Let’s play a little game, shall we? I’ll give you TEN things that have happened to me this week. ONE of them is a LIE. That’s right, pure FICTION. The rest of them are true. Originally, I was going to write a great description along with every sentence (basically, so you would believe me). But these are funnier on their own. So, READ. GUESS. And I’ll give you the answer tomorrow. And all my undying love and affection for whoever else thinks this is a funny list.
1. Made a date with my aunt to CAN TOMATOES.
2. Stepped on a BINDER CLIP at the pool and sliced the bottom of my foot open.
3. Went swimming with FOUR GUYS I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL with.
4. Led ONE HUNDRED 4 YEAR OLDS in singing.
5. Cooked dinner for nine of my IN-LAWS.
6. Missed a meeting because my husband took my kids AND MY CELL PHONE AND CAR KEYS out to dinner.
7. Discovered ON FACEBOOK that my cousin got married this week.
8. Accidentally stabbed myself with 2 bamboo skewers. IN MY ELBOW.
9. Ran TWO MILES without stopping.
10. Figured out the amazingness that is POKE on Facebook.
So, what do you think? Which ones really happened? Which one is the lie?
**update: read my update post to see which one is actually a lie!**

Well, this is fun!
I KNOW at least four of them are true.
So, I’m going with #9 as a lie. I think you ran 3.

I am going to guess #8, just because 2 injuries in one week seems a little worrisome, though I really have NO clue!! I hope you didn’t sustain both injuries!!What an eventful, crazy week for you! Mine was crazy but nothing particularly out of the normal under this morning- I broke a dish by dropping a spice jar on it, and I couldn’t believe that little jar broke it- must’ve hit at just that right spot that was a weak point. I just stood there trying to figure out if my eyes were playing tricks on me as my egg mixture for french toast spread all over my countertop and onto the floor!!

Ok, I gotta go with the running thing too. If you did run that, I’m gonna have to ask why you haven’t talked much about being a runner! Besides that, you’re gonna have to explain the poke on facebook because I super-duper don’t get the draw!
Now, off to think of ten things that relate to each other…

Not that you are unathletic, but from personal experience, I tend to scream it from the rooftop when I run anything more than a mile
Please do the POKE post!

I’m thinking the swimming with four high school guys. #1 it just sounds different than the rest, and #2 that would be TWO pool posts. Hmmm. But they’re all hilarious.

I am spending time seriously thinking about this. And laughing at it, but deep in thought… I have to guess the skewers in the elbow, because I just can’t get the mechanics of how that would happen. But I will tune in tomorrow to find out for sure…

I think it is #10, or it will take a lot of convincing that POKE is not the most annoying thing ever.

i think a binder clip would float. i’m guessing you didn’t run 2 miles or you don’t have 9 in-laws. that’s a lot of in-laws. you would be crazier.
fun!

how are you just discovering Poke? Hove you gotten into Super Poke yet? Can I throw sheep at you now? I was going to say that #1 is a lie, but you’ve been on a wilder-bend lately, so canning could definitely be in the works!
I’m thinking it’s the 4 guys from HS, too…

Just to be different I am voting for #1. Except for reading your blog I don’t know you, so I have absolutely no clue which one is a lie.
(P.S. I also have no clue what POKE is on FB. Will have to check it out.)
Thanks for hosting Top 10 Tuesday!

#10. Poke amazing? You’re on crack.
It’s just another thing I ignore and I’ve never quite discovered the purpose. And SuperPoke? Super annoying.
i’m going to guess #5 is false. 9 inlaws is that possible?
