Awkward and Awesome

Taking a cue from Sydney over at the Daybook, I'm gonna do my own little awkward & awesome post.

We'll start with the awkward, and close with the awesome.

The Awkward
~ Biking to work everyday. In the men's bathroom (it's the only one open downstairs right now!) I strip down and wipe sweat off before putting my work clothes on. I put a little powder on, attempt to make my hair look decent, and then desperately try not to sweat as I go to my office and field my boss's questions of hi, how are you?
~ Being an alumni in the university gym. Seriously, freshman girls, that much giggling is inappropriate. And no, young men, it is not ok to hit on me by telling me to improve my form.
~ Dealing with the consequences of eating delicious food I never eat over the weekend. Then dealing with the consequences of a multi-day green smoothie detox. At work...
~ Making poor clothing choices after a long weekend of indulgences. That dress was not flattering.
~ Sleeping in someone else's bed with unclean sheets and blankets. Gag!
~ Always going to the same coffee shop to get the same trail mix. I recognize all the baristas, I know they recognize me. Yes, yes I do have an addiction to trail mix and a propensity to eat emotionally. My job is depressing, ok?
~ Mouse turds on my futon. Really?!

The Awesome
~ Seeing almost all my family members and a couple friends in a four day trip from Louisville to Troy to Muncie to Chicago to Oconomowoc to Mosinee and back.
~ Biking between bars. I never knew such a joy could be had when bars were involved.
~ Bonfire + family + gluten free s'mores.
~ My grandma's gluten free chocolate chip banana muffins. Why I need a detox. omg.
~ Making something special for a family member.
~ Having a boyfriend with a like mind, the patience of a saint, and talking about our future together.
~ Trader Joe's.
~ A playful cat that ambushes my legs in the morning and evening.
~ Awaiting an order of fabric.
~ A new water bottle.
~ Settling on tattoo ideas.

Peace, folks.
