awkward and awesome thursday

2.24.2011

awesome.
- the fact that my baby brother is coming home from Africa tomorrow. eeeeee!
- my little siblings' conversations; "don't yawn!" "uh, why?" "because if they see you yawn, they'll think you're tired. and then we have to take a nap. so whatever you do, do. not. yawn."
- amanda seyfried. Her acting, her voice, and oh yeah, her gorgeous hair. I'm just a little jealous.
- my dog. may i just say that mutts rock?
- this website. oh, and this one too.
- baking homemade oatmeal cookies. it feels so good to bake something from scratch every once in a while.

awkward.
- this only slightly creepy photo of hodge {below}. somewhere between a yawn and a stretch, the devilishness of him revealed itself.
- my elbows colliding with the door frame when i walk into a room. ouch.
- halfway through brushing my teeth, realizing that the electric battery has died, and it isn't vibrating like i thought it was.
- those silent moments on the phone where no one can think of anything to say. uh...

  13. Yay for your little brother coming HOME!! I can only imagine the amazing photos you'll capture of the sweet reunion :) And the whole not-nodding-conversation of your sibs was hilarious!!! they're smart little kiddos ;) And isn't it crazy how weird it feels when your electric toothbrush doesn't vibrate any more??...I've gone back & forth from electric to manual and the switch weirds me out every.time. ;)
