Revealing My Cards

Okay, I can drop my poker face and reveal the answers!

1. (I've taken over eight years of Spanish and still can't speak it fluently.) False. I've taken more like five years of Spanish and, alas, I am far from fluent. Although I like to pretend that I am. Often.

2. (My dad has played the Kool-Aid Man.) False. My sister concocted this truly-80s lie as a kid and her teacher actually believed it. At parent-teacher conferences, the teacher even asked my mom what it was like being married to someone in the entertainment industry. :)

3. (I was been bitten by a cottonmouth snake when entering my courtyard.) False. I was bitten by a snake in my courtyard but it wasn't a cottonmouth. And bitten might be a tad generous description. I had fang marks but no insertion point. Ick!!!!! Just thinking about that memory makes me squirm.

4. (I've been in the musical Oliver! three separate times.) Nope. But I have been in the show twice. "Please, sir, can I have some more?" "MORE?"

5. (I've played Capture the Flag within the last year.) I wish! Capture the Flag is by far the most fabulous game ever. Anytime I'm with a large group of people and I sense they might go for it, I make the suggestion. Sadly, it's been over a year since my last game.

6. (I've dressed up as dental floss for Halloween.) Ding ding ding! True! In middle school, I dressed up as dental floss and my friend Stephanie dressed as toothpaste. My costume involved a large box and rope tangled in my hair. Stephanie wore a cloth-covered bucket on her head. Cool? Oh yeah.

7. (I read the Twilight series in a week.) True! After watching the movie, I practically ate those books. Team Jacob. That's all I have to say about that.

8. (I watch White Christmas two times a year.) Nope. Great movie, great tunes, but I only watch this once a year. "Sisters, sisters..." I could definitely handle some of those costumes. :)

Thanks for your guesses and thanks again to Nicole @ One Significant Moment at a Time for this fun award!

Great list -- I read the whole Twilight series and was a reluctant Team Edward until I saw the New Moon movie. Totally Team Jacob now!

I should have guessed that you dressed up as dental floss. Heh.

Heather said...

Dental floss really? Wow, I'm curious as to how you pull that off. Are there pictures? ;) It took me a little longer to read the Twilight series but only because I live over 200 miles from a bookstore and had to wait for the books to be delivered! The UPS guy must have thought there was crack in the box by how frantic I got!

Kristi: Haha, I love that you were a reluctant Team Edward. So funny. :)

Avitable: It was a pretty remarkable costume: turtle neck, cut-out box, rope in hair.

Heather: Dang, 200 miles from a bookstore must be crazy hard!

Shoot! I missed yesterday's post and didn't guess. Haha, you dressed up like dental floss?? I'd love to see that pic!

Thanks for the lovely shout-out. Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
