That Awkward Moment...

Doing the "Awkward Turtle" since 94'

That Awkward Moment...

For anyone that knows me, I am the absolute queen of having awkward moments. It is the pure joy I get daily from either running into someone I hate, pushing when I am supposed to pull a door or the classic handshake/hug/fistbump thing that people do. It's the awkward moments in life that you can't avoid and at the same time just have to love and embrace them.

Can You Say Awka-Awkward?!?


1. The Awkward Denial Because Of Freshly Washed Hands

"I swear its water!!!"

2. The Unintentional Overshot Handshake Wristshake

3. The Dentist Conversation

Don't ask me what my summer plans are when I am numb and you have your hands in my mouth....

4. Holding the door open for someone far away and forcing them to run over.



5. When your server says, “Enjoy your meal!" and you reply, “Thanks, you too!"

6. Trying to "Raise The Roof".


7. Saying goodbye to someone then realizing they're going the same way as you.

8. Walking on a crowded sidewalk and inadvertently swinging your hand into someone's crotch.


9. That stupid jog that you have to do when a car stops to let you cross the street, when walking's too slow and running's too weird.


10. This Conversation:

A: “How're you?

B: “Doing well! How about you?"

A: “Good, thanks. You?"


11. Telling someone a hilarious story and realizing that they were the one who told it to you.


12. Thinking there's one more step to walk down and tripping over the unexpectedly flat ground.


13. Seeing your cousins that you haven't seen since you were four.

Awkward side hugs, you know what I am taking about..


14. Having "Happy Birthday" sang to you...


15. Attempting to parallel park with plenty of people watching you fail 4000 times.

16. Liking someone Instagram's photo from 56 weeks ago.....


17. When you talk to someone and your voice is gross and croaky because that was the first time you spoke all day.

18. Walking in an elevator with only one other person and your only conversation is "What floor?"

19. When you're caught looking a little too long...

20. And the classic: when you run into someone on the street and sidestep them, but they go in the same direction as you and you end up dancing.


TIP: When in doubt just pull out the "Awkward Turtle" move... works every time. (And Since Payton Manning did it, it must be okay)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
