I ain't lion

The other day I lied . So now I'm owning up to it. I'm comming clean!


1) I WAS indeed kicked out of Peal Jam's sound check. They are one of my favorite bands, so when they showed up to preform at the stadium where I worked I made sure I was on the floor. It was heaven, until my boss walked by, and told me to get back to work.

2)I DID have stiches in my togue. Its my earlies memory of pain I was fal-pushed down a flight of stairs and my teeth went through my tongue, 4 stiches age 5. (I still grimace when I see someone with their tongue pierced.) For the record, I was sedated while they stitched it up.

3) I DID steal from a grocery store. ONCE. It was purely by accident I had a case of water under my cart and the sales lady didn't see it. I was out to the car and felt so badly, I marched back in and paid for it. (I grew up in a grocery store, and all I could think about was walking out of my dad's store and not paying.)

4)I CAN NOT fit an entire fudgesicle into my mouth at once, I have a terrible gag reflex, I can't even brush my teeth without gagging. But I'm sure it would make a great party trick if I could.

5)I DO make up words, all the time. Mostly it occurs when I'm frustrated or tired or bored, ok it happens a lot. I have invented some very interestinglike swear words.

6)I DO wander around my neighborhood in various stage of unkemptlessness; like my new word; I'm just more of a creature of comfort than fashion. I live in my pj pants.


So, if like TS you selected #4 as my fib then you were correct! I would like to tag Joe Cap, dbs, and Copyboy to play along. (I would tag TS too, but I know Robyn did that already).

I'm a lion!

Robyn has tagged me to carry on the Lying Truth game. If you don't already follow Life by Chocolate get your bones over there now!

This originally started off as the lying game, and then some of the rules were tweeked, but I'm going to stick with the tweeked version. Five of the following tidbits are true, one is a fib, can you spot it?


1) I was once kicked out of Pearl Jam's sound check.

2) I've had stiches in my tongue.

3) I once stole from the grocery store.

4) I can fit an entire fudgesicle in my mouth at once.

5) I frequently make up words, and use them.

6) I wander around my neighborhood in various stages of topsy-turviness.

Hello wednesday, is it friday yet?

School started up for me and kiddo again yesterday, 6th grade and semester 4! And no major incidents to report, just kiddo thinking she missed the bus, banging on the neighbor's door to wake up the neighbor and then asking for a ride to school, only for the school bus to come down the street at the exact moment the neighbor agreed to drive her in. (Bought the neighbor 1/2 dozen muffin's last night as an apology for the 'false alarm'.) Last September I was sooo excited for school to start up, this September I'm marginally less excited, I'll blame it on my trip home to Newfoundland, unwinding me. Come on weekend, I want to sleep in again!


I was tagged by River, over at Losing on Purpose to answer the following questions, so here goes.

1. Who is your hero? Why? Have to pass on this one.

2. Do you have a garden where your grow your veggies? If not do you try to buy organic or do you find it costs way too much? I don't have a garden as such, I have several big pots in the back yard where I grow tomatoes, lettuce, celery, herbs, peppers and strawberries. What I don't grow myself, I usually buy at roadside stands in my community.

3. Do you use exercise videos? What's your favorite, why? I have a bunch of exercise videos, but I hate them, having two left feet and bopping around that close to the TV makes me nervous, least I fall into the TV.

4. Favorite workout music? Loud.

5. How do you measure your progress? 50 pounds lost equals something I really want.

6. Do you have any secrets to keep your energy up for your day in general? I need sleep. Without it I am a nasty nasty person.

7. What would your super power be if you could have one? The power of invisibility - works when you're being nosey, trying to get away, or put your foot in your mouth.

8. If you had the opportunity to move to anywhere in the world, where would it be? Hands down, back to Newfoundland!

Now I'm supposed to ask new questions and tag other people.
1) What was the last song you listened to?
2) What is your guilty pleasure?
3) What's the last book you read? How long ago since you read it?
4) If you could have dinner with one person (real, fictional, dead or alive how would it be)
5) What TV show season premiere are you most looking forward to?
6) If you were given $100 and 15 minutes to spend it, what would you buy?
7) What would your superpower be if you could have one?
8) What are you thinking of right now?

Tag: goes to everyone who reads this post! Because I'm lazy, I have to read a chapter for school.
