Awkward & Awesome Thursday

Awkward & Awesome Thursday

My favorite blogger Sydney from the Daybook blog always does a feature on Thursdays called: "Awkward and Awesome Thursdays". Not only do I find it amusing, but I can most of the time relate to her life. Therefore I am stealing her idea, and making it one of my own. Here we go!

Awkward:
- My dad kindly doing my laundry. . . Then finding my scandalous vicki unds hanging out all over the place. I think he was a little weirded out to say the least. We all have our little secrets dad...
- Living at home for the summer sure has its perks. One being sharing the tiny downstairs bathroom with your 17 and a half year-old brother. He may be a total jock, but that kid is a METRO. So the other day he left at 5 am to lift weights at the high school. I wake up at 8 am cause I am old, and can do what I want. After I took a shower it quickly became apparent that my toothpaste, hairspray, palm aid, and blow dryer were missing. Come to find out, my sneaky Zac Efron look-alike brother took it to the high school with him to get ready after lifting. Ummm I thought it was sisters who were supposed to steal your things?
-Break-outs. What am I twelve?
- The fact that half my unds don't fit anymore due to the fact that my buttocks have slightly increased over the summer. I always wanted a bigger bum. Be careful what you wish for.
- After waitressing at least 30 tables a night, you are bound to have a few good stories. It's also really cool when you have really bad timing as to when to go out and greet your table. It's also really awkward when you get ignored and you are just standing there thinking to yourself, "helllllo, I know you know I'm here. So flash me a fake smile, I'll ask you what you want to eat, you ask me to suggest something, you order the exact opposite, I bring it to you, you stuff  your mouth. Blah blah blah. . . Do that, and then I'll be out of your hair in a jiffy." However, some people just can't pick up on social cues. The other day for instance: "Hi I'm Alex, how are  two you doing tonight?"  ……….. (followed by a make-you-want-to-crawl-in-a-hole-and-die glare by the girlfriend. "…. Um…. Can I get you something to drink. . . . ( I was clearly being ignored a this point.) "Do you need a few more minutes?. .. (No response)" Five minutes later. "Have we decided?"  Followed by, "How dare you cheat on me AGAIN with that nasty slut!"  Yeah I was outta there. Clearly my timing was way off that day. Or most days. Most of the time when I go back to check on tables when they are mid-bite, and they have to talk to me with their mouths full. Good times. 
- Duuuuude. When your mom takes you to the store to get a new CTR ring because yours looks like an engagement ring and she'll do anything to get you out on a date. Ouch. 
- As a side note to the above mentioned ring incident, she does have a point. I can't remember the last real date I went on. I don't think I'm that repulsive. 
- When you somehow end up wearing a tank top to a "Modest Is Hottest" mutual activity. Ha. ha hahaha. I was just trying to help my mom out by bringing her a drink. And to top it off my aunt used me as the bad example. It was hot that day yo!
- When you go to the lady doctor and you starting laughing hysterically when they say, "now just rest your feet on these stir-ups here," and then you realize it wasn't a joke and that you're the only one who thinks the term stir-ups is a little bizarre. Like seriously guys. I was a newby at that place. Give a girl a break. PS after that place, I figured life would just be easier if I stayed away from guys forever, so I started a new club:  Celibacy For Life. Care to join?
Awesome:
- I would just like you all to know that I mowed my first lawn ever on Monday night. Pathetic, I know. It made my allergies flare up, but boy was I proud of myself. 
- Landing a job at Provo PF. Pizza Factory for life suckaaaaas.  
- The millions of DIY crafts I have somehow roped myself into. It's a really great way to procrastinate packing. Holy Hannah I have been proud of myself. 
- My little sister having a sleepover with my every night this week and begging me to read her Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone til the wee hours of the night. Now that's what life's about. 
- Going to the dentist and having him tell me that I don't have to get my wisdom teeth out. Praise the good Lord above
- Seeing "The Help" twice in a week. Such a good movie. Go see it.
- Finding old 80's clothes at the cabin with ma girls and lunch with two more today. Friends are cool I guess ;)
- Seeing my my mom slice her finger to the bone and having all that Girls' Camp first aid stuff come rushing back to me. We super glued that sucker right back together. Boo ya!
-My new healthy living plan. I have been to bed before midnight, waking up at 8 and have exercised every morning for a week and a half now. Sounds easy enough. My poor mom had to drag me out of bed a few times. What a trooper. She's pretty cool for hanging out with me all day too. She knew that eventually I would thank her and say, "Mom you were right. This feels great, why the heck didn't I do this all summer?"


Well most of that might be TMI, but you know whate'r. Also, I know I suck at blogging. Shutty.
