Ten Words and Things I Miss

Gentel-Keith-Getting-Ready-143

Blogging on the weekends is SO much harder than I thought it would be! You’d think since I wasn’t at work I’d have all this free time to read blogs and write posts. I wish this was true.  I feel so disconnected from my blogger peeps! I’ll post a weekend recap tomorrow but in the meantime, let’s catch up.

Day 11: Sell yourself in ten words. I’m not really sure what I’m selling myself for … but here goes :)

1. Passionate.
2. Dedicated.
3. Committed.
4. Positive.
5. Loyal.
gee, this is harder than I thought
6. Genuine.
7. Caring.
8. Gracious.
9. Impatient. (hey, its who I am…)
10. Thinker.

Day 12: Something you miss.

If you’ve followed my blog, you know what I’m probably going to say. :)

There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss my grandparents more than I can express. Sometimes I think about it too much and it hurts. I miss their smiles, their hugs and kisses, and the way time seems to pass so slowly when we are together. I wish I could just pick and move to Hawaii so I could see them every day. Or I wish I could win the lottery so that I could fly there whenever I wanted. Until then, I cherish the memories and photos I have of our times together.

On a lighter note — the other thing I miss the most, is our wedding. Our wedding day was truly the BEST day of our lives, filled with so much love and support. It was absolutely better than we could have ever imagined. It is a day that I wish we could live over and over, and over again :)

Oh how embarrassing…

I’m really late with today’s post, it’s just been one of THOSE days. You know the kind — all hell breaks loose before 8am and doesn’t stop until 5. Oyyyy. 

Anyway. On to the topic of the day. Most embarrassing moment. 
A few years ago, I was in class one day. Some senior-level marketing course, with an instructor who spoke very little English. It was the easiest class and we all basically played on our laptops the entire time. 
One day our professor showed us a commercial that aired in a different country so it was in a foreign language. I looked up from my Mac confused and turned to the kid next to me and said “can you translate that for me? I have no idea what the message was” And he got incredibly offended and said “I don’t know I’m not Indian”. I was MORTIFIED. I KNEW he wasn’t Indian, but I thought the video was in Spanish!! I tried to back pedal my way out, but to no avail. I felt so bad!! And embarrassed :/ 
To this day, that kid and I are still Facebook friends and every.single.time he posts something, I think of that moment and get embarrassed all over again. 
So there ya have it …. What’s yours??

Moment

*Day 9, Thursday:* A moment in your day (this can be just a photo or both a photo and words).

If you follow me on Instagram (#gentelly) you already saw this photo, but I love it so much I’m choosing it as my “moment” for today’s challenge.

 
 
This was early Sunday morning. Keith had just left to go golfing, so I made myself a banana nut iced coffee and settled in for my daily post. With the sunlight coming through and a warm breeze from the window, it was a picture perfect moment. My life can get crazy and hectic, so I try to appreciate these quiet moments when they happen :)
