Awkward and Awesome

- Melody

Today is Thursday! Do you know what that means?

AWKWARD AND AWESOME DAY! Weeeeee.

Today’s been a pretty good week. To tell you the truth, it’s kind of difficult to come up with lists of things because my days are so short. I go to school with the same people in the same classes and then I come home and watch Golden Girls. No. That isn’t a joke.

AWKWARD:
-Being the first one stopped in a construction zone and having to avoid eye contact with the person holding the sign.
-Not being able to tell our choir accompanist’s dry humor from his seriousness.

AWESOME:
-Having my latest class cancelled on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
-Because of said cancellation I was able to have lunch with my mommy and the church staff again!
-Having a really good voice lesson despite my exhaustion from singing Handel’s Messiah for an hour and a half just before.

Mexican coke and hot sauce at the restaurant we discovered today!

Santana’s. It’s connected to a gas station. 🙂

Next week, Brother Bruce, our pastor, said we’re going to Napoli’s, an Italian restaurant, in downtown!

What was your day like?

It’s Me Again

So. My title “The Sometimes Blog” seems impersonal, boring and it blends in. I need something that pops! That’s ME!

Here are some buzz words…

Red (my favorite color.)
Redhead
Ruffles (they’re pretty.)
Pretty Things
Melody (that’s my name.)

Cupcakes
Chocolate (!!)

So, there you go!

I Love Jungle Cats

Today’s Wednesday and I wish it was Friday already. Spring break is next week and me, the hubs, and my family are going glamping* all week! Sigh.. outdoors, relaxation, and family for a week. I can’t wait!

Outfit:
Cardi: Old Navy
Shirt: F21 (sister gift!)
Jeans: F21
Shoes: F21
Belt: ?

PS: Lipstick is the lipstick I blogged about here. Thanks to my friend Randa for pointing that out today! 😀

 

*Glamping: the act art of camping in tents but with rugs, night stands, grills, mattress pads, air mattresses and mattress stands.

My First Outfit Post: Cranberry Legs

- Melody


Today was the first time in about a week I actually planned out an outfit. I liked it, despite that fact that the skirt I wore has an awkward seam a couple of inches down from the waist and my shirt kept bunching up making me look thicker than I actually am! Perfect self-esteem booster. 😉

Yes. This was taken in the bathroom. Don’t judge. Our house isn’t finished.

My faaaave cranberry tights. I just rediscovered them in my drawer. They’re SO soft!

 

Outfit:
Tunic worn as shirt: F21
Skirt: American Eagle
Tights: F21
Boots: Goodwill ($4!!!)

PS. Found out today that one of my friends reads my blog. So I can’t lie anymore. Thanks, Kim.

Bowling Made Me Sore

- Melody

My parents head up the college group at our church and Sunday night we went bowling. Ahhh, there’s nothing like sweaty overused shoes, loud obnoxious rap music, and not being able to hear your own voice that really makes you connect with your friends. Or scrolling through your sisters pictures the next day and realizing how bad you need a haircut and to start working out again. Partly because of the pictures and partly because I’m sore today. From bowling. I’m old.

Our friend, Austin, turned out to be a serious pro. I thought at one point the leaguers next to us would recruit him. While he was bowling 130-170 we were bowling 40s and 50s. We aren’t friends anymore.


My pop pop!
Leaguers had their own rolling duffel bags. Are those really necessary?

I love this app, Instagram. There are so many filters and you can follow people who have the app, too!

The CD from this came in today! Woo!

Saturday the hubs and I went to Laneville’s semi-final basketball game in Tyler. Jason works there as their tech director. It was really a lot of fun. They lost, but played a good game. I had forgotten what it was like to go to a good high school game.

This is my name tag from my audition at University of Texas at Tyler on Friday. Would’ve taken a picture of myself but I was ready to get into my PJs as soon as I got home at 6.

 

So, how was your weekend?

Awkward and Awesome

- Melody

ALMOST forgot about this post today. It’s been so crazy! I have an audition at UT Tyler tomorrow so I’ve been preparing for that and stressing out about how much attention our house need. And how much quiet time I need. Honestly, I’m not really excited for this audition. I’m prepared. I still just don’t feel that magical orb of whatever that makes me gravitate towards this school. I don’t really know what I’m gravitating toward at the moment actually. So, if you think about it, sneak a prayer in for me!

SO! On to the awkwardness…

AWKWARD:
-Was sitting in the music building alone and saw a guy-with no one around- throw his binder at a helpless squirrel. I was so. angry.
-Only eleven out of 25 people showed up to class today. We still had class.

AWESOME:
-Our choir teacher invited the girls choir over to his house for lunch instead of class! Hello nachos, fruit salad, pink lemonade, and coffee ice cream!
-Talking for an hour and a half with friends at said lunch
-Husband encouraging me and hugging me through a bad afternoon

 

So, how awkward/awesome was your day?
