Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Today I’m linking up with The Daybook for Awkward and Awesome Thursday!

Awkward
1. Limping around this morning in my high heels thanks to agreeing to do the “insanity” workout with the husband last night. I just realized that some people might interpret that the wrong way…it’s an actual work out dvd. Geesh, keep your mind out of the gutter! Oh my word. “Insanity” is exactly the word I would use to describe it. Never again.

2. The husband catching me making s’mores in the microwave…twice.

3. Making conversation with the dog park people. Even though I’ve seen them on a regular basis for two years I still only know the dog’s names. Awkward.

Awesome
1. This girl found out she’s expecting a baby girl! And she’s coming to visit me next week. Can you say baby girl crafting extravaganza?!?!
2. Candy corn pumpkins. Can’t get enough.

3. The Scentsy giveaway on my blog right now! Make sure you enter!

4. Wrigley and his best buddy Rye cuddled up in my car on the way home from the dog park. There is nothing sweeter than happy and tired puppies. 
Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh my gosh. I relate to all of your awkwards! haha I definitely make smores in the microwave all the time! One of my friends got the insanity workout and we were going to do it in the spring so we could be bangin' for summer…..yeah, that never happened. And even though I see the same people everyday, I know their dog's name instead of theirs….hahaha. Probably should work on that. Oh well!

    I believe I'm your newest follower…you had me at red shoes, but then I saw you have a kitty named Henry and my heart melted!

    I am also a giant fan of the pumpkin candy corns.

    Haha, I agree; it's always so awkward at dog parks. Plus, I feel like people don't love that our dog is there since he is so small and he can't play like the bigger dogs. Probably not, I'm sure I'm being a bit dramatic! haha, anyway have a great weekend!

The holidays are just around the corner and I seriously can’t wait! With a busy family and lots of commitments, I’m so happy I have updated vaccination from COVID that I can help myself to stay protected this holiday season. Booking my appointment to get my updated COVID vaccine was simple! This year, I chose Spikevax by Moderna. #SponsoredbyModerna #SpikevaxPartner #Spikevax #Spikevaxthatbody
