AWKWARD AND AWESOME THURSDAY

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

AWESOME- going visiting teaching with a friend and getting to know a couple ladies in our ward better, thanks Dedra.
AWKWARD-the fact that I haven't done my own visiting teaching this month


AWESOME- my fudge turned out wonderfully this year, even the new peanut butter one
AWKWARD-my mints and other chocolate candies developed pock marks on them, like they had little air bubbles on them that all broke after a day or so.   I am so not giving those away., it looks like they have chocolate acne.  I really hope they didn't show up on the candies we gave away before I noticed it.


AWESOME-going back to work yesterday for a meeting and getting the opportunity to help with skills lab this year.  (I love to teach, usually)
AWKWARD-the panic attack I had to fight off when I got home because I realized I would be helping with skills lab this year

AWESOME-all the people that helped with my dad's service and the state patrol escort.  It was a beautiful day and I am sure there were people that helped that I wasn't even aware of. THANK YOU!
AWKWARD-the fact that I noted anything awesome related to my fathers death

AWESOME-Black Friday shopping....I love it, some people say it is stupid, but I just love the crowds and the excitement that comes from knowing I got a great deal.  It is also a mind numbing activity.
AWKWARD-realizing that most of the stuff I got on black friday was for myself, not others, I have to rethink my christmas gift plan.   Oh yeah,and being hit not once, but twice by an old man trying to back up so he could get in to a parking spot at the mall, I wasn't being rude or trying to take his spot, but there was a car behind me.  OK so I was being a little rude, I backed up some, and after the cars behind me all backed up I could have given him a few more inches, but I just thought what he was doing was so ridiculous and after he hit me the first time I thought he would take the hint that he didn't fit.  I got out of my car, rolled down his window and I said (calmly)  You hit me.... twice!.  He ignored me so I repeated myself, to which he replied..."it won't happen again" no sorry or anyting.  Next year I am taking a driver.  Any volunteers?
