Awkward & Awesome

Awkward
1. The lady who honked at me to hurry up when I was walking home. She was trying to turn her big truck into a driveway about 30 ft. ahead of me. I was walking and she honked and waved me to hurry up and go ahead of her. So I had to speed walk while she waited with the big fat end of her truck blocking traffic.
2. That moment when somehow your body knows you are the farthest point from a bathroom and it decides that you have to go, NOW. For example, you get all the way into the back corner of the basement, start looking for what you need, then have to run back upstairs to go to the bathroom. Or, you get to the bottom of the 1/4 mile long hill headed home from school, and you realize Dang! I either have to go up the hill again, or just hurry the 1 1/4 miles home. Then of course your keys are lost in your backpack. Etc.
3. Getting caught steaming your front door by a neighbor who snuck up the stairs. (It was GROSS!!!)
4. Squeezing a lime wedge and having it backfire onto your shirt. 3 wedges in a row..
5. Having the dead water heater pee on your pants as you are carrying it up the stairs. (David says it brought back unpleasant memories from his childhood...)
6. Being told in Stake Conference that we need to be willing to kill for the scriptures, like Nephi did. Also, we need to keep said scriptures on a cookie sheet on top of our refrigerator. (?!)

Awesome
1. Nearly having the shirt I am making for David be finished.
2. 7/11 Double Gulps.
3. Our new steamer. Its great. Super sale at Home Depot.
4. My sister shaving seconds off her time at every swim meet.
5.  It still hasn't snowed big yet!
6. Several classes being cancelled next week in anticipation for Thanksgiving
7. THANKSGIVING!!! My favorite holiday!!!

That's right, It's back. Awkward and awesome. Are you excited? Good, we are too.

Awkward:

Getting into a debate in the grocery store with a random lady about the usefulness of the 1.25 liter bottles of Coke.

Trying to set up your best friend with someone. Lets just say it involved a random pizza and breadsticks in the HFAC and 5 minutes... pure awkwardness.

Realizing a total lack of any gender clues on my other blog made people think I was a woman.

Taking a 15 minute nap before class only to wake up almost 2 hours later.

Work... enough said.

Awesome!

We're LIVE!

Getting the passwords at work we've been trying to get for a year.

Discovering the show Psych... its a great one.

Interiors teacher did not hate Jamie's floor plan... like he does pretty much everyones.

Crazybread. YUM!

Awkward and Awesome

Wow it is Thursday again! This just keeps happening. I have all these good ideas on things to post about, but I just get busy. Weird. Well, we here are our awkward and awesome experiences from this week!

Awkward:

In a tiny bathroom on campus, there are 3 girls standing just inside, talking. I ask if they are waiting, and they say no, it’s all open. They are talking, one is telling a very long, involved story about a dog who was hit by a car. And then I’m done, as are the other 2 people actually using the bathroom. We have to weave through them to the sink and they are just standing there and we are all trapped by these 3 girls in front of the door who all slowly 

walk out while we are all trying to leave.

A man putting on makeup in a bathroom on campus.

My male nutrition teacher teaching the 'Mothers and Infants' chapter. 

The girl in my Interiors class who took an hour to eat a pack of corn nuts. She would bite each one in half and chomp it slowly. loudly. So very, very, loudly. 

Awesome:

SUNSHINE!!

Waking up and looking out the window and realizing how green the grass has gotten lately.

Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Getting the hinge replaced on our kitchen cabinet that randomly snapped while making dinner last Friday.

School is almost out! Only one more Thursday of school!

The trees are starting to look less dead.

No jacket at school (I carried it around all day)

Have a great week!

Awkward and Awesome

Awkward:

Pregnant girl with her notebook and textbook in between her knees, scooting her purse on the floor with her feet, and a large bag trying to move from sink to paper towels in the bathroom

Timeouts in Basketball games (nerve wracking)

The millions and billions of worms on the sidewalk between work and campus

Trying to quit job A when job B  unexpectedly shows up that is so much better for me than job A.

The teacher subtly asking a student to turn off the light on her cellphone in a dark classroom and the student turns the light back on after the teacher starts walking away.

Awesome:

David's 88 on a hard test

Walking through a door to a huge crowd of people cheering and yelling YOU WIN! And getting a sticker slapped on your coat. For no apparent reason. Winning is cool.

David's Birthday!!

Dinner with old mission companions

A new job! The same project as David! We work together again! (if I can ever quit this bakery job…. )

The long haired (stoned looking) guy standing outside a boutique talking to his friend: "This is the place to buy Mother's Day crap…" in a stupor-ous drawl

Pi(e) day and its leftovers 

Awkward and Awesome!

Awkward

• Waking up during a rumba scene in a strange Italian movie
• Getting "subtly" kicked in the back of the chair during class after dozing off

 ( I sense a lack of sleep theme going on here...) 

• That girl wearing Capri's and Ugg boots. Winter, meet summer…

• Having to tell your presentation partner that the time is up when she is totally absorbed in what she is saying. *whisper* "hey, time is up. *name* we are out of time." *give helpless look to teacher, who just interrupts and says "your time is up" "right now?" "yes, right now" "It is all gone? There isn't anymore? Not even a little?" "Nope, it is all gone"
• Creepy men asking for the time at 5:20 in the morning after dropping Jamie off at work
• Walking into a cancelled to find nearly everyone else there. (awkward for the teacher who sent the apology email to the wrong class, and realized her mistake 7 minutes before class started.)

Awesome

• Getting 1/2 scholarship for spring/summer

• Valentines day- out to dinner and pretty flowers.
• 3-day weekend in California!! No snow! Hooray!
• Thursday's long class getting cancelled so that David could come home at 5 instead of 9! 
• Boudin's Bread. Carried through airport security and lovingly frozen until lunchtime today when the electric knife got a workout and sawed off a couple pieces. yum.
• Plants vs. Zombies. A discovery made during airplane boredom. Hooray for the games that come with laptops!
