slightly awkward shelly: May 2012
http://www.slightlyawkwardshelly.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 11, 2012. When my dreams fix my reality. Sometimes my brain decides that reality just isn't cuttin' it anymore, and takes matters into its own hands. It does this via my dreams, and it can be rather discombobulating in the morning. Sometimes the first hour of the day is spent sorting out dream from reality, and then the next few hours are spent being upset with reality and wanting to take a nap. Well, we'll take care of that! The worst part about these dreams is that the way that everything i...

Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Flirting: The duck analogy. I should start by disclaiming that this is not my original analogy, just an awesome one that I am stealing a friend of a friend and choosing to relate to and illustrate for all of you. Feel free to pass any thank you's along, I'll be sure they make it into the right hands. As I make myself sound. I told her that I'm sure that I actually seem. You are like a duck. On the surface you look totally calm and together.". Like you other quack-ers, there is ...

Sunday, April 19, 2015. Mommy Milestones from the First Few Months. Now that my baby is just over a year old, I figured that it was a good time to write down what I remember of those first few months of mommyhood. You know, now that those memories are a little faint and incomplete, and only the exaggerated versions have persisted in my memory banks. Milestone #1: Sleeping in my own bed. Before you leave the hospital after you have your baby, they give you a little training on how to take care of your new...

slightly awkward shelly: March 2012

Thursday, March 1, 2012. The argument for dating a shorter man. Extra fantastic and extra tall, because I have gotten several comments like "If I was only two/three/four/eight inches taller; I would totally. Date you". At first it was strictly flattering, but then I started to experience a hint of frustration. Really? The only reason we can't date is because of my height? It was at the moment that I realized that I was as much of a culprit as any of them, I am a heightist! 1 Our children will thank us.

slightly awkward shelly: September 2011
http://www.slightlyawkwardshelly.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 9, 2011. Provo throws off my game. I used to be pretty good at getting asked out when I put my mind to it. Getting asked out was like a game of chess (this is back in California where the dating culture is vaguely less."special"), it was all about strategic placement. There used to be a couple of steps to getting asked out, and they went a little like this. Step One: Acquire Target, Make Eye Contact. BAM Easy enough right? Step Two: Strategic Placement. If you're in California. A gallon...

Wednesday, January 23, 2013. How I ended up dating a shorter man. I first met Marty in the summer of 2011 at a ward. Let's rewind just a little bit. A month or so before this meeting, Marty had been called to be our home teacher. With our advice and opinions, and she promptly began to inform him that his future wife would not like these long hours. I then countered that my preference would be to marry a workaholic, because there's nothing that drives me more nuts than a lazy man. I think this may...I hav...

Friday, July 29, 2011. The worst date ever. You know those times when you are hanging out with a group of friends and bad-date stories come up? Well, here is the story of my worst date ever. This was a date I went on back home in California, so it's been a couple of years now, but it still reigns as the worst. I had met a guy at a young single adult. Dance, we'll call him Bob. Bob chatted me up, asked for my number, and he seemed like a nice enough guy so I figured, why not? I start out determined to con...

Thursday, October 20, 2011. I mulled over writing this post for a while, because I may be giving away a vital trade secret, but I love my readers so I'm willing to take that chance. I've also been neglecting you for far too long, and maybe this is my way of attempting redemption. Anywho, back to the announcement:. I have discovered a Man Cafe in Provo. I'm also willing to bet that it's not the only one. Holy smokes that was a good sandwich! I am all about numbers games. The more guys you meet, the mo...
