awkward and awesome thursday!

 Pants: c/o Lulu's, Top: Old Navy, Watch: Urban Outfitters, Bag: NastyGal

Awkward:
- How long I can spend in the men's deodorant aisle, killing my brains cells while searching for the one. I believe in destiny and fate and sayings like "we were meant to be together" when it comes to that stuff. I don't know why I don't feel the same about picking out my own deodorant. I guess it's just that settling on MATTERHORN -  FOR ARMPITS OF ICE, WIND AND FREEDOM is just a little bit more satisfying than  fresh cucumber. 
- Realizing that there's another Tyson in my phone contacts - a guy from a class project back in college - right AFTER I text him to "bring toilet paper". Only mildly horrifying.
- Any kind of general anesthesia. As an advocate for truly embarrassing moments, I highly recommend it for everyone.
- Relaxing my forearm onto the back of the seat and instead dropping it onto the back of a woman's head. I felt so bad and apologized a million times, but the awkwardness still prevailed. Like a neon sign flashing in the air above us: YOU SMACKED HER GOOD. NOW SIT TOGETHER IN SILENCE AND FEEL WEIRD ABOUT IT.
- Self check-out stands. Don't ever get behind me in one of those things. I'm tellin' you, I have a GIFT for finding that one special item that won't scan. Or like 10 of them.

Awesome:
- I can totally fly with these.
- Picking up squeaky toys, books and wooden blocks all over my living room at the end of every day. It's such a surreal 'I'm a mom' moment and weirdly, it makes me totally happy.
- A cup of water accidentally dropped on me by a sweet airline stewardess. It's just so good to be on the other side of the awkward sometimes.
- A little cheesecake party with friends tonight.
- When we both pop awake at 5:50 cause we hear Everett turn his music machine on in his crib. I always expect him to let us know that he's awake, but he just lays back down and listens to it. It's the most precious thing, I just die every morning.
