Awkward

Have you ever had an awkward moment when you just want to hide mid conversation or run far far away and pretend you’re someone different? Well I have, too many times to count. And frankly my life is one big awkward moment. If you’re having a bad day, just remember that at least you’re not me. 


Here are just a few of the "Awkward" moments I've had this week...

  • You send an innappropriate email to your coworker, instead of your friend. Oops!
  • You tell a very conservative  friend of a friend who doesn't believe in cussing “I’m the funniest f’ing person you will ever meet”. I swear like a sailor...I blame it on my time in the Army. In all fairness...I should have been warned!
  • You tell a joke, and no one laughs. This happens a lot but I blame it on their total lack of humour and not on my lack of funny. 
  • Someone asks your opinion concerning the topic they’ve been talking about but you weren't listening and have no clue what to say. In my defence, the meeting was totally boring and I did actually listen for the first 30 minutes. 
  • You think a door is automatic so you stand there in front of it, waving your arms like an idiot only to have a kind old man pass you and open the door for you. And as you walk away you know he’s wondering what you've been smoking that day. 





What about you....what are some of your awkward moments?

    No awkward moments recently. Most of mine have to do with teaching; when I've said something that can be taken inappropriately but were said in complete innocence.

    Had a doosie in the pub last night. The couple we were with started crapping on a guy who, in England at the moment, is bringing science and physics into the public's consciousness in a really inspiring way. My DH (science buff) thinks this guy is amazing and as the conversation progressed I could just feel the tension building on both sides. Bit heavy for a relaxing evening in the pub, luckily everyone seemed to agree it was not the time for a massive debate and the conversation shifted.

    Oh, and I burst into tears in the supermarket today over a cookbook.

    I had an appointment with a doctor with a bed in the room. And I actually said to him "It's a little weird talking to a doctor in a room with a bed in it." Awkward silence followed. Then he had me sit on the bed and told me to raise my shirt.

    (I'm participating in a sleep study because my doctor thinks I have sleep apnea or something. Whatever. At least I didn't strip from the waist down and lie on the bed with my legs spread. THAT would have been really awkward! ;)

Keeping Secrets

Image
I've been keeping a secret. I'm not even going to make you wait. I'm just going to come out and say it. I really don't like when people say, "Hey, I have news" and then ramble on for fifteen minutes about how they didn't know how to tell you, and would you like the good news or the bad news first. I mean, if you don't know how to tell me, then maybe you should have thought about it a little bit more before you brought it up, because now I'm just sitting here waiting while you find the perfect words to share news that...let's be honest...probably doesn't impact me in the slightest. And as for the good news/bad news question? What do you think? If you're really asking, I'd rather not hear the bad news at all. Because who wants to hear bad news? Unless it's just "bad" relative to the good news, but not really all that bad in its own right, well then I guess I wouldn't mind hearing it. And I might like to hear it first...

Dilemma

I’m having a bit of a dilemma. Which is putting it mildly. I am not sure whether to shut the factory down for good, or keep it chugging along in its pitiful, yet marginally functioning state. If things were normal, if *I* was normal (cue hysterical laughter here), then I might be happy to let things chug along as they were and see what happens. But things (my body and I) are far from normal and so I feel like I need to make a decision either way. Which really sucks and makes me feel a renewed sense of frustration, irritation and mourning for the sorry state of affairs of my reproductive bits. We recently had an appointment with our RE to discuss our options and see where we stand. It was great to touch base with Dr. L but as expected, nothing has really changed. My fertility has been on a fairly rapid decline and there's not much we can do to change that (FSH last tested at 20). It was good to hear that my tubes are open and that my uterus appears to be in good shape but despit...

Start Spreading The News...

My trip to New York City was completely amazing but I'm not going to lie....the re-entry to life has been difficult this past two days. After 5 days away I thought I'd return refreshed and ready to jump back onto the work/life wagon...I was wrong. Is it Friday yet? The highlights of my trip were many. But first...I had a moment. When we made it to the hotel, the emotions that had been building the entire day and week came bursting out and I cried and cried. Oh, how I cried! Uncontrollable, sloppy, snotty bawling that pretty much claimed an entire box of tissues. You see, the morning that we left my period started...a full 5 days early. I was crushed. I was sure that this was THE cycle. My emotions got the better of me but I quickly re-grouped and a little voice chimed up saying, “Go splash water on your face and get out! Go and tackle your NYC bucket list head on” And tackle we did! In short, we took in two shows on Broadway, made a visit to the 9/11 Memorial, saw the Statue of...
