Awkward and Awesome Thursday

My apologies for the very long A&A Thursday hiatus.  Life and Thanksgiving got in the way!

Awkward:

• The route I took to Boulder today.  I hit every major street (University, Broadway, Santa Fe) and highway (I25, 36, tollway) in order to try to beat the traffic.  I literally zig zagged my way there.  And it still took me 2 hours in the snowstorm.
• I let it slip that I know all the words to "Getting Jiggy With It."  I was forced to prove it while on a date.  

• I was playing my "Michael Jackson: The Experience" game the other day (which is all sorts of awkward) and I was out of breath after 2 songs.  Clearly I need to hit the gym.
• I might have arthritis in my collarbone.  I'm 23 years old.  How is that possible? Getting old sucks.

Awesome:

• Taco night tonight!  It's a rare occurrence in this household so it's kind of a big deal.
• Old news, but a couple weeks ago I went to the Avs game and was chosen to be part of an in-game promotion for Qdoba.  These things always happen to me. Example.  
• Steak and Shake has arrived!  You're welcome people!  Why, you ask?  I filled out a comment card in Tulsa asking Steak and Shake to move out west.  Sure, 4 years later.  But still.  They're here and it will change your life!
• Finding $20 in my car that I thought I had lost.
• Plastic Land.  You can call us the Griswolds.  My dad puts 13 plastic holiday figurines on our fence that greets everyone as they come into the neighborhood.  The best part is blowing a fuse when I'm drying my hair after dark.
• Last night my parents and I went to dinner and left the guy a really good tip.  He then offered to buy us dessert.  Can't say no to that!
• Harry Potter.  'Nough said!  I'm reading the whole series again. I'm on #3.
