Awkward.

The prompt for today was "things that make you feel uncomfortable", and you see, that's really awkward because questions like that make me feel uncomfortable. When I meet someone for the first time (or we're still getting to know each other better) and they put me on the spot with a question about myself and all of a sudden I'm all beet red in the face and thinking, "OH MY GOSH, how can I not think of something...you got this...just think of SOMETHING!" And then my answer is extra awkward. Yeah, that.

Being over or under dressed at a party. I get anxiety trying to get dressed for these things in the first place, most of the time. So when I spend all that time getting dressed just to show up and realize I way over or under shot it...I want to crawl in a hole. And cry.

 People fighting in front of me also makes me want to scream. I hate it. It makes me soooooo uncomfortable and I want to cry...and sometimes do. Why people, why? Just love one another.  

Being hungry makes me extremely uncomfortable. We've started calling my "condition" Blackout Rage, because no one can predict what I'll do when I need food. And then I awkwardly come back to reality once I get some food in my stomach and realize what a Beatrice I've been, and I try to be all sweet again...

...which brings me to eating out with other people. Let's just say I'm not the neatest eater and sometimes when I'm eating at a nice restaurant or with people I don't know as well, I try to be extra neat and it ends up making me even more messy...oops.

Awkward yet AWESOME!

I know jalapenos don't seem like the normal choice for my morning toast, but they are just so good!

*So I'm pretty embarrassed to admit this one, but it's totally not by choice so here goes...I haven't gotten to shower since we moved down here to Austin. There. I said it. They couldn't turn on the gas until today, which meant no hot water. And believe me, I tried my darndest to take a shower and a bath without it, but this water isn't just lukewarm...it is ice cold.
(UPDATE: as of 3:00 we now have hot water!!!)

*The maintenance man came in to fix a few things that they didn't get a chance to before we moved in, since we took the place so quickly, and he walks in with the tiniest ladder ever. Yet, even after I show him the first thing he needs to fix is at the top of the vaulted ceiling, he still proceeds to climb up said tiny ladder before coming to the conclusion that he does indeed need a taller ladder. Sweet sweet man, but hilarious nonetheless.

*Being the pastiest person in Austin, as I'm about to be as I head out for a run in this amazing 80 degree weather...hope I don't blind anyone!

Awesome~

*MOVING TO AUSTIN!!! I can't even express how excited we are to be here. I got butterflies in my stomach the other night when we bought some books and the bag said Austin, TX and I thought to myself, "We live here!" Seriously out of all the other new places I've lived in the past 3 years I have never gotten that feeling...and I love it.

*The forecast for the week being in the 70's...in January. I know, I know this still has to do with living in Austin, but come on now- I was freezing back home and the high here today is 79. Seventy-nine people.
*Finding out they still sell one of my fav beers down here (they didn't in Kansas)

*My Jayhawks! If you follow college basketball at all you know my team has been killing it (as always), I'm just so excited about this team and can't wait to see what happens come March.

...speaking of anyone know of a fun place to watch the Kansas/Texas game here in Austin on Saturday? Dave and I thought it would be fun to find somewhere in town to watch it since the game is here, let me know if you have any ideas!

Awkward and Awesome Thursdays.

I've been reading Sydney's blog for awhile now and love her style! If you haven't checked out The Daybook yet, go now. She does a post every Thursday called "Awkward and Awesome Thursdays", so this week I thought I'd join in...

Awkward~

*Rolling over quickly to get a drink of water (from the glass that I keep on the floor next to the bed) and not realizing how close to the edge I was...I went barreling over the edge and bounced on my knees and then hit the wall. Oh and did I mention that we'd just gotten into bed so all the lights were still on and Dave was sitting up? So as I'm curled in a ball on the floor, hurt and embarrassed, he's laughing his butt off in bed. Wonderful.

*Keeping with the theme of awkward things I do at night...I tend to talk in my sleep sometimes. Last night I was having all kinds of crazy dreams and at one point in the middle of the night, half awake half asleep, I was yelling about spiders to poor Dave and started swatting at the covers...yeah.

*Wating in a ridiculously long holiday line to buy just one little thing with my 50% off coupon and then getting up there and the lady telling me that it isn't valid for a few more days. Oops. 

Awesome~

*Dave is finally done for the semester! Now we can really start to pack and prepare for our move.

*Making Christmas candies with my Mom. We do it every year so it's a tradition, we'll be making some more once my brother gets home from KU. Can't wait.

*Having people over at the beginning of the week and having left over pizza all week long...oh yes.
