Thank you Mama Kat for today's topic.
1.) Write about a time you shoved someone
Once upon a time when I was 24 and newly divorced, I met this guy in a bar. This song played (in my head) when I saw him across the crowded bar and I knew he would be mine!
We started seeing each other and hung out a lot at our favorite bar called The Gambler.
He told me about a long distance girlfriend named Melissa and that he'd been trying to break up with her for a year but she wouldn't have it.
And then he told me that he broke up with her and he was free to be with me.
He lied.
Fast forward a few weeks and I'm drinking an ice cold Coors Light at The Gambler when this giant goth looking girl walks up to me and asks if I'm Connie. I'm thinking she wants to know where I got my beautiful blonde hair permed but no....
It's Melissa.
I say yes and she shoves me. I shove her back and in a flash OUR boyfriend is between us and he and a couple security guards drag her stupid ass out of the bar. As she's exiting the building I hear her yell...
I knew you'd find a petite girl!
Me? Petite? I'm freakin 5'8" and not very thin!
And then I couldn't be mad at her and felt bad for having her banned from the bar because she thought I was petite.
I miss Melissa.
I'm not sure if I should say "Melissa rocks" or "I wish you had kicked Melissa's butt." LOL That's a great story.
ReplyDeleteLOL! It's so easy to forgive things when someone unintentionally throws a compliment in there!
ReplyDeletethat was one bad ass bar fight!! I'm in awe!
ReplyDeleteHa! I love starting my morning with a belly laugh. Love your writing style. Love you. Thanks for the the morning LOL. I will say I DO hate you just a little bit for your gorgeous blonde hair. Mine has probably cost me $100.000 over the years. :) and if you say me this morning before brushing it you would think I have been majorly ripped off.

I think I like this Melissa! :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO! Ah, Melissa. I knew a Melissa once. Sounds about the same. :D
ReplyDeleteWay to see the silver lining.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! What a great story! Bless her heart, she didn't even realize she was throwing a compliment at you.
ReplyDeleteHA! Love that story, Connie. I don't know, I'm kinda feeling bad for Melissa. Blame it on the guy. Whenever you're in doubt, it's always the guy's fault ;)
ReplyDeleteI love hearing your former life stories!!!!
ReplyDelete~Becca
that is hysterical! and anyone who calls me petite is a friend of mine :)
ReplyDeletebwahahaha! I love this!
ReplyDeleteI LOLed at this!!! I'd keep even my worst enemy around if she said I was petite!
ReplyDeleteHa....maybe you and Melissa should have banded together and gotten the dude banned from the bar. Anyone who can throw a compliment at someone who's suppose to be their enemy can't be all bad, right? good post.
ReplyDeletehi from Mamak's
LOL! That is a great story! Good for you for standing your ground. I'd probably run away if someone shoved me!
ReplyDeleteOMG, you just made me laugh before coffee! That never happens! Super glad you were in my Blogher thing on the sidebar, you Petite thang, because starting the day off with a laugh rocks!! GREAT STORY!
ReplyDeleteOh sweet, stupid Melissa...Petite is never an insult, no matter how hard you try!
