7 Truths and 1 Lie, Answer Revealed

Alright, for those of you who wondered about the lie in the April Fool’s Day post, here we go:

1. When I was very young, 4 or 5, one of our neighbors became upset about something and sent me home. Evidently I was worried for her so I picked her some flowers and took them to her to cheer her up, all of my own accord. TRUE - I don’t remember it but my momma told me about it.

2. When I was about 4 my mom helped me learn how to do Somersaults. I was very proud of my newly acquired skill and I wanted my mom to do some with me, so I asked her, “Can you do MommySaults?” (Do you get it yet?)TRUE - I think I must have been a very cute kid. ;)

3. My dad brought home so non-alcoholic beer when I was about 16 just for us kids to try. We each took a sip and promptly spit the nasty stuff out. My dad chuckled while we each declared we would never drink real beer ever. I still haven’t ever had a sip of anything alcoholic. TRUE

4. I was a social outcast for my early years. Painfully shy and determined not to be like other girls, a so called Tomboy. My only friends were boys and books. TRUE

5. I am a treat-aholic. I love to bake and eat sweets. My favorite dessert ever is a deep dish Cherry Pie. FALSE- Did I trick you? I do love to bake and eat sweets but I really don’t like Cherries, especially cooked.

6. I didn’t kiss a boy till I was 17. After that I only kissed one other guy and he is now my hubby. TRUE

7. I went to my 11th Grade Prom alone. I had it on good authority that a boy two years younger than me was planning to ask me and I didn’t want to go with him. He was super annoying to me in class and I was a bit immature so the very day I heard the rumor I made it known I already had a date. But I didn’t. Then I went to prom and told everyone my “date” had to cancel. TRUE - And those of you who said it must be false since I didn’t seem like the type of person who would do this, made me feel even more guilty. ;) I wouldn’t consider it now and I certainly regret it. I also felt very guilty about it at the time but I was more selfish then. Ah, the stupid things we do when we’re teenagers.

8. I won second place in the 8th grade spelling bee. The word I misspelled: Guard.
TRUE- Yeah, it’s pathetic that I mixed up the A and the U. But so it is, and I’ll forever knock myself over the head about it.

Now, seven more things you might not have known about me, courtesy of Liza

1. I love candles! I have a large collection of them that I like to rotate through. A nice smelling home is important to me. Especially to cover up the stench of baby diapers. ;)

2. I like to dye my hair light orangey red. I haven’t done it recently but whenever I dye it that’s the color I go with. I’ve always wished I was born with the beautiful red hair all my aunts and uncles have.

3. I’ve always wanted to dye my hair purple or blue. But I haven’t dared to do it since I’ve become a “mature adult”

4. My favorite vegetable is corn on the cob. Corn is good anyway but it just tastes better on the cob

5. I do all the assembly work around here. Like putting our bookshelves together, putting the boys bunk bed together. Hubby doesn’t like to do it and I do. I like tools.

6. My favorite animals are Gorillas and Octopuses. I have a small stuffed gorilla collection and an even smaller octopus odds and ends collection (one octopus magnet & one octopus key chain). Why don’t they make more cute octopus stuff?

7. Christian Bale is my favorite actor. My favorite of his movies is Batman Begins. I also love him in Little Women. I can’t wait for The Dark Knight this Summer!
