Oh Boy Sghetti Squash

Today, I had my fair share of "Oh Boy" moments. Like during track practice when the boys' soccer team walks by and I say how attractive soccer boys are. Oh don't worry. They all heard me. Or better yet. When I have to do a back-walk-over in the front of Spanish class. Nailed it! Not... Most . Ungraceful . Thing . Ever ! That's all that needs to be said. But don't worry, at the end of the day, I can say that I had an amazing day and I get to eat Sghetti Squash. And no! I like spelling it that way thank you very much. So, for all of you who aren't awkward like me, I hope you have an amazing rest of your day. And for those of you who are awkward like me, well I guess we can just say, "Oh boy," and walk away. That's all....
