season of awk

so we're nearing the end of my fav, fall, and into winter. and you know what that means!

"tis the season!"

aka. tis the season of awk-weird:

• black friday shenanigans (thanks for scheduling me, Anthro, luvs ya XOXO)
• belting mariah carey's chrsitmas album (and realizing you weren't actually alone...)
• ice skating FAILS - the only time there's laughter in the presence of wet butts and bruised knees
• burnt tongues on peppermint hot cocoa, but it was KIND of worth it
• until said cocoa finds its way onto new cream sweater. joy.
• the man most victimized on counts of identity theft: mr. claus.
• fake smiling your face off at that gift "kind of love", per say....
• attempting to avoid the tacky christmas trend
• or overshooting and setting records in tackiness
• two unfortunates: egg nog & car wreaths. yes these fall under the same category: no. 
  
  
  just wanted to point out that there are quite a few other things that are awkward about this season.. not just me. (but mostly, me. )
  
  

some personals

• attempting to take my grad school test and being the only one who's test just isn't working
• not knowing what the heck is goin on with my life. but I'm ok with it. (Romans 8:28, Jeremiah 29:11)
• grandma driving on the ice
• attempting style pics (see below......)
• laughing at inappropriate times during the hunger games (those silly people at the capital just crack me up)

background story on that last one, I went to see the hunger games with a few friends and it was so stinking GOOD. as a reader of the books, I recommend everyone go see it. they did a great job with the time they had and the visuals were just A++. there were a few parts that me and my friend Kyndall couldn't help but laugh at. and our neighbor sitting next to me didn't appreciate that. we weren't being obnoxious at all - Lord knows I can't stand those obnoxious laughers - but we were laughing at certain scenes that probably weren't meant to be laughed at. which made it ever more funny. something Kyndall has helped me to realize is that life shouldn't be taken so seriously. no one gets out alive anyway, right? too many laughs go suppressed.. many that's what's wrong with the world after all.

 so, I come to you  with some unfortunate and awkward pictures. I'm choosing to laugh at them and "c'est la vie" it.

 happy winter, yall:)
