awkward and awesome

ya'll, i don't know where this week has gone! and even though there is only an hour and a half left of thursday, i am going to continue with my planned post for today, since i've obviously been slacking on the blog this week.

awkward & awesome thursday was started by sydney over at the daybook... she doesn't really host it anymore, but it's always a fun one... especially since i feel like my life consists of entirely too many awkward moments.

AWKWARD:

• the bank teller calling me 'tori'. every. single. day. i go through the drive through... and me responding with a big ol' smile, like my name isn't actually 'lori'. i just don't have the heart to correct her. 
• phil collins 'in the air tonight' coming on as i'm pulling into work- so naturally, i sit in the car and wait for the drum solo... and i'm pretty sure the woman in the car next to me sat there watching the entire time i went to down banging on the steering wheel.
• the shuffle people do when a car stops to let them cross the street... arms at a running pace, but their legs are just walking like normal.
• shaving one leg and forgetting to shave the other... does anyone else do this ALL the time?!

AWESOME:

• we are set to close on the house on the 25th! {only 15 days from now... eeek!} they poured the driveway and installed the hardwoods, carpet and kitchen backsplash this week and we even have a mailbox!! i don't know what it is about the mailbox, but i got SUPER excited when i saw it... something about it just made the whole thing more real. {look out for more house pictures on the blog next week}
• the hubs is now on evening shift and i am not only loving spending my mornings with him... but it's even better when i can get him to do a chore or two while i am at work ;) 
• i have been doing really well with all of my resolutions so far... i realize we're not even two weeks in... but i've worked out 8 of the 10 mornings, and lost about 2 lbs AND i've already finished one book out of my 25.
• tomorrow is my birthday... i'm not overly excited about turning 26- but i am excited for a date night with the hubs, my parents coming to athens, and the surprise the hubs claims to have coming while he is working on saturday.
