Memory Monday Mash Up - Awkward and Awesome

Awkward:

The fact that I have the following jingles/song lyrics memorized. If you do too, this is why we are friends.

  • Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun.
  • I toured around the world, from London to the Bay. It's hammer, go hammer, mc hammer, you hammer and the rest can go and play.
  • All 6 words in Smells Like Teen Spirit
I had the meanest Young Women's president when I was 15ish. We had a garage sale for a YW camp fundraiser and I found a witch's hat. I gave it to her and told her it reminded me of her. She wore it the whole day. It turns out she was really Christ like and I was a mean young woman. [I saw her in the temple a couple of months ago. She remembered me.]

When I was 14 I was at a youth fireside and out of no where I snorted. I wasn't laughing or even talking. It was as though I needed to sneeze but a loud pig snort came out.  I. Wanted. To. Die. .

The feeling of insecurity I had/have around teenagers. As a young child, especially as a teenager and even now. I'm so not cool enough!

Awesome [and a little naughty]:

Garen and I convinced Gina that licking the end of a 9 volt battery would taste like strawberries. She tried it. It didn't.

I made my first baby quilt when I was 12. [yes, sewing had to enter this post. I just love it. and mr. bernina too.]

Garen and I had a paper route from 12am to 4 am 5 days a week when I was 17. We ate a lot of Shari's food, watched movies at the Silverdale Hotel with Ryan, and played really bad music really loud.

I guess that's all I've got...I'm not that awesome after all.  :)

  1. I didn't lick the battery. Garen licked it! I thought you were crazy.
