I totally blanked last week and forgot to post. I'm so sorry, Internet. There will be two posts this week to make up for the oversight.
Lb2 has a b-day later this week and he is cringing each time we remind him of it. So fun! After his birthday, we will have a little bit of time til mine. Now I don't dread it ,per se, I just kind of want to ignore it. Is that weird? I feel awesome when everyone forgets to call or send gifts. Like I unlocked a brand new achievement, Forgotten Relative! Also, I don't have to make awkward conversations. You know, "How does it feel to be [insert age]?", " Um, same as the year before, sooooo....... ". That one was very uncomfortable.
I feel so obligated to make things feel smooth that I get super anxious when we drift into Awkwardville. Now, my family will find that funny. As far as they know I live in Awkwardville, population:me. There is a difference between intentional awkwardness, the side of town I live and love in, and accidental awkwardness, the place where we wish for holes to swallow us whole. That is where I dread drifting into. It's super hard to leave.
If you too live in Awkwardville, feel free to leave a message below.
