Awkward and Awesome

A day late! Oh well. Cheers!
Awkward:
-The smell of fish sauce. And oyster sauce. Where? In my hair.
-Telling a customer at work when she complimented my hair, "Actually, I stopped using shampoo three weeks ago. Let me tell you about it..." I go on to explain all the benefits, and how I go about the process. All the while, she stares blankly at me as if a human being couldn't possibly be anymore outrageous. (I'll update you guys on this topic soon.)
-Deciding I have no shoes that go with a specific outfit, and listening to Zach convince me to wear rain boots. So I wear my wellies, right? And then the sun makes an appearance and decides to stay a while. Guess who wishes she would have brought an extra pair of shoes?
Awesome:
-Bon Iver. Always beautiful.
-Deciding on a whim to purchase the next train ticket out to visit my sister in Vancouver, Canada.
-My wonderful sister finishing the front of our wedding invitations.
-My dearest friend Aubrie (talented graphic arts genius) beginning and finishing the back of the invitations, all in one sitting. They look so incredible.
-Watching a little boy get upset at his scooter, proceeding to pee on it.
-Homemade -Blackberry and peach pie.
-Slacklining. It's so challenging! I received one in December, but this last week has been the first time I've been able to test it out. And my-oh-my, all I can say is that I have a newfound respect for all tightrope walkers.
-Putting $1.00 into the machine for water. Pushing the 'coin return' button to get my money back, only to receive $1.25 back! Penny saved, penny earned. Winning.

  2. I've heard of a few other people who only use conditioner in their hair, and they love it too! And a group of us used to slackline during my first few years of high school and it is hard stuff. I don't even know if I can even make two steps anymore!
