Awkward and Awesome

Was May 2nd really my last post?!? Wow..... It feels like it was just yesterday. My life has been so crazy and hectic lately, and is totally different than it was a couple of months ago. I have an awful lot to say, but I figured for right now I would just start with an awkward and awesome post. :)

Awkward:

~ That silence when you're talking to someone, but you both run out of things to say, so you just kinda sit there.....

~ When you go to work with Dad, and you see a realtor that you haven't seen in a couple of months. He doesn't remember your name, so he addresses you as "Number 1". :/

~ There's a certain guy at work (yes, I said work, I'll explain in the awesome part) that I'm pretty sure is 17, and there have been a couple of times when I'm pretty sure he's been staring at me, but I'm not sure, so I've just kind of ignored it and not made eye contact with him. That's awkward. 

~ When you're at your dad's softball game, and you make a teasing comment to one of the guys (who says things like that to you all the time, and totally deserves it), so he throws his glove at you (there's a fence inbetween us, so he can't actually hit me), and it falls into the trashcan and gets gum on it. Oops. :D

~ When you're at an appointment, and there's cats in the house. You're really allergic to cats, so you're sneezing like you have a chronic illness or something, and nobody else is batting an eye.

~ When a guy asks you to cover his shift a certain day, but you can't do it, so he has to, and then the next week they need you to work a certain shift on a day that you can't do it, and they get him to do it. 

~ Having customers who don't speak any English becomes very difficult when you don't speak any Spanish. :/ 

~ Watching a movie that is supposed to be awesome, but none of your family members like it, so when it's over you sit there like "Um, is that it?"

Awesome:

~ Getting a job! This deserves its own post, so I'm not going to say much, but I will say that God has been so good to me, and I now have a job at Safeway! It's been totally awesome, except for working closing shifts, like today when I work from 4 until midnight. Oh well. That's what happens when you're new. :)

~ The fact that my awesome friend Rachel is getting married a week from today! Ah!!!!!!!!! I am seriously so happy for her. :) Her and her fiancé are perfect together, and it's going to be such an amazing wedding. :)

~ New nail polish! Between my birthday a couple of weeks ago, as well as Rachel giving me some she didn't need any more, I have quite a lot of new colors! :)

~ Free tea refills at Starbucks :)

~ My coworkers. They are all so sweet, and have been so nice to me as I've been learning everything. :)

~ The fact that football season starts really soon! If you're not a sports fan, you totally won't get this, but the summer is SO terrible for me, because there's nothing going on! I am not a baseball fan in any way, shape or form, so the couple of months inbetween when basketball ends and football starts are like torture.

~ The fact that (hopefully!) I'll get my first paycheck today! Generally it's Friday, but I (think) I'm set up for direct deposit, and those people get payed Wednesday. Thank goodness, because I need money. :D

~ Phone conversations with your best friend. Man, do I love those. Lots and lots of laughing is involved. :D

~ Good books :)

~ Having 474 followers on my business Instagram. Wow! That's a lot of people! :D


Alright, and that's my awkward and awesome! I have tomorrow off, so I'll try and write a post about my job. :)
