True or False



Thank you for your guesses yesterday; I love the logic people used! Here are the answers:

1.  I was a majorette in high school. Think batons, twirling with fire, purple and gold tassels, and white boots! Totally true, but sorry, no pictures!

2.  I have my glider pilot certification. Sadly, this is false. I was fascinated with gliders in high school and made a small start on my pilot certification, but quickly found out that it is not a hobby for someone on a budget.

3.  I don't like different foods touching on my plate, and during a meal, I eat things in order from my least favorite to most favorite. True, and I'm glad to hear that others understand this.

4.  I underwent an exorcism when I was twelve. There were a lot of supernatural/unexplainable things happening in our house and it was determined that these were due to me. It worked! This one is false, but it did happen to one of my best friends. Her mother was sure that she was possessed and convinced their priest to perform an exorcism.

5.  I desperately want a tattoo. True, but I don't want to be an old lady with a tattoo.

6.  I hate things between my toes, to the point that I'm cringing even thinking about flip-flops. Absolutely true.
 
7.  I met and shook hands with Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinski scandal. I'm ashamed to say I found him charming. Yup, true.

8.  I can't eat candy with faces. This means no Peeps, no chocolate bunnies, no cute duckling Sweet Tarts. True. This one originated with my oldest son, but now holds true for me also.

9.  I have a Playbill signed by Alan Rickman. True. A friend knew my love for all things 'Snapeish' and gave it to me. 
 
10.  I am a former junior champion at trap shooting. Completely false.

Ten on Tuesday - April Fool's (or Not) Edition


The London Times ran a photo of "tartan sheep" said to have been bred by Grant Bell of West Barns, East Lothian. However, the Times warned, "Before you complain of being fleeced, check out the baa-code for today's date."

Because today is April Fool's Day, our Ten on Tuesday topic is a bit different (and quite possibly foolish) ! Carole has suggested that we share 10 things about ourselves - some true, some not, and then invite readers to decide which is which. I'll give you a tiny hint; all of these are true, but they may not all be true for me.

1.  I was a majorette in high school. Think batons, twirling with fire, purple and gold tassels, and white boots!

2.  I have my glider pilot certification.

3.  I don't like different foods touching on my plate, and during a meal, I eat things in order from my least favorite to most favorite.

4.  I underwent an exorcism when I was twelve. There were a lot of supernatural/unexplainable things happening in our house and it was determined that these were due to me. It worked!

5.  I desperately want a tattoo.

6.  I hate things between my toes, to the point that I'm cringing even thinking about flip-flops.

7.  I met and shook hands with Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinski scandal. I'm ashamed to say I found him charming.

8.  I can't eat candy with faces. This means no Peeps, no chocolate bunnies, no cute duckling Sweet Tarts.

9.  I have a Playbill signed by Alan Rickman.

10.  I am a former junior champion at trap shooting.

I'd love to hear your guesses! I'll provide the true and false answers tomorrow.
