Awkward and Awesome Monday!

Ok, so my tied-for-favorite blogger, Sydney (at The Daybook) does a segment on her blog called Awkward and Awesome Thursday and I thought I'd like to jump on that bandwagon, but why wait until Thursday? Monday seems like a much more appropriate day for me to write about awkward and awesome things since a) I'll still remember them from the weekend and b) I often need a little humor to get me through my Mondays. Maybe it's just me? It is? Oh.

Here are my awkward and awesome moments from the previous week (feel free to laugh and then join in on the fun!):


Awkward:
* Having the new guy at work walk up on me on his first day while I was watching this amazing parody video on door t0 door evangelism:



* Annoying my mom enough in a conversation to have HER accidentally call ME Mom! What the heck?!

* Learning that the original name for donuts (which used to be fried in pork fat) was oily cakes. It's a good thing they changed that because there is absolutely NOTHING appetizing about something called an oily cake.

* Starting to sing a song at church and realizing about 10 seconds in that no one can hear anything because the previous singer turned the mic off. Fail.

Awesome:

* Scoring an amazing Vera Wang jacket (originally $88) for $6.60 and subsequently fist pumping at the register.

* Learning more and more about God and how pursuing Him is transforming me. WOW!

* This weather - absolutely gorgeous out there!

* Throwing an improptu appetizer party for Oscar viewing :) SO FUN. And delicious.


Happy Monday everyone!
