Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Today is Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter. It is the day of the Last Supper, when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples and established the Holy Communion. Maundy Thursday is also called Holy Thursday, the day before Good Friday. 

I hope everyone has some really nice plans for Easter!

Today is also Awkward and Awesome Thursday.  This fun post is sponsored by Sydney over on The Daybook
Head over there to check out more Awkward and Awesome posts.

My format is a little different this week, because as it turns out for every awesome thing that happened, there was an equal awkward reaction.  Let's check it out.....


1. Awesome: A lovely pedicure with toes painted a fabulous shade of spring green
        Awkward: It had been waaay to long since my last pedicure.  Oh the shame of those feet!

2. Awesome: Breakfast with friends that I haven't seen together for a very long time, at a cool diner no less.
       Awkward: Breakfast? What was I thinking?  I am not a morning person at all. 


3.Awesome: Husband and son in Chicago for a few days for some manly bonding time.
      Awkward: me being alone in the house for the first time in 19 years.   Yea, I got over that pretty quickly!


4.Awesome: Finding a TV series on Netflix to get sucked into.  Don't you just love when you find something cool to watch that you missed out on the first time around?
      Awkward: The show is Ally McBeal.  Who didn't watch that show back in the 90's?  It is embarrassing when people say... what? you didn't watch that the first time around??  Where were you?, under a rock?


5. Awesome: Finding the cutest pair of shoes to go with the dress I am wearing for  Easter.  I actually wore the dress to son1's graduation last year and I never liked the sad shoes I wore with it.  I am going to look oh so cute now.
       Awkward:  The very young and cute guy at the Dillard's shoe department flirting with me.  Seriously dude, I could be your mother, although I like saying your cool aunt a lot better! 

Today's inspiration came from Tracy over on The Closet Shopper.  She paired her red jeans with a pink top

 and I thought the idea was brilliant.

For some reason my shirt is coming off a bit more orange than pink, but it is a pinky, salmon color

Love it with the red.

Tracy had rolled up her jeans so I just stole that element and the sandals were chosen because there was a picture on my inspiration board of  similar sandals with rolled jeans.

Here's wishing you all a Happy Easter celebration and that it is much more Awesome than Awkward!
