Dirty Little Secrets

I've been tagged, I think?
Terryn is it me Melissa or is it some other young cool chick? Well, I'll tell all my dirty little secrets anyway...

What was I doing 10 years ago...
10 years ago I was dating the worlds ugliest bachelor. I won't name any names because that would be rude, however I want you to understand that I am talking seriously not attractive at all. The thought of rubbing sunscreen on his back makes me feel a little naseaus still. While dating we were supposed to meet at a Young Adult Fireside one Saturday night and he never showed up. I thought it was wierd. I went home and went to bed and decided I would see him at church the next day. At 6:00am my dad comes barrelling into my bedroom and wakes me. I was understandably groggy and he demanded to know why I had gotten engaged and not woken them up to tell them last night. I was stunned. I said I did not get engaged... and he said, that UG (Ugly Bachelor) announced at Ward Counsel Meeting that he had gotten engaged last night. I said we had a date but he never showed. Then we both just sat there for an awkward moment, each of us realizing that not only had I been stood up, but also dumped in the same night! My dad slowly backed out of my bedroom and in comes my mom to console me. I was not only humiliated by a guy in my ward for all to see, but it was the UG part that bothered me. If he dumped me, then what was I, a monster! ?

Then I met Dave and I forgot all about my humiliation. The sexiest man in the world wanted me and that's all that mattered.

  2. I wish I was more reserved.

Yes, you were the Melissa I tagged. But I think that you are a young cool chick! Anyways I was dying reading that story about Mr. UG! I can't even believe it.

I know you can't even imagine a young beautiful woman with a monster. Oh I'm not Belle from Beuty and the Beast you say...Well I do resemble her more than all the other princesses.

I was loving the UG story because I got to be in just a hint of it. I love reading the quirks about you. I have to admit there were a few that I had never heard. Who knew you and pears were sworn enemies? You Rock and I have had so much fun getting to know you. (I secretly think you are the girl version of Timmy with a few differences-- so I like you.)

Margene said...

all was true. I love you, Dave and your family just like you are. I am glad you didn´t say that your legs look like mine. Mine are much prettier with all my blue veins popping out. Just get my taxes mailed off. please.

Dave did tell me you were bad about phone calls! I love the UG story, was the lucky girl UG too...lets just pretend she was and it was best for the both of them....he was also intimidated by your beauty! I too go out in public looking like death warmed over!

Lorena said...

Loved the UG story! :-)

Erin said...

I remember when you had your Wet Seal job... that was the coolest thing ever! I was so jealous, I think I was working at Blockbuster that summer or something boring like that.

Vanilla Coke is one of my sinful luxuries... so, so good!

Shannon said...

So Mr. Ug was working it! A slightly similar thing happened to me with a gooch. I too remember envying your job at Set Seal. I knew that I was not even close being cool enough to work there. You sooo were.
