Awkwarrrrrd

What's with this hair??

Awkward
  • These weird wispy bang things I have.  What are they??  All I know is I didn't put them there, but they've been there forever, and they never cooperate.   
  • My parking situation.  Let's review, shall we?  Monday, I forgot my keys at my desk and didn't realize it until I walked the 8 minutes to my car.  Tuesday, I parked in a different structure for the first time, and it took me 10 minutes to find my car.  Wednesday, I turned too soon and ran into construction.  Today, I missed my turn to get on the freeway and turned back around after a half mile.  Tomorrow, I'm going to get it down, dangit!
  • Minimizing windows on my computer when someone walks by at work.  No one who works on a computer actually spends all day working, so no one would care if I'm taking a break.  But still I minimize. 
  • Walking in heels.  At least, it often gets awkward for me, like when my ankle suddenly turns as I'm walking, and I just hope no one saw.
  • Feeling like I was stealing ice cream sandwiches at the grocery store today.  I accidentally grabbed an open box, so I told the dude at the self checkout lane that I needed a new box.  Since I had the baby with me, he suggested I finish scanning everything, then go back for the ice cream sandwiches.  Well, when I went back, the kind I wanted was gone, so I sat there conflicted for a minute.  Then, I grabbed a different variety and wandered out of the store, hoping no alarms would go off although I did pay for the merchandise.
  • Hearing my cube neighbor talk to another coworker about knee socks in the 90s and wondering if they realized that I was wearing knee socks today.

Yellow knee socks--both awkward and awesome.

Awesome
  • Hearing "Peace of Mind" by Boston on the radio and belting out the chorus as I drive home from work. 
  • Wearing glasses to hide the fact that I didn't put any eye makeup on.
  • My daughter smiling at me when I picked her up from daycare.
  • The Ask section on Polyvore.  Potentially hours of fun.
  • New Milano cookies.  Soooooo goooooood!  I can't find a link or picture of them, but the chocolate in the middle is creamy.  I ate a whole bag of them last night *hangs head in shame*.
  • Dance Central!  I miss playing it.  I'll have to do that more often.
Check out everybody else's awkward and awesome moments.

  1. Dude...you are NOT alone on the ankle in heels thing....I sooo know what you mean, you're just walking along when woops! near fall and you try to compose yourself asap and leave the scene before anyone realizes what happened. I chalk it up to my utter lack of coordination.

  2. I love your yellow knee-high socks!

    I have those random whispy hairs, too. My baby hairs - but I'm 28...so why are they still so short and annoying? hah!
