Now That We Know What You Look Like, Let's Learn More! UPDATE:ANSWERS

I volunteer at an Assisted Living Retirement Facility and I do game night every Thursday night. I get so tired of word games and am constantly trying to find something new to play that gets met with some response other than, "This is so Stupid!" Recently, I tried a new game. I asked each resident to write down four things about themselves. Three of the things must be the truth and one should be a lie. It was our job to then guess the lie. Unfortunately, I am dealing with the very elderly and was getting responses like: 1) I am a woman 2) I have gray hair 3) I am wearing a blue shirt 4) I went to the moon...so the answer was pretty obvious, but in a few rare cases we learned some interesting facts.

So, here is the challenge. Write four interesting facts about yourself. Three must be the truth and one is a lie. The rest of us will try to guess the lie! Let's see who is the best guesser on DK! Here are mine:

1.) I love to sing Karaoke and once won a Karaoke contest singing Eye of the Tiger.

2.) In the last few years, I have seen Beyonce, Usher/Trey Songz, Michael Buble, Sugarland, and Brad Paisley in concert and my absolute favorite is Michael Buble.

3.) I do not drink any alcohol.

4.) I played competitive co-ed volleyball for years.

P.S. Hold off on giving any answers until people are done guessing. I will post an update and then we can all tell which is the lie. This is hard :)

Well, I learned some facts today. We have some inpatient people on DK..LOL. I won't mention any names.. OK, here is my lie. Go ahead and give your answer too. If anyone wants to tally up who had the most correct answers, I will post that too. If no one volunteers, I will do it later today.

My lie is #1. I have a terrible singing voice and once when I was singing to the American Idol game on the Wii (I think), my SIL and DD said it sounded like an animal was dying. They made Simon seem kind.

I have been to all those concerts and did play volleyball.

My husband said the reason I don't drink is because he has to drink, in order to survive me :) No reason..not against drinking, etc. I just don't like the taste. I hate tea, coffee, most juices, and Kool Aid type drinks too. I did like that almost everyone thought I was a drunk. Please don't kick me out of Yappy Hour because my drink of choice is Root BEER.

1) Although I'm a small town girl from Ohio I met & married my husband in England!

2) I met George Clooney at a Charity Event!

3) I used to help put together runway fashion shows in NYC, Las Vegas, and Dallas TX!

4) When I was Nine I took 1st place in a Dog Obedience Competition.

Ok, here's my answer!

1) I am a small town girl from Ohio (although I hated it) and I did meet and marry my DH in England. Met him on a blind date. Got engaged 6 weeks later and married 2 months after that. Here we are 25 years later.

3) I did used to help put together runway and fashion shows in NYC, Las Vegas, and Dallas for Nine West Shoe Corporation.

4) I did take 1st place in a Dog Obedience Show (4H) when I was 9. My Dad wouldn't even come to watch me because he said that I didn't put any effort into preparing for the show and that it was a waste of time for him to take off work to come watch. I showed him. Me and my little Toy Poodle beat out a big ole Doberman in a Sit and Stay as the tie breaker in the event. (He was right, we didn't practice, we just got lucky).

So, that makes #2 my lie. Even though George has been in Cincinnati for several weeks now filming his latest film, I have not actually met him. I did however, meet Susan Lucci once at a charity event!

Thanks Laurie, this was fun.
