Two Truths and a Lie.

Susan here, clocking in for the third hour of this seven-ish hour road trip to Charleston. In case you missed the news, I am heading to South Carolina for a spontaneous glamping trip! I’m currently fighting car-sickness in the back seat of my mom’s SUV, feet on the hump. Chloe has her dog bed taking up 2/3 of the seat while I’m squished against half of our bags and gear, with my laptop, paperwork and blanket piled on top of me.

Since nothing screams road trip like car games… Let’s play Two Truths and a Lie. Not familiar with this game? Basically I will share three things with you about myself - two of them will be honest to god truths. The third will be a bunch of bologna. {In the comment section below, you tell me which one you think is the lie. I will have the answer in tomorrow’s blog post!}
// Number One // I bought my first piece of kid equipment yesterday. {there was actually a hint about this in yesterday’s post. I wanted to see if anyone actually read to the bottom of that post…!} No, I’m not pregnant. I’m just an insane dog-mom. Actually my mom has gone insane over her grandpuppy. She found a bike buggie for $35 on craigslist! Now, for our glamping trip, Chloe can bike along with us!

// Number Two // I finally caved and got my wrist tattoo! I’ve seriously been coveting so many tiny, but pretty tattoos on pinterest for quite some time. I figured, I’m 30. Who really cares what my folks think?! I’ve made it this far in my life, following all of their rules. It’s time to live it up! Surprisingly it didn’t hurt quite as badly as I thought it would… and my dad hasn’t even noticed it yet!
I have spent the last couple years trying to find just the right word for my wrist. I decided to go with “breathe.” It’s a calming word when things get crazy, but it’s also a reminder to breathe in the great moments and the gusts of adventure that are constantly breezing past me. And I absolutely love the watercolor touch! I just hope the color doesn’t fade too much. // Number Three // Guys! This was a first for me! I hired a cleaning lady! Well - I didn’t actually hire her… it was a LivingSocial deal. I thought the house could really use a good clean up, ya know? Between my full head of wild crazy hair, and Rockie and Chloe Fur, there’s a constant flock of tumble weeds bustling through the downstairs of our house. When I saw the LivingSocial deal {two cleanings for $80} I timidly purchased it. I feel like this is such an adult thing to do! But I can’t seem to keep up with my husband wearing his shoes through the house, the drips and drops in the microwave, and again, the fur. So the lady came this morning before we left. It was weird. I felt like Sheldon Cooper as I awkwardly greeted her and offered her a cup of hot tea. Which she quickly denied before she got right to work, while I stood there semi-befuddled. Do I watch her? Do I help her? Do I give her a tour of the house? Do I hide my purse? Seriously - someone please tell me what I was supposed to do! In the end, she didn’t do a very good job. Maybe because it was a LivingSocial deal? Or maybe because our house was too dirty? I wasn’t very impressed. And I probably will never hire a cleaner again. I mean, I thought she would’ve at least taken the rugs out and shaken them…. // // Don’t I sound like such an adult? Buying kid gear, getting a tattoo, and hiring a cleaning lady? I can barely recognize myself! Here’s to being 30 I suppose! Now it’s your turn - tell me, of my three “stories” above, which one is the lie? Leave your answer in the comment section. Come back tomorrow for the answer {and to make sure I survive this long as heck car ride with the ladies of my family.}

  Girl - I WISH the tattoo was real!! A local artist had this in her shop. I LOVED it. {I seriously have always wanted a fun wrist tattoo - with the word breathe on it - so it wasn’t a stretch!} What is your tattoo of? And what would you want as your next one? Thanks for stopping by the blog!

I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that tattoo one is a lie! That’s at least what I’m hoping, since I know #1 is true and #3 is all I think about on a daily basis……

  So I’m stuck in this stinkin camper and the internet service is whack. {I sound like such a diva don’t I?! Look out Real Housewives…} but I can’t get a post up to answer this post because the internet is weird. You’re right - the tattoo is a fake. An artist in RVA had this in her shop. I thought it was stunning. I really have always wanted a wrist tattoo though! And you think about #3 on a daily basis!? I need to learn the house cleaner etiquette!
