Awkward and Awesome Thursday

I feel like I have so much to do today, but I made sure to pencil in "Blog" on my to-do list!

Awkward:

• Having to put my blog on my "to-do" list.  I'm OCD with lists.  I've been known to make lists of lists.  
• My mother's aversion to potato chips when eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  According to her "they just don't go together," but if she's eating a turkey sandwich, pass the chips.  She's the queen of "rules" when it comes to what goes together and what doesn't.  
• Last weekend I was at Dave and Buster's for a blind date.  (Luckily a friend was setting me up so she and her boyfriend were there, but nonetheless, awkward).  As I was waiting to meet him, this girls waves at me.  I looked at her with confusion, and may have said out loud, "I don't think you know me."  Ummm, yeah, it was one of my good friend's sisters that I have gone out with multiple times.  Oops!  In my defense I was very preoccupied.  
• While at Dave and Buster's we saw this guy (in very tight pants) stretching in order to get ready to play a dancing game.  
• My friend getting "hit on" literally.  This guy turned to my friend, asked her what her name was, blah blah blah.  Then 15 minutes later, he hit her on the arm to get her attention and said "Sorry for hitting on you earlier."  He hit her again and said, "now I'm really hitting on you."  The really awkward part is that he was an otherwise good looking guy.  
• The other night I was waiting on a table that was on a first date.  In the beginning, it was clearly not going well as she was on her cell phone and he was on his ipad (which had a stand and one of the roll-up keyboards).  I also caught her texting under the table like she was 15, probably telling her friends she didn't need an escape route.  Eventually things turned around for them since they stayed for 3 hours!

Awesome:

• Laughing til you cry.  I mean I was literally crying.  Is is awkward that I was laughing that hard at my own joke?  
• J.R. Martinez.  If you don't watch Dancing with the Stars, well you should so you can see J.R.  He was in a Humvee accident while serving in Iraq, and sustained burns on 40% of his body.  He was then cast in All My Children. He is a real life hero that is so inspirational!  And a great dancer to boot!
• H&M is officially OPEN in Denver, CO!!  I guess people started lining up last night for the grand opening.  Don't get my wrong, H&M is great, but no way am I dealing with the crowds.  I'll wait a few weeks.
• Rick Perry forgetting the 3rd component of his economic plan during the debate last night.  I have no words other than HA HA HA!!!

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

This week has been dragging on, but Thursday is finally here!  I know you're just as excited as I am for Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward:

• Going to Target 3 times in one week.  By the third time I felt like I needed a disguise.  That girl's here again?  Wasn't she here like 2 days ago?  When you live in a relatively small city there aren't a lot of shopping options.  The really sad part is that I could have gone a fourth time, but I went to Walgreens instead.  
• I'm not here to judge, but there's this woman at the gym that I will never understand.  She comes in full makeup, her hair flat ironed and down, perfume that I can smell when she walks by, and spandex volleyball-type shorts.  I'm personally at the gym to get my sweat on so I'm not gonna waste makeup and a good hair day.  And the other thing is, homegirl is usually there with her husband, so I don't think she's there to pick up guys.  I'll never get it. 
• My apartment.  It's been my humble abode for the past year and I'll miss the cozy feel it has, but if I never live in a studio apartment again I'll be a happy girl.  I sleep in my kitchen and I cook in my bedroom.  
• Wearing jean shorts to the gym.  Who guy does that?  And actually, what guy still has jean shorts?
• Panicking when I wasn't able to hook up my DVR to my tv.  Long story short, my apartment came furnished, but a lot of it stayed with my parents.  When my parents came to visit they brought the tv that came with the place.  Well, the tv is sorta old so it didn't have a hookup for the HDMI cord for DVR.  I thought I was going to have to go 2 weeks without DVR.  Which is a problem because how am I supposed to watch Grey's Anatomy and Project Runway at the same time? That's what you call a "First world problem."  But not to fear, I'm ready to go for tonight.  Cause I know you were worried. 

Awesome:

• Baby Nina!  My cousin had her second daughter last week.  So now she has Norah and Nina.  Isn't that the cutest name combo ever?  Nina is my 10th second cousin on my dad's side of the family.  I think.  So hard to keep track!
• Moving to Denver.  If you haven't heard, I'm moving back to Denver at the end of this month.  I did a year in the mountains and it was a wonderful experience, but 9 months of winter is too much for me.  And I want to pursue other things.  Like dating a guy who has a car!  And a steady job!  Dreaming big people!
• Goodreads.com  I love it because you create an account and you make 3 lists.  "Read," "To-read," and "Reading."  I don't know about you, but I have so many books I want to read, but it's hard to remember them all so this way it's all in one place.  And you can also see reviews of books.
• While I was watching the Emmy's I saw a commercial for Dunkin' Donuts.  Sometimes this means they are preparing you for the announcement that they are opening locations in Denver.  That's what H&M has been doing.  Please, please, please!  They have great coffee!
• I found a new favorite blog, Dulce Candy.  Her closet is every girl's dream!  It's probably bigger than my apartment.  

3 Wishes...
