Awkward, Annoying & Awesome

Wednesday, February 8, 2012

Awkward...
-Flip flops on men in the winter. They're almost too much in the summer.
-Patchwork plaid shorts on men in winter. Ditto.
-Realizing at the end of a good, long Sunday that my slip has been hanging out a few inches in the back, all day.
-When the pianist plays into the next verse unexpectedly. Everyone looks around at each other, starts singing again, but only to be left awkwardly in the middle of a phrase when Mr. Pianist realizes he wasn't supposed to play that verse anyway and stops. Just like that.
-Incorrectly pronouncing the word "pianist." It's PEA-ANN-IST. Say the WHOLE word, thank you very much.
-Asking a freshly RM friend through text "how the marriage prep is going," {referring to the fact that his sister is getting married in a couple days} but the sweet RM misunderstands and replies with a text that says he hasn't found anyone yet, but he's still looking. Nope, nope, that's not what I meant, pal. Sorry about that. Now who feels more awkward about that exchange, me or you?
-Writing about the importance of abstinence until marriage for a religion class and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" comes on my Pandora.
-Flirting with a boy on the phone when his sister is your roommate and 10 feet away.
-Forgetting deodorant.
-When you put your heavy backpack on a desk and while you're looking away, the desk tips forward. Little top-heavy, anyone?
-Not realizing that your skirt was tucked under until you were all the way across campus. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME.

Annoying...
-The kid playing with a slinky next to me during a test.
-Walking back and forth across campus 7, count them, 7 different times. Maybe I should have planned my class schedule a little bit better.
-The battery in my toothbrush slowly giving out.
-Having the tabs on your car expire. Then getting a ticket. Do you really have nothing better to do provo police?! REALLY?

Awesome...

-This picture is from when Jane and I first became friends. We were also tan. I think that qualifies as two awesome things.
-Colbie Caillat's cover of "Here Comes the Sun."
-Spanish nicknames.
- Being married to a danish man that makes mean crepes whenever it suits my fancy. I am spoiled ok? SPOILED.
-Forever 21. Sometimes I hate this store. This week it is on the awesome list. Hello new polka dot shirt. I am saving you for spring.
-Freshly made beds.
-Comfortable flats. I thinks these puppies are hard to come by. That is why I only have a few treasured pairs and boy to I love them.
-First paychecks. WE ARE REAL ADULTS!
-Killing your stats test that you were mucho nervous for. BOOM BABY.
-Writing in all Caps. Emotion people. Emotion.
-Homemade valentines.
-Happy friends.

  5. Don't you HATE it when your schedule is all wonky and makes you walk for miles?! Oh well, that's always when I decided I didn't have to go to the gym the whole semester haha. Congrats on having a wonderful crepe making hubby ;)

  6. it is a cultural phenomenon, native to provo utah, that the male population is under the impression that striped polo shirts match with plaid shorts.
