 

awkward & awesome [no.7]

awkward
- realizing that for the past week I have been writing the date as May in all my journal entries. awkward.
- being in the back of the truck inside the cap and having a guy who just crawled out of the car next to us, loudly tell his travel companions that "There are people in the back"
- bringing the wrong cord along on the trip for the laptop. I didn't know there was a difference..
- working on learning more html and css. sometimes it is pretty much like reading Greek.
- misreading my texts. we were picking up my cousins at someone's house and she was trying to tell me how to get there. she texted me that there was a little white house with a black truck in the driveway and a big barn. I read the text as a big red barn. So we are driving around looking for a little white house with a big RED barn. I finally figured out that the barn was not red.

awesome
- Taylor Swift's new album Red. Go listen to Stay Stay Stay and 22. it will make your day happier. :)
- walking into a room of people whom you haven't seen for two weeks and they all clap and cheer and I have 4 girls hugging me at the same time. that makes you feel special.

-the same group of people who called me up and let me get on speaker phone just so I could listen to the meeting I was missing.
- my cousin gave me a vintage camera for an early birthday present. it's a beauty.
- reading North & South. after I watched the movie I fell in love and decided to read the book, I daresay it is better than Pride & Prejudice. plus, the movie soundtrack is so hauntingly beautiful.
- our very first real snowfall last night!
- special talks with cousins while doing laundry, and eating chocolate with her! :)

Okay, first of all I have something super exciting to say:

so about two days ago I logged into blogger to find this:
