Awesome and Awkward Thursday

Time for another awkward and awesome post, it's always interesting to look at what's been going on and think about how I really felt about it


Awkward first....
Annual physical with pap smear....need I say more?

Waiting in a very small  library to teach people about a new computer program with an IT person from another facility I had never met before for 6 hours.... and only one person showed up to be taught.  This IT person took calls about computer problems all day, so carrying on a conversation didn't really work. I finally gave up and read an entire book.  Good thing we were in a library.

This one was probably more awkward for my dad, and he will kill me for putting it on here, but he had a "sore" on his butt....I had to look to make sure it wasn't infected (it was just a cyst, I am sure he is happy for everyone to know that), I am a nurse so I look at peoples bodies all the time, but telling my dad to drop his pants so I could see his butt was a little awkward.   Thankfully he doesn't have a gross, dirty or hairy butt, that would have been REALLY awkward.

Awesome

My mom had an idea for geoduck icecream a while back and it was a hit!  Yeah mom!

I got my assignment turned in early so I could go to see Pirates of the Carribean with Bob:)  always fun.

Making plans for the kids to come next week!!!!!  That is actually MORE than awesome!!!!

Only 2 more assignments (after the one I am turning in today) and I will graduate with my BSN!!!!!

Signed up to run the Tacoma Sound to Narrows on Saturday!

Listened to several hours of my Time Out for Women CD, and remembered why I am so glad there are events like that to lift me, and other up, what a blessing, I felt totally optomisitc and ready to take on the world after that!

Overall lots more awesome than awkwsard this week, which is always a good thing. Time to knock out my second to last assignment, a powerpoint so I can relax with my husband tonight, and work on some of the cleaning I need to do before my family arrives.  I have given up on getting it as good as I have in the past, but they are here to see us, not our house, right?  If I am wrong that will be in next weeks Awkward section.
