Marilyn and Me

Three days a week I teach early morning Seminary so I wear a skirt or dress. And since I really despise doing laundry and changing my clothes multiple times a day means I have to do more of it- I often stay dressed up all day long. Anyway, yesterday was one of those days.

Shortly after lunch Spencer and I headed to the store for groceries. I wasn't thinking much about my clothes until I got out of the car and my skirt flew up over my head (I am NOT kidding- it literally flew up into my face)! Of course, I was embarrassed but I was between two cars and my car door was open so I figured no one really saw me. I got things under control (or so I thought) and headed across the parking lot for the store entrance. I didn't think it was a particularly windy day and I certainly wasn't standing over a grate but my skirt flew up Marilyn Monroe style about 52 times before I got inside. It was really embarrassing! The funniest part though, was Spencer's reaction. He was absolutely mortified and angry with me! (like I was doing it on purpose!?!) He finally forgave about the time we got to the check out stand- just in time for it to happen all over again on our way back to the car.


Anyway, I love the skirt and hate to get rid of it but my experiences yesterday are definitely a result of its poor design. I am afraid the skirt must go- I am just not a cute as Marilyn when a gust of wind comes my way!
