Awkward & Awesome

Hey y'all,

How's your day been?

Mine's been pretty wonderful....*happy sigh* You'll find out why by scrolling down =)

On to Awkward & Awesome...

                                                           *Awkward*

• My little brother had a teaching on this past Sunday, and my parents had stayed home due to illness, so I was the one who had to say "Darius has a teaching for us today" which I was fine with, except that the adults were having a conversation, and I thought they had finished, so I said "Darius.." rather loudly but the adults apparently weren't done and started talking right then, and nobody really noticed except for 5 or six 10 to 14 year old boys who knew what I was doing and were practicially suffocating from trying not to laugh out loud at me

• Baking the cookies from the last post, and wiping my hand with melted chocolate on it across my chin, and not knowing I had chocolate on my chin and walking around our house for about an hour. It was funny =)

•  When you're whispering something to someone, and they can't hear you, so they say, "What?" and you say it again, but this time they could hear you but they didn't get it, so they say "What?" and so now you have to explain it to them, and THIS time they can't hear you explaining it so they say "What?" and you just kinda give up, and they think about it and realize what you said and start laughing, which makes other people curious, so you have to repeat the whole process over 3-4 times. *sigh*

•  Climbing on top of counters, sinks, couches, and various chairs in order to take pictures of food, and being thankful that none of your neighbors can see you

•   Saying to one of my friends "Can I borrow your head for a minute?" 'cause another friend wanted to show me a new hair trick.

• Talking about all of the weird body/lip/head/finger piercing's you've seen with people you just met 10 minutes ago

                                                                      ~Awesome~

•  Being a helper at our Choir program, nchmp.org  

•  The little kids at choir randomly coming up and saying "Hi!" and giving me hugs =)

•  Making new inside jokes with people

•  Singing Christmas Carols with revised lyrics (Deck The Halls with Poison Ivy, 9-1-1, etc.) 

• Salted Dark Chocolate. So wonderful.....

•  Sitting in bed after a wonderful day full of friends, music and laughs, listening to Christmas carols on the radio and looking at the stars.

•  Being able to think of more awesome things than awkward!

•  Playing the piano again! I stopped playing for a while, but now I'm getting back into it =)

•  The Piano Guys. If you haven't watched/seen/heard of them, I HIGHLY suggest going on to YouTube and looking them up, they are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. They are one of my motivations for playing the piano again.

•  Our Choir Concert is in 2 weeks! I'll hopefully be able to get pics up...

• Having my Constitutional Law Midterm exam essay FINALLY done!

 What was awkward or awesome about your week?

Blessings,

Awkward and Awesome! {1}

So, I've been seeing some people doing these lately, and they look like a lot of fun! So here goes:

Awkward~

Riding home in the car with two of my brothers and 2 guy friends from Fellowship, and having Tom look at me and loudly exclaim "WHOA! GRACIE!! YOU'RE GROWING A MOUSTACHE!!!!!!"

Bad hair days... 'nuff said.

When you make really awesome recipes all week long, and then at the the church potluck, you mess up and bring something that looks related to canned dog food.

That awkward silence when you innocently say something, and the other person takes it the wrong way, and looks at you funny, and you don't get why they're looking at you funny, until 9:57 p.m. and you realize what they thought you meant.

Seeing a guy with dreadlocks longer than your hair. That's just wrong.

Those "nerd" glasses people seem to like nowadays. Seriously, we WANT to look like dorks? wow people, us Americans are mature! not. (all of you readers being an exception, of course)

Dancing with a guy who's scared of girls and steps on your toes.

Awesome~

Learning a new song on the guitar! 'Tis a wonderful feeling...=)

Driving down the road on a rainy day, in a 15 passenger van, eating prosciutto and grapefruit with mom on our way to get me new clothes =)

Salted carmel mini-biscotti. TO DIE FOR!!!!!! I seriously don't know how I was able to go for 15 years of my life w/out this stuff.

Brothers. Almost everything they do is so awesome. =) They've taught me soooo much. How to laugh at myself, be kind, throw a football, various self-defense moves, what a guy means when he says "Nothing", etc etc. I'd be a wreck without them.

Cooking and listening to slappicking guitar music.

Going to the library and getting about 30 books, ranging from cooking to praying to music to beauty, compared to my brother's 3 books about guns, motorcycles, and spys. love it! =)

 English Country Dancing! And getting a dance partner who isn't scared of girls and can actually lead.

TTYL!
