And somehow, amidst all that, I’d still find time to work, hang out with J and Toopweets, finally master the art of making tiramisu, finish the Book That Everyone Said Was Wonderful, But I Think Is Totally Overhyped, And Yet I Still Keep Trying To Get Through It, eat, sleep, and of course, practice my “Total Eclipse of The Heart” karaoke number to entertain a certain pregnant friend on bedrest? (Don’t think I’ve forgotten about that, Amaretto!)
Oops.
I’m barely keeping up with NoBloShoeMo as it is, and all that requires of me is to TAKE A PICTURE OF THE SHOES ON MY FEET. And here I actually thought I could write something every day? For a MONTH??
I clearly have a bit of a time management issue.
While I am bummed about the prospect of missing out on of the NaBloPoMo prizes, I posted every day last November, and didn’t win a blessed thing. So I’m running a contest of my own, for the diligent daily posters among you, and the slackers like myself. I haven’t done a contest in a while, so I say the timing is perfect, don't you?
I took the idea from Stefanie; and the name of the game is…
Four Truths and a Lie!
Below are five statements about me. The object is to pick out the lie among them. (Warning: It’s trickay!) A winner will be drawn at random from all correct answers and, of course, receive a prize.
1. I have coated my entire head in Vaseline.
2. I know all the words to “We Didn’t Start the Fire”.
3. I was at one point in my life obsessed with Blossom.
4. When bored, I pass the time by thinking up names for an imaginary band.
5. I have been hit by a car.
You have until the end of Thursday to submit your guesses.
Good luck!

I think the first one is a lie. I believe there was some coating, but not ENTIRE head coating.
Focus on the shoes. That's my advice. That's always my advice.
Also, I'm finding it incredibly hard to keep up just reading everyone else's daily posts. I could not IMAGINE posting every day myself.
1. True. Only because it's first on the list and it's so outrageous that maybe you actually did it. And maybe, in third grade, they ere taking plaster molds of your entire heads, and Vaseline was the perfect emollient!
2. True. You're from the Tri-State area. Every person I've known from there knows every word to that song.
3. True. You totally dreamed that one day you'd be married to Joey Lawrence.
4. True. Just because.
5. False. Too obvious. Unlike smearing vaseline on your head.
Ditto to LVGurl.
Number 5 seems far too boring and simple.
You are a special kind of crazy ;)
I'm going with 4 being the fake one.
My vote is #5, because the others are too weird to be made up.
I'm running the same contest over on my blog. Check it out!
I think that being hit by a car is the lie.
#1 is too weird not to be true, so I'm going to go with the one that seems like it should obviously betrue--#2, We Didn't Start the Fire. I'm guessing it's something you've always THOUGHT you should know all the words to, but just haven't been able to commit. Or something.
Aw, hell; I don't know...
I've gotta go with #2 - I find it hard to believe that anyone knows ALL the words to that song, including Billy Joel.
Well, I was going to chose number 5, but then I remembered the time I tried to simply read the words to "we didn't start the fire" along with the song. Even *that* was impossible. So my guess is number 2. No one could possibly know all the words to that song! If you do, I want to see a video!
I think #5 would be the false one. Mostly because I was at one point obsessed with Blossom and I have coated my entire head with vasoline, but I have never been hit by a car.
And so of course, I assume these are everyone's experiences. I am the borg.
I think the Blossom one is a lie. Seriously, irritating.
And, I didnt know there were PRIZES for joining NoBloPoMo or whatever the abbreviation is.
i'm going to go with #5...since 1-4 are all true for me...
wait...no, the vaseline one isn't true for me either...damn..now i don't know.
hmph...i guess i'll still go with #5
Well, of course I want #1 to be true...so maybe it's NOT. Maybe that's the "trickay" part. Hmmm...or maybe I should go with my first impulse, which was #5. Surely if you'd actually been hit by a car, you would have posted about that, right? Or maybe not...
Oh dear lord, I'm going with...#5.
This is tricky. I'm guessing #5 is false as well.
There's NaBloPoMo PRIZES?
Wait, what was your question?
I'm so easily distracted by the promise of prizes.
Um, I pick three.
I think #3 is the lie. You seem more like a 90210 girl, less like a Blossom girl.
I think #2 is the lie. And, if it's not, could you please record yourself singing it and post it here? Ha.
I think number 5 is false. Unless it was like a little bump which, could you really call getting hit by a car?
Popcorn Cauliflower rocked my world! My entire family devoured it! Thanks!
I'm voting (and hoping) that you've never coated your entire head in Vaseline.
Or maybe you have and that's how it got so shiny.
At first I was thinking #5 because it's the only "normal" one in the bunch. But then I started to think that that's exactly what you want me to think. So I changed my mind and my final guess is #3.
I'm guessing that the Blossom thing is a lie. Or maybe hoping is a better word?
#2 is the lie.
I am going to guess #2 is the lie. I think those lyrics are tricky..but I can't remember them soo...
Yeah, I kinda hope number 1 is false, because otherwise I need an explanation on why you would ever put Vaseline all over your head? You know what - nevermind.
In case you need any help with number 4, Modus Tollens is the best name for a band. FYI, they exist, and they are awesome!
I just did this a couple of weeks ago on my blog, and it was so much fun!
I'm going to guess that number 3 is the lie. You were probably actually obsessed with Clarissa Explains It All.
are you sure there is a false here?
i think they all could be true and i just KNOW you know all the words to "we didn't start the fire."
Yes, my brilliant beautiful daughter did coat her hair with vaseline. She loved watching Mr. Rogers and thought that King Friday was real cool with his shiny hair. She took vaseline and rubbed it all over her head. She wore a "little house on the prarie hat for several days" since explaining the hat was much easier than explaining the vaseline. If this ever happens to you FYI prell is the only shampoo that will take that nasty stuff outta yur hair! Sorry dear, I gave one of the answers away. I was surprised J didn't know that one...keeping the family secrets. m
