lies and not lies yada yada
21 boring things. 3 are lies. The rest are not. Thank goodness Granny tagged me or I might never have posted again.

2. My first voice recital was last year.
3. I used to make (and alter) dresses for weddings.
4. Spouseman and I have been together more than half of our lives.

9. My favorite color is pink.
10. I started reading 50 Shades of Grey today.
11. I broke my flute on a marching band trip.
12. I’m addicted to games. Pretty much all kinds. (Facebook is sucking the life out of me right now.)
13. I played hookie in high school exactly once.
14. I threw a water balloon out of a window in a bad part of the city during a mission trip and the men/boys it hit found us in the church and scared the bejeebers outta me.
15. I look for big bumps in the road and say “whee” when i find a good one.
16. I was excited and proud when I voted for Reagan, but I don’t think I have been since.

don’t like chocolate, favorite color pink, children quiet and well-behaved.
@ordinarybutloud - mmm. kay. that was easy. i’m such a bad liar.
@promisesunshine - that’s a good quality.
@promisesunshine - also, maybe it wasn’t easy. Maybe I’m exceptional and pay close attention to my subs (but not in a creepy way).
7, 9, 18 totally didn’t look at obl’s comment before I decided that either. You’re an open book! ; )
@lanney - @ordinarybutloud - i certainly knew the one about the children was a give-away. i was getting bored.
My guesses: 4, 13 and 18.
@RighteousBruin - met 25 years ago today. my friends and i went to a store and it wasn’t at all far from the high school. it was very silly. you’re absolutely right about the kids.
I’m afraid to guess. but I bet 13 is false.
The lies I have no clue. But I am seriously laughing about the very last one. Such an impression was made if that is indeed true. Oh my!!
@plantinthewindow - nope. that’s true.
@MzSilver - it was at the reception actually. and they didn’t even know.
I knew #18 and #9 but the #7 is a surprise… are you an alien? You don’t like chocolate? egads! Can I have yours?(hehe)
The one about chocolate has to be a lie. Has to. HAS TO!!!!!!!!
Well, now that the cat’s outta the bag, I guess we can get some more dirt from you. What did you sing at your first recital last year?
@leaflesstree - i don’t just like it.
@murisopsis - yes, i am an alien. but you can’t have my chocolate.
@Kellsbella - Til There Was You and Por dicesti, o bocca bella and a duet with the girl
@promisesunshine - Cool! You’re a soprano! I knew there was a reason why I was strangely fascinated by you….
@Kellsbella - i swing both ways.
Naughty!
@Kellsbella - i have to be naughty. it’s a day ending in y.
Yes, so much more comforting than all those other days.
Fountain in winter…no way.
I know your kids…no way. But they’re damned good in my opinion.
You started the book a week ago, maybe longer.
I should disqualify myself, I think?
@Bricker59 - no reason to disqualify yourself. you only got one lie.
chocolate, pink, kids. what I was thinking. you have the chocolate chromosome, after all.
did you know my mother cannot eat chocolate? it triggers migraines. if you did not know this, why aren’t you being more attentive to my needs?
@distractedbyzombies - but only milk chocolate. don’t like dark or white (which isn’t chocolate at all). i have a friend who gets migraines from grapes. no wine for her. imagine!! dang, i need wine now. well, i don’t mean now. of course, because it’s only 10 in the morning. but i certainly will later because i’m part of a cracker jack chaperone squad for an afternoon of hell at an amusement park with 50 former 5th graders. so. see to my needs, mister. tomorrow will be your turn.
@promisesunshine - I think you need to come down with something. Is what you need. Then a little medicinal wine before bedtime.
need to come up with an attitude adjustment. maybe some chocolate.
Arrived to late for the fun but I want to know about this Grand Canyon thingy in Penn.
7, 15 and 18?
@Grannys_Place - 15 is absolutely true. my dad called them “carrie bumps” when i was a kid. i nearly sent an washing machine through the roof of a chevy citation when i was in high school. and i haven’t grown out of it yet.
@vexations - Wellsboro, PA. I have one heck of a camping story about that. we went in summer- i think it’s more dramatic in fall. lots of good information about the president who put people to work. (my brain refuses to work right now)
# 1, 5 and 7. When you have a sweet tooth, you will eat anything to satisfy your craving. Chocolates are ‘craveful’. (made that word all by myself)
@ZSA_MD - when i wrote this it was the last day of school and i did swing on the swings. and clash of the titans is epic. love it. and it’s bad.
of course i like chocolate.
How did I miss this? Sometimes I go to bed too early, and that’s when y’all post like crazy and I never catch up reading.
@songoftheheart - imagine how i feel, i’m at least one time zone from most of all yall. everyone is getting revved up when i’m turning into a pumpkin.
7, 9, 18. I thought this was supposed to be difficult silly!
@onestepcloserto_perfection - i’m a failure at being sly. sigh.
