Awesome & Awkward: Car Wrecks, Walking Bridge and a Game of Pool

What a weekend!  I'm writing today from the comfort of my brand new apartment, and I am so excited to finally be here.  I've been counting down the days since January.  Crazy, right?  That's what happens when you renew a lease and then discover a beautiful new apartment complex being built across town.  Shout out to all of my amazing friends for helping me move and get settled in.

Here's the latest dish of awesome and awkward:

Awesome: A Qdoba (or any Mexican food for that matter) dinner date with Chelcey.  We met to discuss plans for our blogs and of course indulge in some chips and queso.  There's nothing like closing the place down and having the employees wondering what the heck we are in doing in there with notebooks, pens, binders, you name it.  Yes, we are very aware this isn't Panera.
Awkward: Nearly getting into a car wreck on the way there.  It was one of those "oh crap I got in the middle turning lane too soon, I better hop back into the regular driving lane" moments, only I failed at really looking to see if it was clear.  Thankfully I didn't pull far enough into the lane to hit anyone but it still made me feel like an idiot, especially with the other cars waiting to turn who saw the whole thing and the embarrassment on my face.

Awesome: Gorgeous weather and hitting up the walking bridge downtown with my sister.  Oh, and we may or may not have eaten at Chipotle beforehand.  If you ever have the desire to walk from Kentucky to Indiana (or vice versa) then this is the place for you.  The Indiana side knows what's up and has a cute little sweet treats shoppe at the end, a perfect reward for crossing the mighty Ohio River if I do say so myself. 
Awkward: When someone asks you to take their picture along the bridge.  I get it, you have the skyline in the background and the sun is setting just right, but I always feel so awkward when someone asks me to take their picture.  Do I count down for them?  Should I take more than one?  Well yes, I did count down.  And then decided to snap another photo as they started walking toward me to take the camera back.  I'm a pro, I tell ya.

Awesome: A first date consisting of dinner and drinks at a nearby bar.  This bar just so happened to have a pool table.  Now, my usual judge of success when it comes to pool is if the cue ball actually makes contact with another ball.  I don't even go so far as to hope to hit my own, either will do.  I'm the queen of whiffs.  Imagine my surprise when I ended up winning the game, all by myself!  I think I found my new hobby.
Awkward: Being told by a creepy old man fellow bar patron that I am the pretties girl in the whole place and the guy I'm with sure is lucky to have me, that is unless I'm his sister.  I'm going to be honest, this isn't the first time I've been hit on by a random while on a date with another guy.  At this point, I just laugh and brush it off but it still catches me off guard.

What are some awesome and awkward moments from your week?
