Tuesday Truths

Ah, I needed an excuse to blog. So here it is: Ten Truths, but one is a Lie
(Answer at the end.)

1. One of my daughter's surprised me this week with this:

2. I want to get my belly button pierced.

3. I love temporary tatoos.

4. Another daughter surprised me with this a week ago:

5. I don't have a single tatoo.

6. I love temporary peircings.

7. I've wanted a tatoo since I was 16.

8. I had my ears double pierced, but it was so painful, I let the second holes close up.

9. Belly button piercing hurts, according to the one in the above photo.

10. I'm wearing red boots.

Christopher was right. I have NEVER wanted my belly pierced, not even once.


And these are my red boots. (Even though they look brown here.)

Tuesday Truths

Tuesday Truths Exposed

Was this confusing? These were all "I nevers...meaning things I've never done or that have never happened. If one of them is false, it means it DID happen, lol. Just wanted to clarify. So the answer is:

9. Been struck by lightening

Now this is an interesting little tidbit. Every time I highlight my hair, I am struck (or experience) a bit of "lightening." Because of the typo, this truly makes this statement false in a riddle sort of way. Because I've had my hair lightened many a time. I love a good riddle. Don't you?

I've also experienced a bit of "lightning" too. Maybe not a direct hit, but one that crackled very near. Close enough to zap me as it traveled down my umbrella. There was a spark, the zap that was stronger than static electricity, and I let go of the umbrella.

It's a double whammy. Number 9, typo and all, is false. Twice.

Now for the answer to Tuesday Truths.  I threw the winning guesses into a basket and drew out the winning guess.  The winner is....Lauren!  She was the only one to guess correctly. Congratulations Lauren.

There you have it.  My secrets revealed.

Truth Tuesday

I started to write a Monday Musings, but realized it was Tuesday. What can I do for Tuesday? How about Truth Tuesday? Just for fun, I'm going to list ten truths and 1 untruth. See if you can figure out which one is not true.

1. Growing up, I was painfully shy.
2. I've never shoplifted.
3. I had a pet boa constrictor snake and carried him around in my shirt pocket until he got too big.
4. On a first date with this guy, I stepped off a curb, and fell face down in a parking lot, scraping the skin off of my nose. The guy was laughing so hard, he didn't even help me up. And I was dumb enough to go out with him again.
5. In junior high, I set a school trash can on fire.
6. One of my kids was born with a knot in her umbilical cord.
7. I've walked naked on the beach before.
8. I don't have a favorite child, even if my kids think I do.
9. In high school, I asked my boyfriend if I could hold the keys to his Camaro. My girlfriend and I drove it to McDonald's for lunch, even though she couldn't drive a stick and I didn't have a license. I shifted while she worked the clutch. That boy must have trusted me.
10. I've fallen asleep at the movie theater before. Okay, more than once.
11. I love escargot, but haven't eaten it in almost 30 years.
