Awkward + Awesome

Awkward ::

Minding my own business while using the restroom at work, only to see a cockroach (!!!) scurry across the floor in front of me.  After seeing this and squealing like a little girl, I washed my hands (of course keeping an eye on the little bugger) and rushed to find the first guy in the office to have him kill it.  After trying to step on it about ten times, the thing finally died.  Gross!

Seeing someone wearing a monochromatic outfit, and I'm not just talking an all black outfit.  Oh no, I'm talking a magenta-meets-purple-meets-flamingo-pink outfit all the way down to the ear buds.  That's right folks, a purple person walking around on the streets of Portland.

Seeing one too many "man/she" people in downtown this week.  It's a pretty normal occurrence to play the "which one is it" game, but this week there were so many "questionable" people.

Being so tired that I used conditioner instead of shampoo.  Has anyone seen the low water pressure episode of Seinfeld?  That's how I felt all day after that incident.

Dodging random areas of spit on the side walk, I mean seriously, is it ever that necessary to spit?


Awesome ::

Striped shirts.  I mean can a girl really have too many of them? I would wear one every day if I wasn't afraid of looking like a lunatic who only likes horizontal stripes.

Going to bed before my boyfriend, and having him tuck me in like a little caterpillar.  It's so sweet.

Also having the boyfriend remove my toenail polish for me so that I didn't ruin my manicure (he would not be happy to know that I'm writing this - whoops!).

Thanks Sydney for the great awkward + awesome idea!

Awkward & Awesome Friday

I always enjoy reading Sydney's Awkward and Awesome Thursday posts, and didn't have the opportunity to participate yesterday.  I wanted to create some Awkward and Awesome things that happened this week.

Awkward
- How chipped my nails are right now, seriously polish never stays perfect on my nails for more than two days.
- Trying to squeeze the last little bit of toothpaste out of the tube because you're just too lazy to get a new one.
- Water on public restroom counters
- Losing one glove while walking downtown
- When people call the work line and try to activate their credit card.  Um this isn't your bank in Kentucky, and this is not the correct phone number.  Even more awkward when they insist they have called the right number.

Awesome
- Being told you look nice today by an old guy in the office building.
- Eating at my favorite lunch restaurant
- Red velvet cupcakes that I'm baking this weekend (hopefully they'll be awesome, they may appear on next week's "awkward" list).
- My parents who are celebrating their 28th wedding anniversary tomorrow.  Happy anniversary mom and dad!
