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!**

Kathy @ House of Hills says
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.
oh amanda says
Hmmm…wow, you know FOUR of them are true? WTG, Kath! But my lips are sealed…
Charissa @ MiMi's Babies says
I’m going with #4. I think it felt like 100 kids! 🙂
oh amanda says
You never know…
mandi@itscome2this says
Oh my goodness! Yes, MUCH better w/out explanations! I’m going with #9 too, if I found out you ran I will have to pick my jaw up off the ground!
oh amanda says
Should I be offended?!
a
Crystal says
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!!
oh amanda says
#8 does make me laugh out loud…
a
Amy says
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…
oh amanda says
Wow. Who knew everyone thinks I’m so un-athletic?
Also. Thinkin’ about a whole post on POKE.
a
Amy says
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!
mandi@itscome2this says
Good point Amy! If she kept that quiet from twitter that would be even MORE shocker than her actually running 2 miles;)
Audrey says
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.
oh amanda says
Yeah, stepping on a binder clip and slicing my foot open WHILE I was with 4 guys from High School would be a little crazy all in one day…
a
Audrey says
PS I believe you ran all two miles. Go you!
oh amanda says
Whoo-hoo! Thanks, Audrey!! 🙂
{ahem. Did you see that Mandi & Amy?!}
a
MainlineMom says
OMG girl, HILARIOUS! I think the false one is the four guys you went to high school with. But who knows!
oh amanda says
Who knows, indeed!
a
Kari says
I’m voting for the four guys, too. Off to make my “guess the lie” list. Fun idea!
oh amanda says
Oh, good! Are you going to do the same thing? Can’t wait to read it!
a
Jen @ BigBinder says
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…
oh amanda says
The mechanics of the bamboo skewers….I love you, Jen!
a
staci says
I think it is #10, or it will take a lot of convincing that POKE is not the most annoying thing ever.
oh amanda says
LOL. I’m off to POKE you.
a
Raven says
I’m going to take a wild guess and say number 3.
oh amanda says
The 4 High School guys seem pretty popular—maybe b/c it seems like the stuff nightmares are made of? Or daydreams?!
a
Vanderbilt Wife says
Is it too mean to say I don’t think you ran 2 miles? I couldn’t either, if it makes you feel better. 😉
oh amanda says
You and Mandi and Amy! Hmph.
a
MamaHall says
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! 🙂
oh amanda says
You have to guess just ONE! lol!
a
Leigh says
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…
oh amanda says
I’ve never even heard of Super Poke! Oh, Leigh, you must inform me…
a
kelly @ miskellany says
my guess is the poke is the lie.
oh amanda says
Poke. Poke. Poke. You either love it or hate it.
a
Andrea says
Definitely stepped on the clipped. But the keys things…..that seems like something that probably happened too!
oh amanda says
Yeah, a binder clip at a pool…sounds weird, huh?
a
Carol@simple_catholic says
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!
oh amanda says
Thanks for linking up! Sadly, this weird list is highly descriptive of me…
a
Lani says
Wow! I’m not fun of poking in FB… summer is almost over here, just round up colld noodles/pasta I ate! Have a nice day!
oh amanda says
I love that everyone is concerned about the FB poke! LOL. Can’t wait to read your pasta post…hopefully I can find something for lunch! 😉
Mary @ Giving Up on Perfect says
Okay, I’m sorry, but I’m picking #9. Not that I don’t think you can run, but because the rest are so crazy, but I can totally imagine them happening!!!
oh amanda says
I can’t believe you sided with Jessie and Amy and Mandi!!
Ashley says
I’m going to vote that #7 didn’t really happen. 🙂 Thanks for hosting this awesome link-up each week!
Trina says
I’m going with #10….hoping that you truly don’t think POKE is awesome LOL 🙂
Teri says
My guess is #9 too. Based on what I know about you from reading the blog, this is my best guess and here is my supporting arguement…
http://ohamanda.com/2010/04/15/i-think-i-can-i-think-i-can/
oh amanda says
Oooh, Teri! You get double points for using my own blog against me!
a
Sarah says
I’m going with #3. Maybe it’s just because I’m not brave enough to ever do that! 😉
oh amanda says
Yeah. That’s kind of a weird thought isn’t it?
a
Gina says
#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.
Amanda says
i’m going to guess #5 is false. 9 inlaws is that possible?
Joelle says
Ok, I’ll go with #3.
Amy says
OK, I had to come back and see what everyone was voting for! I can’t wait to hear which is false! haha
Sarah @ Ordinary Days says
I’m going with the facebook poking.
also, can not wait to hear all about the true ones. What a week!
The Diaper Diaries says
I really want to vote for #9, but I fear it will make you hate me. So I am going to go with the in-laws. Cause I feel like you would have complained about that on Twitter 😉
oh amanda says
You get two points just for not siding with Amy/Mary/Mandi!
a
Becky @TheVioletFig says
I have to guess #9 because I think the only sisterchick capable of (and interested in) running 2 miles would be K-dogg!
oh amanda says
Grrrrr….
a
Gayle Rogers says
I think #1 because Sheila doesn’t seem the type to can tomatoes.
oh amanda says
Oooh, Gayle’s got some inside info! 🙂
a
Betsy (Eco-novice) says
I hope it’s 3. That’s possibly my worst nightmare.
Betsy (Eco-novice) says
Just realized I never attached my link — sheesh!
