Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward and Awesome Thursday #1


So, after discovering Sydney's blog (check it out here... you won't be sorry!) and then after spending WAY TOO much time on it, I found this post here.  Check it out... I'm serious you really should.

Awkward:

Telling a friend's new boyfriend that you searched him on case.net and know about his speeding problem (for non-Missourians, case.net is the Courts' website and they post every traffic or court case for everyone in Missouri)

People telling me that I shouldn't let my job harden me.  It doesn't, I've just decided to not make the mistakes you are making and I still believe in the ideal marriage.

Telling someone that you recognize them... BUT come to find out you only saw them in passing and now you've totally creeped them out.

Calling to cancel the wrong insurance company.

Awesome:

Getting home when it's still light out.

Crossing off all of my tasks on my to-do list for the day.

Conquering the double-sided copies on a new machine.

Still having a snow day with my big girl job.

Signing up new clients while sitting on my couch in sweat pants.

Getting up my snow covered driveway to park in the garage - it only took 4 attempts!

Starting to shop for my trip to VEGAS!

Springfield was hit with the Blizzard 2011.  Here are a few pictures from my back door - I didn't want to brave the cold to go further than that.

In the big girl world, we still get SNOW DAYS


We're experiencing the first blizzard of the Ozarks today.  That reads 5 inches and it's actually a 'high' spot in the backyard; it's all I could reach without having to actually GO outside.  I left the ruler out there too, that way I can see how high it gets within the next few hours.

It's pretty bad outside around these parts of Missouri.  On my way home from work around noon today I had to drive on a sidewalk to go around some cars that had gotten stuck in the intersection.  I am so GLAD that I made it home safe and sound. I am working from home today and probably tomorrow, so for the next few days, Maggie and I will be staying in where it's nice and warm.
