My Day: A Totally Awkward Collaboration

This is yet another TAT post hosted by Tova Darling.

You all have to understand that I don't even THINK this post deserves a Totally Awkward Tuesday post. My day sucked, and it was awkward. The horrible part was that it wasn't even that funny!

So, to begin, I woke up this morning and I didn't feel good. When you screw up, you always blame it on the fact that you feel like you're dying because you have a stuffy nose. It's human nature.

Then I went to English class. This essay I worked hard on got slaughtered in front of the class (AKA: My teacher read my essay in front of the class and took a pen and BLED on it.) There were so many typos in the essay. I was so embarrassed. I realized how much my writing sucks. I am scared to even write this post, honestly. Is that awkward enough?

Then in my next class, my teacher was drinking water. So, I thought, Okay. She's drinking water. I guess I'll take my water bottle out...

So, I take a sip. My teacher screams at me. IT'S WATER PEOPLE. I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION. I NEED TO DRINK WATER.

But Moxie is too shy to mention that in front of a class. Now I have to call my doctor and have him FAX all my teachers proof and evidence that I am a freak of nature. (And on later TAT posts, I will give you examples of ways that teachers have treated me like a freak of nature. Stay tuned.)

And to top off my day, some freshman (FRESHMEAT. FRESHMEAT.) fell on my head. Yes, it was raining cat and freshman.

I am only joking. I was sitting outside on the concrete for lunch (I'm sure you all have heard me rant about this before), and some kid pushed his "friend" into my person. Said freshmeat apparently was slow, because it seriously took him about 3 minutes to get off my head.

Okay, freshmen falling on my head like raindrops is kind of funny.

So there you have it. A very nontraditional Totally Awkward Tuesday. I guess my day was destined to suck to epic proportions, because it's Tuesday. But at least it was awkward.

So yes, please, go share your Totally Awkward Post on Tova's blog. Why? Because it helps cleanse your soul. It's totally like blogging yoga. :)

Stay beautiful!

Beautiful Sunday/The one where Moxie falls off a golf cart

One of the decorated pews.

BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND! My sister got married, and everything went beautifully. I am so thankful that she found the love of her life and that we all got to celebrate this together as family and friends.

Thing that kind of sucks... Today, I totally fell off the back of a golf cart. I am very thankful that I didn't get hurt that badly, just a few scratches and a few bruises that really hurt. I got checked out by a doctor and everything, I am alright.

I am greatful that this happened today, and not before the wedding. :)

Now, what are you greatful for? What's beautiful in your life?

The one where Moxie seems to have a lot of bad luck....

You guys remember that skull I made about a week ago?

Well, while it was being fired in the kiln, it fused itself to the shelf... and cracked on the top of it's... head.

Just my luck, right?

At least the pottery shop is giving me another opportunity to paint another piece of pottery just like it, for free.

I guess I have to look on the bright side, but it's still a bummer that all that work went to nothing.

Then yet, we'll see. They aren't throwing my skull away, so I am still going to take it home and see what I can do about it.

I have no idea if it is possible to cut through pottery, but if I can just find a way to do cut a hole around the crack without damaging the rest of the skull, then I could make a planter or something out of it.

So there would be a double bright side... NO! Triple.

1) I'd get to have fun painting another piece of pottery FOR FREE.
2) I still get my original skull, and I may get a planter out of it too.
3) I may learn something new.

So, wish me luck, and if you have any idea how to cut into pottery... Then SPEAK UP. :) Please and thank you!

Much love,
Moxie
