Awkward and Awesome Thursday (on Friday)

Dress: Target; Shoes: Target; Belt: Express; 

Pearl Bracelet: made by my mom's old coworker;

Sunglasses: Forever 21

Okay, once more I am posting this on Friday.  I'd rather this didn't become a habit, but Thursdays apparently are becoming quite busy for me.  This past Thursday I spent almost all day in Chicago with no computer, much less internet access.  So there's my excuse this time around.

Awkward

• The intense wind we’ve been having.  Like wind storm quality.  It sure does like throwing my hair about willy-nilly so that when things finally do calm down I look like I’m walking around town with bed head (and not the sexy kind). 
• I was talking to a woman at the bank.  I was cashing a lot of checks that I told her I got from graduation.  She noted that the checks were addressed to “Dean,” “Deanie,” and “Dean-Louise.”  She then asked what name I go by.  I explained what my real name is, what my nicknames are, etc.  She then asked what I graduated with.  “Dean-Louise,” I replied.  “No,” she said.  “I mean, what major?”  Oh.  Duh.  *face-palm*
• Standing in front of a bunch of little kids at a concert.  This also applies to when you sit in front of little kids at a movie theatre.  I always feel like I should move so they can see, but then I also think, well, they should have gotten there earlier so they could get good seats/standing spots.  And then thinking that kind of makes me feel like a jerk (and not the sexy kind).
• Sun tanning in my backyard while my neighbors are doing yard work.  I don’t know, just lying out in my bikini while my neighbors plant flowers fifteen feet away is a bit uncomfortable.

Awesome

• Burn Notice has started.  I know Burn Notice actually started a few weeks ago, but I just got around to watching the first episode.  Really, I never get tired of Michael, Fiona, and Sam (and sometimes Jesse) putting on disguises, blowing things up, getting into car chases, and (most fun of all) bantering with each other.
• My sister lost her pet rat, Elton, outside about a little over a week ago.  And the other day Elton just randomly showed up on the front porch.  Craziness!  That’s one will to survive.  What’s even crazier was that I had a dream my mom would find Elton outside, then I would pick Elton up and bring her inside.  And that’s exactly how it happened in real life.  My first premonition?
• Wizard rock.  Don't know what this is?  Well, you should.  (This post could also possibly go under the "Awkward" category.)
• Downton Abbey.  Sorry, another show.  But it’s summer, which means I actually have time to watch television.  But this show is soooo good.  It’s British (yay!) and has fantastic actors and actresses.  It’s romantic and funny and tense and dramatic.  It’s got everything.  I can’t wait for Season 2 to come out.

Has your week been awesome, awkward, or a nice combination of the two?  I hoping for the last one; a nice balance is always good.
