Awkward and Awesome

Image via weheartit (dreaming of sunnier climes!)

Awkward:
- The completely different person I transform into when I have to do some form of public speaking. Nervous, stammering, eyes down. I really need to work on this!
- Slipping a million times on the ice resulting in a very weird walk to avoid falling over. (Thankfully lots of people were doing this)
- Arriving slightly early to something and forgetting my phone that day, resulting in standing around awkwardly whilst others chatted. On the plus side, I learnt a lot about a species of crab that was on a poster...
- Being completely outdone by a 7 and 9 year old at several board games whilst I was babysitting. Only that would happen to me!

Awesome:
- Finding Jennifer's stunning home via ABM. Guys, this is what my future home will look like.
- Speaking of beautiful things, this Sigur Ros video featuring Elle Fanning is beautiful. I saw it when it first came out but I re-watched it today and it is still just as stunning.
- Losing 2lb. YES. It's a start.
- Planning things to do when the weather warms up to beat these January blues. (It works a treat.)
- Snuggles with my cat where he hugs my hand with his paws. Aww!
- Making mini snowmen with the rapidly melting snow, complete with baby scarves :)

What have you guys been up to this week?

  1. Your awkwards are very similar to mine this week (the nervous public speaking and weird ice walk) Well done on losing 2lbs! This week has been a bit boring for me truth be told (been working loads and on my day off I was ill booo) but I have a week off next week, I can't wait!!

  6. I randomly happened upon your blog, and I love it! I especially enjoy this very human "awkward" post, which was more charming than it was awkward. I look forward to reading more entries!
