Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Thursday, March 17

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket
Jeans: Gap, Top: c/o RPS, Chain: Kohls, Watch: Gift
Awkward:
- Our little behind the scenes shot right at the top there. Sometimes husband needs help seeing when the camera strap is in front of the lens. Thank GOODNESS I'm there to help him out with stuff like that. I don't know how he would manage.
- My gansta chains having a hard time resting anywhere besides smack dab between the ladies. They're just so huge and everything.
- Being "interviewed" for "TV" {these are both in quotes because we all know that college TV is fake} about a PR campaign my group and I have been working on. I got the hardest, trickiest trickster question of the group, I said "uhhh" for about 5 minutes straight {no pauses or anything ... 5 minutes people. It was amazing.}, and then I said the right answer. And then I punched the interviewer in the face because he stressed me out.
- Waking up to find my hands on my hips. My subconscious is a diva.
- The creepy two-sided mirror lookin' thing that was in the bathroom today. But don't worry. I played it safe with my T-shirt wrapped all the way around my knees and my eyes glaring evilly at the "mirror". That'll show em.
Awesome:
- The magical massage chair that I sat in for 20 whole minutes at the car dealership. While husband talked business, I jiggled my way to happiness.
- How windy and rainy it is outside right now. But I'm in bed. Wrapped up in a blanket. With the heater warming my toesies. You should also know that this means my eyelids are half closed. We're lucky this post is even happening right now.
- Meeting the prettiest redhead I've ever seen at dinner. Thai food is apparently where it was at tonight.
- Going to bed at 9:30. THIS is a miracle.
- Wearing husband's cologne and actually getting compliments. Apparently manly is a good fit for me.

The first photo is so cool!
I can't forse myself to go to bed until 1 or 2 a.m and it's a big broblem to wake up in the morning.

March 17, 2011 6:53 AM

I love the simple gray stripes. Very cute.

March 17, 2011 6:55 AM

Going to bed early is heaven, isn' it??? And I totally agree on man's cologne...so sexy on women ;)

Oh my goodness your akward bathroom story. I totally do that when I go to the Tai restaurant on main. Love the food, but not a fan of their restrooms.

I laughed out loud when I said the part about you waking up with you arms on your hips! Funny.

March 17, 2011 10:05 AM

Your awkward and awesome isn't green. PINCH

March 17, 2011 10:11 AM

Every time you wear those pants I decide I need a good pair of trouser jeans. Haha what Kristie said. :)

Cute, casual look. Those pants fit so perfectly, I feel like I need a pair immediately.

I wear my husband's cologne, too! Sometimes on accident. ...what? ;] That stuff smells good. & it makes me feel like he's with me at all hours of the day. [Cue: Awwwww's]

March 17, 2011 11:20 AM

thank you for explaining why i feel so...awkward! wearing long necklaces. it's like a big huge "hey look here!" (as well as...seat belts and cross body bags.) simply love reading your awkward and awesome posts.

March 17, 2011 11:26 AM

i got such a kick out of the last two 'awkwards!' :)

I have to say I BLUSHED a little when I read this! After I met you last night (Original Thai) I called my best friend to share the EXCITING news! She texted me first thing this morning and told me to read what you wrote! I was a little worried that I was going to read our encounter under the awkward portion of this post! Thank you so much for the comment on this face of mine hahaha It was a pleasure meeting you!

March 17, 2011 1:36 PM

LOL I have thousands of pictures like the first one, yelling to my bf because he doesn't know to use the camera. Anyway, you look cute also on that one!
Such an intensive A&A list today

I have thought about wearing men's cologne multiple times...good to know that others are on the same wavelength!

I get the necklace ladies problem sometimes too. Also, when I belt things it tends to draw more attention to them. Oh, and that massage chair sounds like a dream.

Bahaha the massage chair thing made me laugh- i do that slyly in department stores very often when they try to sell those home back massage chairs.

Just bought these jeans yesterday. They are a mile too long so I'll be altering them this weekend and wearing them next week. I have to remember this time to keep them extra long to where with high shoes. They just look so much better long. Don't you think? You look amazing as per usual.
