Awkward and Awesome Wednesday

This Awesome and Awkward Wednesday is not only a national holiday but also only filled with awkward moments this week.

+ Ran the local 5k, went to pick up my race shirt, turns out they ran out of shirts quickly. Only adult sizes they had left were 2XL and 3XL. So naturally they gave me and child's large (which fit perfectly). And don't worry I was the only, and I mean ONLY adult/child with this shirt that day. 

Figures. Ha ha, life. You're a real peach.

+Someone (Kenyon specifically. Oh hey, if you're reading here's a shout out!) looking over my shoulder at my work computer, asked me to type 3 random letters.

Without even thinking about the letters or my fingers I typed....jis.

What the heck fingers?!?!

Red face immediately.

Now everyone at work probably thinks I'm a dirt-mind. 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'MERICA!

Crab cake sandwich from East Street at the Sky Lodge hotel.

Lunch at Silver Star Cafe, where this little baby walks around and owns the place.

After an hour-long commute to work to Park City every day, it's easy to miss some of the greatest parts of this city. I've been working in Park City for the last 7 months I have really grown to love...their food. Park City is a lovely ski town where food chains are few and far between (they exist, of course). I feel like that small town has so many great places to eat. Lately, with work I've been able to experience so many lovely lunches and dinners in town, and half of them I still haven't experienced. If you're close enough, Park City is a great place to visit not only in the winter but also in the summer.

We should do lunch sometime!

California

Two weeks ago I went out for nice little weekend trip to California. It was nice to relax and catch some California rays.

In a nutshell:

-I sucked every last drop I could get from Disney and used my last free tickets.

-Was at Disneyland for the opening of Carsland

-Spa day at Glen Ivy

-Got my first massage, poor person, my shoulders were full of knots

-Had lunches with the friends

-Just hung out

-Played with the little man, Eli James Frokjer

-Eli peed all over the family bathroom floor, I couldn't have been prouder of him

Oh yeah, and my best sisterwife Kathryn is pregnant with her first child! I'm so excited for her and her hubby Robbie (both my old roommates) to begin their new life with bringing another life in.

I can't wait to be an Auntie!

I will spoil that child.

All-in-all it was a great trip, and went by far too quickly. Isn't that how they always are, such a bummer.

Welcome.

I'm too tired. Too tired to name this post. Too tired to take cool pictures. Too tired to even get up and get ready for bed.

So here are some pets of Pinterest for you.

The 25th Year.

Saturday marked my 25th year on this planet. Welcome to the last birthday where it's exciting to claim that you can do something now that you are of age. 

I am proud to say that I can officially rent a car on my own and I will now save on my car insurance.  

AKA: Welcome to adult world where you're supposed to act excited that there's more liability and responsibility in every decision you make.

And as I had briefed earlier, life isn't what I thought it would be like 10 years ago. But that doesn't mean it's all bad.  My friend Rachel listed how life had changed 10 years ago, to thinking what life would be like in 10 years, and how life turned out to be. I took a stab at it.

10 years ago I was:

-I was a sophomore in high school at Pleasant Grove High School

-Me and Brigette hung out all the time in her Corsica

-My dad gave me an Avril Lavigne poster for my birthday. So cool.

-I straightened my hair everyday

-Got my first cellphone with 60 minutes per month

- I had made the cheer squad for my Junior year

-I listened to Ben's girlfriend at the time talk about him everyday in English class, and to me his name was, "This Girl's Boyfriend." 

-I hated whipped cream, mustard, tomatoes, mushrooms, and fish.

-I wore sweatbands on my forearms for accessories, because apparently I thought that at any moment I might be needed in a physical activity

10 years ago I thought 25 be like:

-I would have a successful career as a magazine writer for a fashion magazine. Oh How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days really sparked my interest. Or was it Matthew McConaughey?

-I would be married

-I would be living in a huge and beautifully decorated apartment 

-I would have my own dog

I didn't know I would be:

-Dating "That Girl's Boyfriend," for over 5 years

-I would be in a long distance relationship

-I would end up going to Art School

-I got my Bachelor's Degree in Advertising and Design

-I am a Copywriter

-Not married (not a negative note)

-I live with my parents (Thanks to the Art School tuition, and the massive student loans I was greeted with 6 months later)

-I actually have a job in my field of work

- I like fish, mustard, tomatoes, and mustard

-ran a half marathon

-I hardly ever straighten my hair

And for the record, I still hate whipped cream. Why would you pay to eat something that has no flavor? 

Exactly. You wouldn't.

Anyways, the day was perfect and relaxing. I opened some gifts, got a manicure and pedicure, and had a lovely dinner with Mr. Man of Mine. Here's to the 25th year of existence and the adventures it brings. In my last attempts to hang on to my youth, let me describe my day of birth with trendy Instagram pictures.

Never take directions from teenagers.

Because you'll end up asking yourself, "How did I get into this, again?"

Yeah, this happened.
If they ever become a YouTube sensation, I am taking total credit for the entire thing for my artistic abilities. Ellen Show here we come! haha.
