Awkward and Awesome (revised)

Awkward:

• The following conversation which took place right after church on Sunday:

Ken: Um, Dedra? When did you get that shirt?

Me: Three weeks ago.

Ken: Oh good. I was worried I didn't remember it. Um, Dedra? You probably shouldn't wear it again. Ever.

Me: Why?

Ken: It's not very flattering.

Me: You don 't think I look pretty?

Ken: I'm going to go make lunch.

• I saw an elderly man sitting on a large rock in our neighborhood yesterday. He was wearing a granny wig.
• Anna got a slug stuck on her hand.
• I don't think anything else can top those three!

Awesome:

• Today is my 3 year blogoversary!!  Best blogger ever. (In my expert humble opinion.)
• Ken sang the National Anthem on Memorial Day for a special program at the funeral home. I'm still trying to get it to upload to YouTube. Stay tuned for that.
• Ken irons his own shirts. And mine sometimes. Probably not the one mentioned in the awkward column though.
• I've been going to the gym for a month and haven't gained any weight. (I'm looking for the positive here since I'm gaining muscle as I lose fat and weight exactly the same amount as when I started.)
• okay, I really don't have anything else. Wait, one more.
• I love that I have siblings who are blogging. Finally! I was alone on my bandwagon for 3 years. Blogging is WAY better than Facebook. (I'm Dedra, and I support that message!)

Awkward and Awesome:

• Matthew walked up to a man wearing his dress blues on Monday. Matthew said, 'What are you? A Marine?' The retired Air Force dude replied, 'What are you? a Girl Scout?'
