Awkward and Awesome Thursday

My Awkward list is a bit short this week.  Clearly that means I've had no social life lately and I need to get out more.  Probably not going to happen anytime soon since I'm moving back in with my parents.  Hopefully they can bring me some awkward moments!  

Awkward:
  • Pink escalades.  I saw one cruising around Breckenridge the other day.  Clearly those people don't live up here.  And seriously, baby pink cars should only be available in a hot wheels model for 5 year olds, which reminds me, I always wanted a hot wheels car but I never got one.  
  • Hitting myself in the face with the sun visor in my car.  I was trying to put it back up and it somehow came unhinged and knocked me in the face.  Luckily no one was around to see that gem.
  • I was going through my phone deleting numbers cause clearly that's more fun than packing, (procrastination at its finest) when I came across a few names that I don't remember for the life of me. So tempted to be like, Hey there, who are you and why are you in my phone?  But that would just be a whole different level of awkward.
  • The amount of black and white shirts I have in my closet.  I mean, seriously, it's like I'm constantly in a 1950s black and white sitcom.  Lucy, you've got some 'splainin to do!
  • Speedos.  Who wants to see that first thing in the morning?  I sure don't.  Which brings me to one piece bathing suits.  But I guess it would be even more ridiculous if I showed up in an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow polka dot bikini to do my laps.  
Awesome:
  • On the way from Frisco to Breckenridge, there is a field with a few horses just hanging out and one adorable donkey.  He's like a real life Eeyore, just chilling all by himself.  He always looks kinda sad, but he's so cute and just makes me smile every time I see him.
  • I bought this jewelry organizer and ohmygosh!  I love it.  I'm obsessed.  
  • Having no second thoughts about moving back to Denver this weekend.  I'm the type of person that can't make decisions and typically second guesses my decisions, but I'm and 100% sure I'm making the right choice to move back home.  Time to pursue other opportunities and couldn't be happier about it!  Sure, I'll miss my friends here, but I'm a Denver girl!
  • Fall colors in the mountains.  If you've never been to the mountains when the leaves are changing, it's a must! I've never seen colors so vibrant!
  • Red lips!  I decided to rock red lips the other day, which I've never actually done in public. It was so liberating!  I'll post a picture the next time I do it! 
  • Pringles!  They're not lying.  Once you pop, you can't stop!

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.
