Six lies and two truths about Isabel
February 5th, 2008 @ 7:01 am
  1. My first husband was too broke to afford an engagement ring for me. So I bought my own ring. He never paid me back.
  2. I’ve never seen an episode of “Friends” from start to finish. Gasp, I know.
  3. I’m a Mormon.
  4. I named my kid after a character in a movie that I was attracted to. Totally.
  5. My glasses are fakes. They are totally a fashion accessory. There, I said it.
  6. I had never traveled out of state until I was nineteen. I made the trek all by myself. Just to say I did.
  7. My grandpa escaped Nazi Germany when he was a young boy. On his bicycle.
  8. I can pee standing up and I do so more often then I care to share here.

So tell me, do you think you know which of these are the two truths? If you do, e-mail me at holaisabel [at] gmail [dotcom] with your picks. The first three people (who do not know me in real life) to correctly guess will win a super duper awesome prize. (Which may/may not be a mix CD of super cool music.)

And for fun, why don’t you post your own list of truths and lies in the comments (or on your own blog).

    OK, I’m in. And I’m probably not in the first three correct or incorrect answers because I spent so much time trying to analyze each one and see if I could remember anything from prior posts that gave away the answer. Yeah, I know this isn’t for credit or anything, so why am I trying so hard?!?

    [...] Who knew I was so good at lying?February 6th, 2008 @ 7:01 am Thanks to everyone that played along to yesterdays game of Six Lies and Two Truths about Isabel. I was happily surprised at how many e-mailed guesses I received in my inbox. I hate to admit that I spent way too much time yesterday filtering through them. I’m also surprised that only one person correctly guessed the two truths. [...]

    [...] I’m sure you’ve seen this type of post around the blogosphere already — Isabel started it, and many soon followed in her footsteps (keyboard taps?). And now I, too, am jumping on the bandwagon. [...]

    [...] Three more liesFebruary 7th, 2008 @ 7:01 am I’ve got a few more lies to fess up to before this week is over. One I’m happy to admit was a lie, although many of you were hoping it was the truth, is that I can not, in fact, pee standing up. Carrisa was nice enough to point out that technically I can pee standing up. We all can. But dude, it’s messy and it not my preferred method. So yeah, that one is a lie and I’m ashamed at all of you who thought that was one truth! [...]
