Awkward with a hint of awesome

Just spelling the word AWKWARD is awkward. Ironic.

Today the power went out and has been out for the last couple of hours. I wasn't too concerned about it at first and then I started to think of the food in my fridge and freezer. How long before all of that goes bad? And then I realized I am super dependent on electricity. More than I even realized I was. How did people do it in the olden days? Electricity gives me a sense of security. For one, I am afraid of the dark. I'm not kidding. I just went to the bathroom in the dark and couldnt help but wonder if there was something in the closet or behind the shower curtain that was going to jump out and get me while I was doing my business. Sorry, i may have caused some of you to feel awkward just there. I apologize. But really, I just feel plain awkward with the power out. It's like I dont know what to do with myself. I can't get cleaned up and ready for the day because that would mean SHOWERING IN THE DARK. Nope, not about to do that!

Another awkward thing happened to me yesterday. I went to the mall with Haley, was happily browsing H&M when I noticed my phone only had 10% battery life left. Not good. For those of you who know what i do for work, this was a very bad thing. For those of you who don't, I do the scheduling for pinnacle for our office. Which means I literally have my phone and iPad connected to me at all times. It's nice because I can do whatever I want while working, like go to the mall or hang at the pool. Anyway, my phone was about dead. And I panicked. Lucky for me though, the nice gentlemen at the verizon kiosk in the mall were willing to let me charge my phone there. So there I stood, for thirty minutes charging my phone, trying to make conversation with the goofy verizon guy, when I could have been searching for treasures in Forever21. So totally awkward.

But you know whats awesome?!? Preston and I's one year anniversary is in two days!!! I can't wait! We are going to have one heck of a celebration!

Spiritual Exercise:
Loved this quote from the article I read yesterday from President Uchtdorf's talk, Your potential, your privilege. I hope to be able to live by it:
"The words written in the scriptures and spoken in general conference are for us to "liken them unto [ourselves]," (1 Nephi 19:24), not for reading or hearing only. Too often we attend meetings and nod our heads; we might even smile knowingly and agree. We jot down some action points, and we may say to ourselves, "that is something I will do." But somewhere between the hearing, the writing of a reminder on our smartphone, and the actual doing, our "do it" switch gets rotated to the "later" position. Brethren (and sisters), let's make sure to set our "do it" switch always to the "now" position!" -President Dieter F. Uchtdort, second counselor in the First Presidency.

Awkward and Awesome!

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. "Isn't it Awkward and Awesome Thursday, not Friday?" Well yes. But....I was sick yesterday and just wasn't up to it. Okay? Okay. So I have seen a lot of fellow bloggers doing this Awkward and Awesome thing and didn't really ever think I would do it because I never seemed to have anything super awkward or awesome happen to me. Until yesterday and today. 


Awkward
-The girl standing in line behind me today at the L&T (real yummy place to get wraps at BYU) and obviously it didn't bother her because she kept getting closer and closer the whole twenty minutes I stood in line. I even thought me coughing in her direction would do the trick. NOPE.
-Thera Flu. I don't know if this is awkward or just plain gross. It does the trick but does it really need to taste that nasty?? ugh.
-Being the only person on the UTA bus besides the driver. I could see his mouth moving like he was talking to me but I couldn't hear him because of how loud the bus is and how stuffed my nose and ears are. It was way awkward.
-Sitting in the hall at school today doing homework and realizing that I had been sitting there for 2.5 hours without getting up or moving whatsoever and realizing it because the same girl would walk by every hour to move from class to class. "Yep, I'm still here" I thought to myself as she glanced towards me yet again.
-Being sick in class. I know everybody around me must have thought I was some contagious specimen today as I sat in class sneezing, coughing, blowing my nose, etc. ugh. 


Awesome
-The chocolate colored fleece pullover I'm wearing from Eddie Bauer that I got for fifteen bucks! I can't get enough of these things.
-Thera Flu. Yes, I know. I did already mention this above in the awkward list. BUT I feel inclined to give it some recognition because it really does make me feel better.
-My husband. Enough said. But really, if it weren't for him I would probably still be in bed wallowing in my sicky-ness. He was seriously my hero yesterday. Running all over the place getting me anything and everything that I could possibly need. And even making me choke down my yucky medicine when I know if it was up to me, I would not have drank it. I just love him. He does so much for me and I hope that I treat him even half as good as he always treats me. Not to mention I came home to a clean house today after school. YES! He is the definition of awesome!! Love ya babe! 

That was fun! I guess I may just have to continue doing this awkward and awesome thing!
