Oops, I guess I left you hanging there! I'm sure the suspense was killing you. So here it is: number one is the lie! But just barely! I really did break a bone just before the start of the fourth grade. But it was my arm, not my ankle! I really did sell jewelry for awhile, for a direct sales company called Lia Sophia. And I did appear in a commercial too, when they filmed one at the ice skating rink where I took lessons. I don't know of anyone could tell it was me, but I knew! That was fun, thanks for guessing ladies!

Two Truths and a Lie
Jenny at Dogs Aren't Kids posted this on her blog today, I thought it was fun and she tagged me (well, everyone) so I'm going to do it too!
If you are reading this, you have to do it. I tagged you. Those are the rules.
Tell us 3 things about you and make 1 of them a lie. Try to think about what other bloggers already know about you, what might shock them and what they don’t know and would simply not being able to guess which one is a lie.
Here are mine.
1. I broke my ankle when I was 9, just days before 4th grade started
2. I used to have a job selling jewelry.
3. I appeared in a local commercial when I was a teenager
THE RULES:
Comment below with which one you think is a lie.
Make a new post on your blog and do the same.
After you get a bunch of guesses (or whenever you feel like), make a new post with the right/wrong answers and explain them if you want.

An interview with...ME!
Lisa over at Amateur Nester has started a new blog series called "On the Journey with..." and she just published her interview with ME! I don't pretend to have had the most harrowing infertility journey, but I think every story can be related to, so I was flattered the Lisa was interested in sharing it. Go check it out HERE and follow her blog!

Tricky Treating
What I consider to be first of the triple-threat holiday season (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas) has come and gone! Halloween was somewhat eventful, as for the first time in my life (to my recollection, anyway) trick-or-treating was postponed here in Central Indiana.
All week, they had been discussing the possibility of strong storms on Thursday night with very high winds. I kept an eye on the forecast and came up with two "back up" plans. The first was to take the kids to trick or treat at the local mall. That would involve leaving work early, as the hours were from 4-6. We also would only attend that event if it was raining, but not REALLY storming (not dangerous to be out in the weather). The second was Halloween cookie baking and "mini trick or treating" to my mom and sister for Tyler.
After some initial hesitation, the city officials did postpone trick or treating to Friday and so we stayed home and did option 2 (good thing too, they postponed the mall trick or treat as well). Tyler didn't seem to phased by the whole thing and I was very glad we were able to stay in. The wind was CRAZY! My little guys would have blown away out there!
PICTURES!!
My mom snagged these awesome (and EASY) pumpkin decorations! No carving required!
And finally, my adorable little Treats!
Everyone loved Tyler as Spongebob and he was on cloud nine, losing his mind over getting Smarties and pointing out the costumes of all the other kids. "Mommy, there's a BANANA!" He didn't want to stop! Finally after about an hour and half he was tired and we'd just about hit every house with their lights on in the neighborhood, so we headed home to give out candy for a little while.
I have done a fairly decent job at resisting the Halloween candy, sticking to just a piece or so here and there. The last week or so I slacked a little bit on food choices and tracking, but I still hit my workouts pretty well. I am back on tracking now and stepped up my elliptical workouts to include hand weights, so that's been a new challenge. Although I didn't post a loss from last week, we did have first weight in for the weight loss challenge at work (not sure if I mentioned this or not) and I am in SECOND PLACE! I posted a 7% loss. The guy in first is at 9% and we are followed by a three way tie at 5%. I was really surprised and happy to see that result, maybe I do have a shot at a little monetary kickback! We'll see!
