everything but the kitchen sink.

my mom joined some facebook group "the really awkward moment where you dont know whether or not to hug someone."

heh.

so, speaking of awkward moments...
backstory: our friends are taking a whirlwind honeymoon tour and will be gone for about a year. in the meantime they have put most of their stuff in storage, leaving a few items behind for us to babysit. we find this awesome. luke got some tools to borrow. i got some cookbooks and some spices. i asked about the pots and pans too. my thinking was if i can use fancy pots and pans i can create a NEED for them when i have to return them and then i can justify buying my own. so we agreed we would store the pots and pans too.

ok this is where it gets awkward.

so some time had passed and the garage was filling up with tools. the cookbooks were packed neatly in boxes.

"did you still want me to store your pots and pans?"
pause
"ooh, yes, but i need to do some inventory for the trip first."

so last night they stopped over for the last time to pick up some things and drop off some other things and still no pots and pans. im totally fine not storing/using them. i can see how there might be hesitation bc they are nice. i am not offended at all by that decision... BUT... i want to go back to the second conversation we had. i didnt realize it might have been awkward at the time. and i kind of wish they felt comfortable enough saying something about it. and now i have this unresolved question.

or they could have just found it easier to put them in storage in the end and i am crazy. both are possible. both are awkward.
