HONEST, I DID THAT TOO.

I'm told a meme is something about oneself. Like me, me, me? Anyway, this Versatile Blogger is a meme that is making its way around the blogs. I have my friend Nina Pierce to thank for sending it to me.


This blog made me rack my brain and come up with some obscure factoids about myself and, I hope, some clever trickery. This Versatile Blogger "award" comes with some rules. I'm supposed to list seven things about myself that are true. Like Nina, I'm going to switch things around a bit and make one of those in the list totally false. I'm telling SIX TRUTHS and ONE BIG FAT LIE.

I'll also join Nina in her contest. To make things interesting, I'll award one lucky commenter a copy of one of my backlist books. Deadline 5PM Friday, July 16.

So here's my list. Tell me in the comments which one is the BIG FAT LIE.

1. I have canoed white-water rapids.

2. I earned two master's degrees.

3. I own three rescue dogs and a Maine coon cat.

4. I spent a summer living with a family in Paris, France.

5. My husband and I have won dance contests.

6. I traveled Europe on the back of a BMW motorcycle.

7. I used to live in Houston, Texas.

Now to share the wealth. I'm conferring this honor/award/challenge to 5 of my friends. Let's see what you all can do with your seven things that may or may not be true.

And don't forget to guess my BIG FAT LIE in your comments to be entered to win a book.

  1. Okay, so I couldn't help but play along since I got you into this. *g* A couple of the truths I know for sure ... but that didn't help whittle down the list much. LOL! You and the hubster do a lot of things together, but I'm going with the dance contest winners as the lie.

  2. Susan,
    This is hard. I can see you doing all of those things! My guess is number 7. I don't think you've lived in Houston. Of course, I could be totally wrong, but that's just me:)

  3. Nina and Brenna A.,
    Thanks for the comments and the guesses. I won't say which is correct until all comments are in. You'll have to wait.

  4. I'm going with four. I figure you probably toured Europe on the back of a motorcycle, but didn't pause for an entire summer with one family.

  5. Joyce, thanks for commenting. Good thinking but I'm keeping my secret until Friday. Check in again for the answer.

  6. Hi, Susan!
    Fun idea. You've done some cool stuff!
    I'm going to say that I think No. 3 is the fib. Rescue dogs, check. Three at once? That sounds like a lot. :)
    Going to work on my own fibs ... I mean, half-truths ... I mean, six truths and a lie.
    Cheers!

  7. I'll go with the touring Europe on the back of a motorcycle. However, that would be a good wayto travel where petro is so expensive and roads are narrow. I give up. If only one of those is a fib, you've led an interesting life.

  8. Sister Susan,

    I don't think you have 3 rescue dogs and a Maine Coon Cat at the same time.

    Big Brother keeps track of you - it is possible we will make it to Maine this summer. I'll call you if we do

  9. Bob,
    Very sneaky. I hope you make it here, so you can see all my babies.
