Thank Buddha for the lovely, sassy, and sweet Saucy B who tagged me in this week’s Liar, Liar meme. I actually had about four different blog posts written but I couldn’t think of which one to publish. I’ve been in a bit of a February funk (anyone else prone to feeling a bit low this time of year?) and I didn’t want that to come through in my writing. I started a “how to date online” post to the single men on the market because sometimes they need pointers, too, and maybe I’m getting a bit frustrated with the games they play (looking at you, Ethan). I’m not mad atcha’, just think that maybe we can learn from each other, right? Stay tuned!
So apparently I have to share five things about myself, but four of these are lies. Can you guess which of the following is true?
1) I received my Private Pilot License (PPL) in the summer of ’02. I have already flown a helicopter and a single-engine land plane.
2) I am a beer connoisseur and was first introduced to a hefeweizen at Oktoberfest when I was 14.
3) I was the coxswain in college for the novice women’s rowing team (eight women). I also coxed (hee) the men’s varsity team for a competition.
4) I have been swimming since I was four and was a lifeguard for years at summer camp.
5) I could never give up eating meat with a German mother who knows how to make a good sauerbraten and schnitzel.
Interested in playing along? Here’s what you need to do!
- Display the fugly graphic above.
- List four lies and one truth about yourself.
- Link up at Yeah. Good Times.
- Pass this on to five other bloggers.
I won’t put anyone on the spot, but if you’re interested in playing along, let me know so I can follow you back and leave you some bloggy love!
Finally, I would like to introduce you all officially to my big sister Connie of Sogni e Sorrisi. We are participating in Krysten’s bloggy big sister/little sister program and I couldn’t be more excited about this. I want to learn all there is to know about this community and I’m eager to learn from Connie, who has a very steady following with her colorful, adorable, and fashion-forward blog. She also wrote me a beautiful letter which arrived yesterday and I can’t remember the last time I received anything in my mailbox that wasn’t a bill, wedding invitation, or baby announcement. It was a wonderful surprise. I miss the good ol’ days when I would wait for the mailman. Connie, expect something soon!
I don’t know why I think you’re a vegan, but I do so I’m going with the last one. I’m probably way off 🙂 Also, I LOVE me a good Hef!
P.S. Not sure if you already new this but you’re at 100 followers, woot! I never woot, I don’t know what is wrong with me today. Anyway, happy friday and have a great weekend!
I have no idea which of those is true…I seriously suck at this game! lol
Thanks so much for the mention and the kind words. Definitely looking forward to learning from one another. And I so agree about the snail mail. Feels so much more special to send and to receive!
As for the online dating advice I think that sounds like a great idea for a post. I’m in awe of those who deftly navigate this brave new dating world 🙂
Happy weekend!
Oh, sweet Charlotte! There’s so much to comment on!
1. Yes, yes and YES to the February funk! The gray, the cold, the never-ending snow = blahs. Let’s clink hot chocolates and make it all better, yes?
2. Your dating post: lookin’ at the men idea is fab.
3. Your truth? Hmm- maybe the swimming? I don;t know! But definitely let me know which one! I could never play this game. Why? I’m a HORRIBLE liar! True story (heehee).
And 4. I *love* that you got a handwritten letter and a beautiful one at that! That might be one of life’s sweetest surprises!
Okay, that’s it! I hope you’re well, friend! 🙂
Lord I have no idea which one’s true. #4?
Must be the beer, surely? 😉
Aw, thanks for the kind words girl. This little exercise has been so fun. hee hee As for your truth, i’m going to guess that you’re a little fish and that you were a lifeguard.
I’m going to say..number 4? This is fun! I can’t wait to see which one is true!!
I think the beer is true. It’s awesome! lol. But I cannot fathom which is the lie really. Tell us!
It would be way cool if #1 was true!
New follower…your 101st to be exact!
I am stumped. I don’t think the meat one is true because you are vegetarian now. I think the swimming one is the truth and others are false. Am I right?
I hope you had a swell weekend.
I think it is so, so cool you have your pilot’s license! How often do you fly?
Well, I cheated and read the current most on the correct answer. #3 did make me giggle.
I hope it’s 2!
Hey there. You’re going to feel just like I did. I got that award too, and now I’m passing one on to you myself. Come and get it !!!
