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!**

It’s YOUR turn! Can you narrow down your last 3 days into ten crazy events? How ’bout your last ten meals? Ten books? Ten things you yelled to your kids? Whatever it is, we want to hear it! WRITE a Top Ten list on your blog, LINK back to me, PASTE your url in the linky below then start LOVIN’ on the rest of the Top Ten {Tuesday} participants!

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.
Hmmm…wow, you know FOUR of them are true? WTG, Kath! But my lips are sealed…
I’m going with #4. I think it felt like 100 kids! 🙂
You never know…
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!
Should I be offended?!
a
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!!
#8 does make me laugh out loud…
a
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…
Wow. Who knew everyone thinks I’m so un-athletic?
Also. Thinkin’ about a whole post on POKE.
a
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!
Good point Amy! If she kept that quiet from twitter that would be even MORE shocker than her actually running 2 miles;)
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.
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
PS I believe you ran all two miles. Go you!
Whoo-hoo! Thanks, Audrey!! 🙂
{ahem. Did you see that Mandi & Amy?!}
a
OMG girl, HILARIOUS! I think the false one is the four guys you went to high school with. But who knows!
Who knows, indeed!
a
I’m voting for the four guys, too. Off to make my “guess the lie” list. Fun idea!
Oh, good! Are you going to do the same thing? Can’t wait to read it!
a
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…
The mechanics of the bamboo skewers….I love you, Jen!
a
I think it is #10, or it will take a lot of convincing that POKE is not the most annoying thing ever.
LOL. I’m off to POKE you.
a
I’m going to take a wild guess and say number 3.
The 4 High School guys seem pretty popular—maybe b/c it seems like the stuff nightmares are made of? Or daydreams?!
a
Is it too mean to say I don’t think you ran 2 miles? I couldn’t either, if it makes you feel better. 😉
You and Mandi and Amy! Hmph.
a
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! 🙂
You have to guess just ONE! lol!
a
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…
I’ve never even heard of Super Poke! Oh, Leigh, you must inform me…
a
my guess is the poke is the lie.
Poke. Poke. Poke. You either love it or hate it.
a
Definitely stepped on the clipped. But the keys things…..that seems like something that probably happened too!
Yeah, a binder clip at a pool…sounds weird, huh?
a
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!
Thanks for linking up! Sadly, this weird list is highly descriptive of me…
a
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!
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! 😉
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!!!
I can’t believe you sided with Jessie and Amy and Mandi!!
I’m going to vote that #7 didn’t really happen. 🙂 Thanks for hosting this awesome link-up each week!
I’m going with #10….hoping that you truly don’t think POKE is awesome LOL 🙂
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/
Oooh, Teri! You get double points for using my own blog against me!
a
I’m going with #3. Maybe it’s just because I’m not brave enough to ever do that! 😉
Yeah. That’s kind of a weird thought isn’t it?
a
#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?
Ok, I’ll go with #3.
OK, I had to come back and see what everyone was voting for! I can’t wait to hear which is false! haha
I’m going with the facebook poking.
also, can not wait to hear all about the true ones. What a week!
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 😉
You get two points just for not siding with Amy/Mary/Mandi!
a
I have to guess #9 because I think the only sisterchick capable of (and interested in) running 2 miles would be K-dogg!
Grrrrr….
a
I think #1 because Sheila doesn’t seem the type to can tomatoes.
Oooh, Gayle’s got some inside info! 🙂
a
I hope it’s 3. That’s possibly my worst nightmare.
