Awkward:
- Standing outside a store in the Texas heat, offering to sell your gift card to the people going in at a discount, while trying to look nice and honest and normal and not do anything to arouse the suspicions of them, the employees inside the store, or the security guards down the street.
- Not getting anyone to buy the gift card but in the meantime spending $4 on a strawberry-banana smoothie so you don't die of dehydration.
- Taking pictures of the bricks in the sidewalk on your phone just for the sake of looking like you're busy when people walk by.
- Cutting through a subdivision to save time and going down every single unmarked cul de sac before turning around and going out the way you came.
- Finding yourself whispering in the morning even though everyone in the house is awake.
Awesome:
- Not spending any money on your lunch break at work. Food from the fridge and paid for by your parents + an exciting library book (that's the important ingredient) = A break to look forward to without missing the mall food court.
- Watching an old Blimey Cow video on how to write a worship song in 5 minutes (or less)- and laughing so hard you hurt.
- Sitting around with your family and making your own cow costumes for Cow Appreciation Day (coming up Friday!), and everyone's costume is completely different.
- Eating cherry Jell-o without fruit or cheese balls or any of that stuff in it.
- Being able to say no to opportunities that you might have liked but aren't the best for you right now, and not having any regret at your answer.
- Listening to the sounds of humming insect wings and cooing doves out your window. It can't feel like home in the summer without it.
