i am a terrible liar + a giveaway

I am probably the worst liar ever. Andre' can take one look at me after a lie slips out and he will know that it wasn't the truth. We're talking little things here, people. Like who took Bowden out last.




So it's a really good thing that this link up is over the internet instead of face to face, because y'all would know for sure which one is the lie. 


1. My dad helped arrest Carl Lewis.
2. I went on a cruise through Greece and Turkey for my 8th grade trip.
3. The first time I went skiing, I broke my leg on the bunny slopes on the first day.














So which one do you think it is?! Number THREE is the lie! While I have been skiing before, I never broke my leg. (Actually, I've never broken anything...knock on wood!) There was that one time that I ran into a tree and got a concussion, but we're just going to pretend that little tidbit never happened. I went back a few years later and didn't fall once, so I think I more than made up for it!

Carl Lewis was an Olympic runner if you didn't know that, and in the 90s he was arrested in Houston for a DWI. My dad was DWI task force for HPD my whole life and that night must have been his lucky night! But not really because Mr. Lewis ran from the police station after they brought him in. And you just don't catch an Olympian when he runs away from you!

A history teacher at my middle school sponsored the best 8th grade trip known to man-kind. We flew into Athens, Greece and stayed there for 2 days and then took a cruise around the Greek Isles and Turkey for 10 days before coming back to spend another night in Athens. Santorini stole my heart - we actually thought about Honeymooning there but then we looked at the flight prices. Bahamas looked a lot better after that! But we WILL get back there one day so Andre' can experience it. Ever seen sisterhood of the traveling pants? You know the part where they ride the donkeys up to the house? It's 100% real. And those donkeys are MEAN!



On an unrelated note, I'm part of a really great giveaway over at Heavens to Meighan, you should check it out and maybe win some fun stuff.

here's a sneak peek of all the gifts you can win!

  9. Too funny! I was sure #1 was a lie. Yep, you can't catch an Olympic track star just like any other drunk driver, LOL. Greece is on our list for our next European Vaca. Hopefully next year. I've never broken anything either. Let's both knock on wood.

  10. Wow...that's a class trip! I am glad you didn't break your leg on a bunny slope although I almost did once. But it was nothing compared to the time I saw my sister hanging off a chair lift - no joke! Ahh...the gold old days!

  14. I totally knew #3 was a lie... I should probably quit my job as a news anchor and become a lawyer.

  18. Had to talk with a cop today about the whole tow ordeal and he was like man....when they find out who your dad is...man, he is in like the hall of fame! what a hard worker! he went on and on....we pretty much have some awesome parents. that sent us all to Greece. except Meg. did we have to pay for half or the whole thing? i think it was half? i totally thought it was Meg that got the tree concussion. I get confused with you two! Grammar police...I like to write how I talk, so there.
