necklace: c/o Happiness Boutique shirt: gifted (found here) pants: H&M shoes: target
Hi! So today I present something newish. Sydney from The Daybook blog used to do these "awesome and awkward Thursday's" but she hasn't done one for years and I miss them. So here I am, trying to revive the tradition. Because my life is just too awkward not to.
Awkward:
+Explaining to Jason that guacamoles probably just grow all over the place in Mexico (we're having withdraws) Yes. I called them guacamoles.
+ Slowing down slightly too soon for a red light, resulting in a large man in a jeep waving his meaty fist at me for not getting to a red light quicker. I switched lanes and as our cars sat side by side at the red light I stared at him till he stared right back. As soon as we locked eyes, I decided to give him my biggest smile and wave like a maniac as he looked at me even more confused. I guess I thought that if I did something "nice" he would feel bad for waving a fist. HA. (ps I'm really good at revenge, obviously)
+Feeling like I have to reply in novels to simple questions, especially at work.
Candace did you send that letter yesterday?
Yeah I did, but I sent it via fedex because I couldn't figure out certified mail and I was trying to send it in the cheapest way and then I scheduled ground pickup and then I realized they charge you to pick up so it actually wasn't the cheapest way but it was too late so yeah, I sent the letter. bye.
Awesome:
+My birthday is tomorrow guys. I'll be 24. So it's my golden birthday. And my first married birthday. And Jason has been very very sneaky lately. omgomgomgomg
+Jason is getting a new mac this week because his computer literally makes prehistoric sounds when he uses it. And I finally convinced him to let me say that it's from me to him for our anniversary. #bestwife
+ Getting him something else that he really wants. And trying to make sure not to spill the beans because I usually always do. My typical secret gifting attempts: Oh hey if you were to get a snowboarding season pass would you be happy? ok cool, uhh just wondering.
+All the food people bring into my work. Yesterday someone casually brought our office like 15 pounds of fresh cherries and today there were doughnuts and Einstein bagels filling the kitchen. I think I need to make better use of the gym here before I gain like 20 pounds.
+This shirt. Long story short, my friends dog jumped on me with muddy paws and she lent me this shirt. When I was done being so obsessed with it she just said I could have it. BLESS HER SOUL.
Happy Thursday, may the awkward Gods not shine upon you (too much)

ReplyDeleteOmg I used to do awkward & awesome posts every Thursday on my blog back when I was a good blogger haha. If you ever get extremely bored, they will provide a good life. I was just thinking how I missed doing awkward & awesome posts!
ReplyDeleteI would have laughed so hard to see you do that to the guy at the stoplight! Too funny! Happy early birthday! My 26th is next Wednesday and it'll be my first married birthday too! And yes, you are the best wife ever for getting him that! Haha
hahaha!! Yess! My phone always autocorrects things to the most annoying stuff, so I feel ya! I wanna go read your old awesome and awkward thursday posts! I miss Sydney's. Her's were so funny!
DeleteAlso it's awkward when I don't proofread on my iPhone and have to delete my comment to try to edit it but then my phone spazzes out and won't let me type new text so I have to wing it and make due with what the iPhone wants me to say. Lol
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the shirt, especially paired with the statement necklace! Ahhh happy birthday tomorrow!! I hope we get to know what the big surprise from your husband ends up being!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! It's on sale, too!! And thank youuuu!!! I'll probably blog about it soon :) the suspense is killing me right now!
DeleteI like what you did to that guy. People hate when they are trying to intimidate you and they can't. Acting happy/excited was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, I think being a jerk in traffic doesn't make anyone (including the jerk) feel any better. It's pointless to be mean!
DeleteYou're fast becoming one of my favourite blogger. I love your writing style and it's just so funny and I have a few good chuckle while reading this post.

Deleteyay for golden birthdays! Mine is the first, so whe nI was one I was celebrating my golden birthday, woot woot.
ReplyDeleteAnd umm...you can spoil me with a macbook anyday ;)
And yes my life is just like yours when it comes to answering awkwardly. Liz did you get this done. Well, you see, I did, but I know it looked like I didn't because I was facetiming, but I was on lunch and I did it right after lunch, etc...just a mess..
liz @ sundays with sophie
Yay! That's cool, first birthday ever was golden! hahah if i was rich, I would totally send a mac your way ;) yes we are twin, then! I am such a spaz sometimes at work and feel like I have to answer questions in the longest most complicated way possible haha

Thank you!
DeleteAdvance happy birthday to you gorgeous! You are just too cute! For your awkward story #2, I could definitely see myself doing that too, maybe I'd throw in a bonus peace sign. Hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!! seriously you're so nice!! hahah dang it I should have done a peace sign, that would have just sold it :)
DeleteOkay, first of all, your hair is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am so with you on way over explaining things. I am the worst about going on and on to answer a very simple question.
And your response to the guy at the red light = total win. I love it! :)
Ahh thank you!! haha you get me! Just a simple question that requires a simple answer and I can't help but elaborate. People that get mad in traffic confuse me cause I'm like have YOU never done something dumb in traffic? come on people! :)
DeleteHahaha I love this. I used to read that column too. I am literally THE most awkward person in the entire world. I should start jotting things down...ALSO, HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY! In my experience, 24 was one of the best yet ;) Hope you get a puppy.
ReplyDeletex. Morgan

DeleteI miss Sydenys awkward & awesomes! soooo excited your bringing them back :)

ReplyDeleteHappy 24th b-day to you dear :) (We're in the same age, btw ;P) I really like your necklace, it looks amazing with your white tee :)

Thank you! yay we are both 24, that's awesome! Thanks so much for your sweet words :)
DeleteHappy birthday girl!! I hope you have a great day and Jason spoils you rotten!! Can't wait to hear. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!!! It was the best day :)
DeleteOh my gosh, I am the exact same way! I can't answer simple questions without responding in massive paragraphs with horrible run on sentences. It drives my husband crazy! haha! I must find that shirt, because that's basically me to a T.
ReplyDeleteHappy golden birthday! <3
haha yay I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's something I need to work on haha :) The shirt is on sale for like $10 right now, I linked it under the last picture!
DeleteYou are so stinkin' cute & I could totally see my oldest stepdaughter wearing that shirt - it fits her VERY well.
ReplyDeleteAnywho, happy golden birthday to you! I hope it's fantastic! :)
Mandie ~ http://badbrewpack.blogspot.com/
thank you, you are sooo nice Mandie!! haha oh it is the perfect shirt for a teenager for sure!! Wish I had it back in my angsty teenage days ;)
DeleteYour awkward posts were hilarious! I love this "segment"! Might have to steal it one day haha.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY btw! Hope its great!
and ps. certified mail is usually cheaper! :)
Thank you sooooo much!! Do the A&A segment, i wanna read yours! The problem with certified mail is you have to go to the actual post office to mail it and I had to actually mail it while i was at work, my dilemma!
DeleteHi beautiful, I like this post, congratulations Happy Birthday! I really like the necklace and that picture of you looking up so beautiful!! Have a great weekend.

Thanks so much, Stacey!
DeleteHappy birthday! Hope it was truly wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way, especially at work. I always feel like I have to write novels to explain everything. It's a bad habit of mine and I hate it.
Thank you so much!! It was perfect :) oh man we are the same then!! I cannot help but feel the need to elaborate my answers into unnecessary novels haha
DeleteHi, Candace! I found your post on Love, Fun and Football :D you seem so lovely! Happy birthday!
