24 lies ... and a truth

I have been reading a lot of interesting lists of "25 things" on Facebook. I thought I would make my own, with a twist! Here are 25 things about me ... but only one of them are true! Let's see if you can figure out my hidden truth.

1. I am a confessed chocoholic. I can't get enough of it!
2. Usually, I rely on others to take pictures of get-togethers and send them to me.
3. I use Turbo Tax to do my taxes.
4. Teaching 6th graders was so much more fun than 1st and 3rd graders!
5. Banana is the best Laffy Taffy flavor ... ever.
6. Chicken and wild rice soup is my favorite meal on a cold day.
7. If I had it my way, I would wear skirts everyday.
8. Mom claims that she thought of my name while watching the Rocky movies.
9. State Farm is my preferred insurance provider.
10. I consider the new Diet Mountain Dew can to be a great improvement over the former one.
11. My ideal family would consist of a husband and two children.
12. I can beat anyone (especially my roommate) at Nertz. (aka: Nurtz, Nurts, Nerts, Mertz, Dutch Blitz, Squeal, Squeak, etc.)
13. I'm not much of a morning person.
14. In fact, I need a couple cups of coffee to wake myself up.
15. I take after my brother, as I am a fantastic chef.
16. Golf is my favorite sport to watch.
17. I have always thought Dawson's Creek was a stupid show, a complete waste of time to watch. (I mean, who would watch it every single Wednesday night ...)
18. 18 is my favorite number.
19. Winter is my all-time favorite season. Gosh, I LOVE the snow, being cold, winter sports ... the whole bit!
20. My favorite WWE wrestler is J.B. Layfield.
21. I prefer CSI to Law & Order any day of the week.
22. I cannot travel without Skittles and a pop.
23. Eggplant is delicious.
24. Ice cream just isn't ice cream without whipped cream on top!
25. I am completely spontaneous ... I never plan anything ahead of time.

Any guesses?

Dang stupid browser... sorry I disappeared from chat, I'll be back once I finish commenting.

Add a 25th lie...

"I'm an accomplished and excellent liar..."

I know the answer :D, but I won't tell in case anyone else can't figure it out... except I'm pretty sure everyone else who reads this knows you better than I do.

I'm afraid to guess! What if I'm wrong?!? :) I think I know which one it is though...

Talia said...

the point is for you guys to post your guesses! don't be afraid!!!

Victoria said...

There are several that I KNOW are false, but others, I'm not so sure about. I'm going to go ahead and guess #6 to be true: chicken and wild rice on a cold day.

I have a true/false question for you:

It's ok for Victoria to be reading blogs at 3:03pm on her first day back to work. True or False?

Bob Thompson said...

I'll go ahead and guess that you truly can't travel with out skittles and a pop...

kjp said...

I know that you're named after the woman from Rocky, but I don't know if you're mom came up with it while watching it. But, I'll go with that one.

Dauvit Balfour said...

Gah! Pink! So much pink!

Yeah, I thought I knew, but I was wrong, so I'm out of guesses... maybe 6, but I don't have a clue.
