Awkward and Awesome Friday

Today we say goodbye to January.
Hard to believe the first month of 2014 is gone.
Awkward:
  • The over the top reporting the local weather people did before our "snow storm".  Talk about more hype than outcome....
  • Washing my sweater exactly as directions instructed and still having it shrink.
  • Breaking a 3/4 filled bottle of dill.  Not only was glass everywhere ~ the kitchen smelled like dill for hours.
  • Wondering why I was so cold in my car and then looking down and realizing I never actually turned the heater on.
  • The moment when you realize you don't have a brown thumb, but a black thumb as you look at all the dead plants in your house.
 Awesome:
  • Surprise visit from son2.
  • Seeing the videos and  pictures of my nephews in Louisiana sledding in a laundry basket.  It's a really big deal for Louisiana to get snow!!
  • Finding my lost iPod in a purse I hadn't used for months.
  • It's the last day of my birthday month and I have one more birthday dinner to eat.
  • A good old fashioned snow day!
 
Yes, I decided to brave another look using white. 
 I am happy to report no mishaps this time around.
I love how the winter white just pops with the 
varying shades of purple. 

Let's hear about your awkward and awesome moments in the comments.

The white jacket with the shades of plum/wine looks beautiful, wintery and gorgeous! xxx

Great white jacket-love it! I had to laugh about your birthday "month". Our daughter in law has one of those, too. Are gifts your love language? Brad and I recently took that quiz and it was quite interesting!

I agree, that winter white is a welcome variation on all the black. Nice with the purple/burgundy.
