awkward moments and a pony tail


Wednesday, April 4, 2012

I'm glad that now-a-days I can laugh at myself when I have an awkward moment and know that it will pass.
------------------------>
I believe most would agree that one of the most embarrassing things you can bring to purchase at a register would be feminine products. Yesterday I think I topped that with presenting a plunger to the cashier. Something about the odd long handle just made it stick out in line, and Evelyn playing with it as well definitely drew the attention our way. I just felt raunchy having it in my possession. A solid awkward moment for me for sure.
------------------------>
It's always a hard position to be in when a person I am having a conversation with has sunglasses on and I do not. The whole time I'm thinking, "ok, where do I look? I can't see their eyeballs!" and instead of focusing on the conversation I'm worried about where my point of focus should be. So this summer I am determined to have shades on at all times to avoid moments of eye contact uncertainty.
------------------------>
Haha, this gets me pinned as a fool all too often. I went in for a hug when the other had no intention. This makes for twisted half hugs and uncomfortable laughter while I quickly think of something to converse about other than what I just awkwardly did.
------------------------>
Stepping on the scale at the Doc's, trying to explain to her the reason for my 5 lbs weight gain in a month. I don't think she cared, but I felt like a beastly cow up there.

Despite all that, Evelyn's hair proves to be the most awkward yet lovely thing of all. Can we say business in the front, party in the back?! It's progress, people! Progress!
Oh, and I got over my fear of having a fb page for le blog. You can follow here!

  5. I so agree with you on the feminine products. I was in the store last week because nature called, and down the aisle walks a man from my church as I'm picking them up off the shelf. Seriously...awkward.

  9. Love it. This is just great. I have personally bought an enema kit at the store, that was pretty rough. Nothing like feeling like the cashier know exactly what you're doing right when you get home. It was a wonderful moment. Almost as good as the time my neighbor turned up to be the nurse scheduled to give me an, excuse me here TMI, rectal exam. But nothing as awkward as the time I went and STAYED accidentally to the wrong baby shower (had the wrong person) and didn't even realize it until after I had sat down, placed my gift in the pile, and half eaten my plate of food. Nothing as awkward as that!! I feel that since this isn't my own blog, I can dish all that on here;) How many people are really going to read this! (Hopefully not too many, for my sake!)

  11. Hilariousness. I agree with all of the awkward moments you speak of. Also, my daughter had a mullet for the longest time and now she just has this really shaggy, crazy looking hair. People tell me I should trim it or cut it and I just can't bring myself to do it. I love it too much! When else can you pull off a mullet than when you're one?
