- when you suddenly realize that it's December 1st and it is warmer outside than in the house. 73.3 degrees, to be exact. So, you turn the heat off and go around opening all the windows trying to air the house out. To top it all off, just as you're opening a window, the radio starts playing, "Come on weatherman - give us a forecast of snow tonight..."
- when the entire family is outside trying to catch a stray (and very, very fast) chicken. Ahhh, memories!
- a car full of mostly adults who are singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer at the top of their lungs...
- This one can go in either category, but I decided to put it under awkward.
When you intently stare at the guy behind the fabric counter at Hobby Lobby as he proceeds to CORRECTLY answer a couple of clueless college girl's questions about how to make and put letters on a hoodie. After he finished, I simply couldn't resist such a perfect opportunity...I smiled and said, "So, you been sewing long?" The look on his face was priceless.
- when a friend points at a star and asks you which one it is. Not having a clue, you're encouraged to just take a wild guess, so you say, "the North Star". This is followed by one of those "you've gotta be kidding me" looks... So, you look at the star again and only then do you realize that the moon is hanging just below it...
Awesome
- when you go evening gown shopping with your bestie for a Christmas party she's going to, and not only do you find the PERFECT dress (for a mere $25!!!!!), you manage to get it altered and a matching shoulder wrap made AND watch The Phantom of the Opera all in one day. Yes, we are awesome. :D
- when you send a toddler upstairs to wake up your sister. She comes halfway down the stairs and says, "Mana, her not wake up." So you tell her to go back and be a lot louder. "Ok, I be more louder." Then, a few seconds later you hear, "SAWAAAAAHHHHHH!!!! WAAAAAKE UUUUUP!!!!" I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
- when you talk to a very special life-long friend on the phone that you haven't seen in a couple of years and you end up going out to dinner the next day. Awesome. :D
- when you're home alone and get the uncontrollable urge to clean EVERYTHING. It's a shame this doesn't happen more often...
- going into a local quilt shop and finding the most adorable airplane pattern! I literally squealed when I saw it! I know a couple of little boys who are going to have one of those in the near future!
- when your 3 year old neice is "helping" you make aprons and says, "I wanna be like you, Mana." My heart melted!

Sorry about not having pics. I'm having trouble uploading again. :\ Hopefully, I can get it all straightened out one day...
Hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
