Awkward + Awesome / Sunday Best

  Good afternoon, dear readers. Life is crazy! Lately, it has been full of the fun, the mundane, the usual, the unusual, and of course, the awkward and awesome! Today I get to recoup a bit, and have the chance to blog. Yay! So, please join me as I recap this week and share what I wore to church last Sunday.


Awkward:

* Having your blogging friend send pictures for a guest post (multiple times!) and never being able to open them. Oh, internet...why do you do this?
* Making an enormous mess in the kitchen while baking a small chocolate cake.
* Getting pulled over by a cop while I was driving because we forgot to put the new 2014 sticker on the license plate. Phew...I didn't think I was going that fast. ;)
* The dog suddenly getting sick right at bed time.
* Having the man who owns the house across the street ask what I'm doing with my life, telling him I'm working on my artwork among other things, and having him ask if I want to use my artwork to paint the house. Hmmm...can I do a mural?
* Feeding Copper in the laundry room, bumping the bike next to his food dish and having it fall over on my foot (yes, we have to keep our bikes in the house).

Awesome:

* Attending an 8th grade graduation for a young friend we've watched grow up for many years.
* Spending an afternoon helping out some friends who are busy renovating their home.
* Eating some of aforesaid cake - it was worth the mess. ;)
* Being less sore after my last workout! Things are looking up.
* Kicking back last weekend and watching the Timothy Dalton version of Jane Eyre with Mom.
* Teaching my last drawing class of the year yesterday.

   On Sunday morning I had an outfit all picked out for church, only to discover a huge clump of squished chocolate on my dress (add that to the awkward list *cough*). After frantically digging through my closet, I put together this outfit. The cute black blouse with tiny white polka dots is something that I picked up a couple of years ago on one of our trips. I have hardly given it any use, however, because the knit part on the bottom just never seemed to work with anything. On this day I tried it with my new denim skirt, and guess what? I thought it looked okay! ;) I wore red shoes to give the outfit a pop of color, and embellished my updo with a brown and red leather flower. Now I have a new church outfit and have figured out at least one way to wear my blouse! :)

Do you have a piece of clothing in your wardrobe that you keep hanging on to, even if you don't know how to wear it?

Do you ever have to make last minute changes before church or any other event?

"You will show me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

~Psalm 16:11
