Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Just a random picture from France, nothing interesting from this week I'm afraid

Awkward:

* Running into The A's ex. Literally so: The A was running, I was cycling in front of him and she was running. I was too far ahead but he got stopped and had a quick chat so I guess it's not really my awkward, it's his. Anyway she is living in the same town as us now but I don't think we will see her again. To quote The A 'Your ex is an ex for a reason'

* My first driving lesson is today. So this is a potential awkward.

* Getting my eyes tested on the morning that I aced my eyeliner. My eyes were STREAMING. Though the optician did try and make me comfortable. Apparently he makes all the girls cry (har har)

* Attempting to make my nails look okay when they are long. It's my New Years quest to be more 'adult' like. I keep filing them like a deranged secretary from the 60's as I think the shape is all wrong (rectangle, when I really would like rounded rectangle)

Awesome:

* I fit in some shorts from when I was 19 that I brought back with me!

* My first driving lesson is today. So this is (hopefully) a potential awesome.

* Looking through fashion magazines with The A at the end of the day in bed. His comments are very funny and he noticed that the magazines are a bit late with the mustard yellow trend, cause apparently I have been going on about it for about a year now.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward

* This happened a while ago (re before Christmas) The radio news was on in the car and they were talking about a cat burglar that had escaped custody. Queue me: 'Oh wow, why would you want to steal cats? Don't most people steal pedigree dogs?' Queue The A laughing his butt off at me. Apparently they are called cat burglars cause they can climb buildings. He thought it was cute, I felt dumb.

* Splashing in the sea at Esperance and flashing The A after diving into a wave. My one piece was a tad too big for me (yay). But at least the family we went camping with were behind me and the rest of the beach was deserted. The A didn't seem to mind too much ;)

Awesome

* Going to Harbour Town and snagging the above wedges at 70% off. I also got the last in my size that another girl was trying on but rejected. Booyah!

* Herbal tea. It's just awesome.

* Watching French tourists in the cheese section at IGA. They look so lost and confused the poor things. Searching for something they will never find and looking quizzically at the 'Tasty' cheese. (I still don't know what 'Tasty' is. Cheddar? Mystery. The A just looks at me confused when I ask him and says 'It's just 'Tasty', and I don't think it could be classified into a type of hard cheese' hmmmm)

*How clean and organised the house feels after a whole weekend of cleaning and throwing junk away.

* The A's new job IN PERTH. It's awesome. He comes home at night! The ironing of nice shirts isn't so fun though.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward:

- a cold sore that isn't a cold sore. Just my body being awkward.

- singing along with my music in the bus (well at least I'm not sharing bad rap music on speakers *coughstupidteenagerscough*)

- explaining to the bank teller lady why I need to pay the Australian Federal Police money. No I am not a criminal!

- realising that I was looking at the wrong side of my tape measure. Black is inches, RED is cm! IDIOT!

- having dishes to do

Awesome:

- The A came back on Tuesday night, and even though he had to go to a meeting in Brigadoon (no Gene Kelly in this one) at 7:30am on Wednesday morning. He's still here and that is just fine by me!

- making tomato, apple and chilli chutney. Chilies thanks to our chilli bush/tree (?)

- sorting through yarn and fabric stash. I have a lot of yellow fabric...

- watching the video for the new iOS5 for iPhone, iPad etc can't wait.
