you want the TRUTH? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

so the answer to 3 truths and a lie? you want the truth?

you'll just have to wait. til the end of the post. YES! i am holding you hostage waiting to hear the answer. mean isn't it?

let me tell you about my day.

it started off with the alarm. and i just didn't want to get up. i was mid dream. you know when you are still dreaming, and you can't come out of it. stuck in dreamland. you need just 5 more minutes to finish it up and then you can easily wake up. YEAH. it was that kind of morning. except i didn't get the dang 5 more minutes.

i hauled my booty outta bed. rambled downstairs to get clothes for kids. and hand out pills.

Hope was up playing computer, and the dogs were in. (this part is important)

i was in search of underwear for someone in the laundry room when i stepped on what we call a dog pickle! (aka dog crap, dog dookey, dog doo, dog poo, CRAP! and $HIT!) STEPPED ON IT With my barely awake bare foot.

i yelled . lance chuckled. kids came to see, and yet no one brought me a paper towel until i yelled for one.

seriously. you hear POOP, and you bring something to wipe it off with.

it was so not my morning. the whole significance of the dogs in the house? no one let them out this morning. all night in, they come out of their room and crap. simple as that. dang dog. the key is putting them out. apparently Hope missed that memo. POOP!

we hustled. rushed and raced out the door. and they were still late.

it's the hair doing. we could probably be on time if i didn't groom them.

anyway.

after that things started perking up. i had a fab chat with my long lost friend Sarah.

and then i took a leisurely hot shower. and yes, i read in the shower. I've explained this before to some people. i stand in the hot hot water, and hold my arm WAY out in front of me, (my arms are super long) and i read, standing there. soaking in the warmth. i wash my hair one handed, turn the page with a damp finger, and keep reading. it's true. reading in the shower. it takes skill.

you wonder why i don't read in the bath? a) i don't like baths! b) half of my body is above the water level since I'm so tall leaving me cold. and c) my books get ruined worse from bath reading than they do shower reading. it's true. you'd know this if you ever dropped a book in the bath.

anyway. while i was reading and showering Lance came in and volunteered to go get beverages. YAY he loves me!

and i got dressed while he was gone with the little kids getting beverages. they love to go because he buys them candy and actually lets them get out of the car, unlike me who locks them in and runs in and out.

then we went to lunch, with my fave brother. and his wife Leeshe.
and Pierce actually stayed in the room. and ate his food. it was a miracle, that and it's not tired of going there, from going 3 times a week. we haven't done that in a LONG while.

then, we came home, and i did laundry. whee.

kids came home. they played with neighbors for a long time. turns out we have a fun house to play at. people want to come over. my kids are retarded though , and don't really play with them. i had to keep sending them out to play with their friends.

UGH.

after that i checked my email, and had an email from Paxton's teacher. turns out he's been having a hard time at school. and there was drama today. i don't LOVE that. not at all. LAME. he spent some quality time in the office today. that is NOT RAD.

hate it. alot.

so that brought on lots of lectures. and new rules. we'll see how that goes.

anyway. you don't care about this do you? I'll get to the answer.

anyone guessing #3 was correct.

# 3 was the lie. i haven't been to Mexico as an adult.
or even as a teenager. which is when the other romantic rendezvous occurred.

# 1 and #2 were with the same guy in California. when i lived there for part of my senior year. he was my make out friend.

#2-we made out in the rain at an empty soccer park after skim boarding with a group of friends. they left and we stayed. it was a good time let me tell you.

#1- on top of the hill overlooking city lights, I can't remember the name of it. ( but i went there to watch fireworks once, and other times. so it's pretty well known.remind me Sarah what is the place called?) it was almost this friends birthday ,he told me just before midnight , we were at the top and we celebrated his birth minute. it was pretty romantic when i was 17.

this guy was pretty great. he had all sorts of romantic notions. as far as kissing to certain songs, kissing in the rain, he was the best sort of make out friend. I've thought about him lots over the years. and guess what? he's my friend on facebook. pretty great. and he totally remembers me. which is pretty flattering. i was memorable once.

and # 4 was when i was 15ish on a group date. we had to make out behind a rock, since we needed a little privacy for that. it worked great until some of the friends climbed on top of the rock to spy. killing the mood.

ah the memories.

other good kisses....location wise

-on top of the A on "A mountain" (next to ASU)

-in a pecan grove

- at the lake on a dock

-under a pair of apricot trees in my backyard in front of a crowd. (@ my wedding)

seriously almost any kissing anywhere was a good time. still is. I'm all about the kissing. always have been.

I FIRMLY Believe in this song....

so there we are. now you know i never kissed anyone on the beach in Mexico.

good guesses though. i have to admit everyone knows me so well it takes the wonder out of the game. there isn't much challenge in it.

oh so to finish off the retelling of my day?

lectures. laundry, dinner.

leaving to drop off a couple kids to visit grandma. and i went shopping. I'm on a quest for vintage-y valentines. i bought a box, and promptly lost them somewhere at my house. i need them. i want to send some out. and so I've been on a quest to find more. there are none to be had.

but i did get my own valentine gift. it is darn cute. Lance went all out this year. let me tell ya.

(i buy my own gifts)

and then i had to get groceries, and whatnot. i finally got home around 10:30 only gone 4 hours. NOT BAD.

oh and super bonus of the day, i slipped on some spilled water in the kitchen before lunch, and i yelled a bad word. and Pierce repeated it. AWESOME. while doing the falling onto my Knee with a THUD , i pulled a muscle in my groin/thigh area. i hadn't noticed until i drove tonight. awesome!

so there. did you make it to the end. guess what else? i am doing a giveaway for my 100,000th hit on my blog. so watch for it. and you have to comment to win. it's kind of far away. but just so you know. there will be something fun coming up for that, and also for my blogiversary. in March.

random tidbits i know but i figured I'd slip in that info, for those that read the whole post. since it's long and wordy.

have a fabulous Wednesday.
