We’ve been out of town for the past few days, and I won’t lie, I’m exhausted. I thought I’d have all of this awesome energy when we got back, but I always, always forget how much traveling tires me out.
What I’m getting at here is that I don’t have it in me to write a huge post, so instead I’m going to share with you 10 truths and a lie. Are you game to figure out the lie?
An obligatory Instagram shot because, hello, I’m sure you want to see us vacationing! Real reason? I don’t have a good photo for this post. #truth
10 Truths and a Lie
1. I’m an incredibly adventurous eater. I will try (almost) anything once. If you had asked me about that like, 5 years ago, this would have been so not true.
2. Rigby is my 6th pet. I’ve had 3 cats, a hamster, and a guinea pig. Oh, and many goldfishes that barely lasted a night.
3. I’m not religious. I grew up going to a Presbyterian church with my mom, but I never really connected with it. Religions are super interesting to me, however I find myself more of an atheist. Just like I respect your religion, I hope you can respect my lack of one. :)
4. When I was little, I fell off of a house and broke my arm. My poor parents, it was just a playhouse in our basement, but I went around telling everyone about it, and strangers were horrified.
5. I’ve never had any sort of legal trouble. I’ve never even gotten a speeding ticket. I still have no idea how I’ve managed that one.
6. I don’t think I could live without cheese. But if I had to, I would probably be so much thinner. That and chocolate. Another weakness.
7. My first kiss happened at age 15. I was a late bloomer. Actually, that’s not really true… I just never had any mutual crushes.
8. I’m kind of afraid of the dark. I blame watching too much Law and Order and CSI growing up, but I’m always afraid someone is lurking outside our doors and windows.
9. I’m a certified bra fitter. I worked at JCPenney in the lingerie department before I went to college. That was interesting.
10. I’m an only child. No, I don’t think that makes me weird and awkward. Or maybe it does, I’m not sure.
11. I had my nose pierced for a few years during college. One of my biggest regrets is taking it out post-college. I still miss it.
…so which one is a lie? And if you can’t figure it out, share an interesting truth with me in the comments! :)
heyy fellow atheist unless that is your lie. haha. if it is, awkward. thats my interesting truth, not religious here either. never have been. australia is different than america, so if that is your lie well dont judge me too hard haha.
Nope, it was not a lie so not awkward. :) #5 was the lie!
Amen to the fellow Atheist, haha!
I’m going to say it was being a bra fitter at JC Penny…..
Ha! I see what you did there. Nope, I definitely was a bra fitter at JCP, #5 was the lie! :)
I think that Number 5 is the lie. Probably because I’ve had TOO many tickets and just don’t want to believe that a clean record is possible.

Yep, you got it! I’ve had 2, though luckily not for a longgg time. :)
Hmm I’m going to guess #5 or #11! Though I’m leaning towards #11 because I managed to never get any tickets either when I drove, despite being terrible at it!
Haha, good guess and reasoning… your first guess was right though, I’ve had two speeding tickets!
What a fun post!! I love learning all these things about you… gosh, this is tough. I’m going to guess #4? I don’t know about falling off a house, but that sounds TERRIFYING, if it’s true!
xo,

It’s definitely true! It was one of those little Fisher outdoor playhouses, and I was climbing on the roof with my older cousins. #5 was the lie – I’ve had two speeding tickets! :)
I think 10! And totally stealing this post idea sometime, hope you don’t mind! That was fun to read!
Of course not, I totally borrowed the idea from someone who had posted 10 lies! #5 was actually the lie, I’m definitely an only child. :)
I’m not sure if 2 is written that way on purpose or not, but if you’ve had 3 cats, a hamster, and a guinea pig before Rigby then he can’t be your 5th. For that reason I’m going with 2 (although I suppose you could have gotten Rigby before some of the others…). Otherwise it is 9…?
HA, you totally caught a terrible typo. That’s what I get for writing while exhausted. I fixed it, it was supposed to be 6th. The lie was actually #5, I’ve had two speeding tickets, and I worked at JCP when I was in high school and totally was a bra fitter. :P
My guess is number 11–I have too many speeding tickets on my record, I hate to admit. UGH!
Ha, I have two! #5 was the lie, I had my nose pierced up until I started my first job post-college.
My guess is 2! This was fun to read nonetheless.
#5 was the lie! Good guess though :)
I hope it’s number 5 for my sake, I mean shiiiiiit
Yep, you’re correct Jordan! I’ve had two. :P
Im going with number 5 being a lie
You’re correct, Neely! I’ve had two speeding tickets. Oops!
I’m say #11 but only because it’s my fave number – lol
Haha, good guess but it was #5! :)
Cute game! I think you have gotten a speeding ticket:)
You’re correct, Lauren! I’ve had two. Oops. :)
#5??
you would be correct! i’ve had two speeding tickets. :P
I have no idea which one is a lie! My truth? I am usually nude in my apartment and I don’t really bother to put clothes on if I need to grab something in a room where the blinds are open. No complaints yet so either I no one has seen or I live in a community of pervs ;)
ha! that’s a good one, and i won’t lie, i do that sometimes too. :)
I vote either #5 or #11! Love this idea – hope you don’t mind if I borrow it :)

Of course not, I was inspired by someone who posted 10 lies, so I think it’s more than fair game! #5 was definitely the lie – good guess! :)
I h ave no clue! I’m going to guess #2 only because it seems kinda uncommon… but if #2 is the truth then I’m super so so sorry!!!!!! lol I have no idea!!
Haha, good guess, but #5 was the lie. No need to be sorry, it’s all just for fun :)
My guess is the nose piercing one…but I just don’t know! I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket either, though, so I’m hoping we can bond over our awesome speeding ticket avoiding abilities, lol.
Ugh I wish I hadn’t gotten a speeding ticket, but I actually got 2. Though I will say, both happened at 18 so it’s been 7 years! :)
I’m gonna say you don’t like cheese. I just picked a random one hahaha.
Haha, I LOVE cheese, probably a little too much. #5 was the lie!
The speeding ticket!! Everyone’s had one… right? Thanks for stopping by Bella & Bear. I love this post, I think I may have to adapt it as a game for a dinner party I’m throwing this weekend x
Yep, you’re totally right Emma! In fact, I had two. That sounds like a great dinner party game, you’ll have to let me know how it goes!
I say that you weren’t actually a bra fitter. ;) I’m kind of afraid of the dark, too.. for the same reasons.
Nope, I totally was! #5 was the lie. :)
I say 5! I don’t know anyone who hasn’t at least gotten a speeding ticket. :p if it’s true, you’d be the first! :D
You’re correct. I had two during college. Oops!
Going with #5 too – everyone has at least one speeding ticket!
You would be correct. I had two. Oops ;)
cool post, I think 3 is a lie
Nope, it was #5. :)
Cute post! Not even a speeding ticket? I call false! :)
You would be correct! Thanks, Kristine!
Hmm, I’m not really sure, but I’ll guess #7 maybe? Or maybe #5…even though I’d say that my truth is that I’ve never gotten a speeding ticket either! I’ve only been pulled over once in my whole life! I guess I have many years for that to change though, haha!
Jealous! My first car was a red mustang, so I got pulled over twice (and was ticketed both times…oops). So #5 was the lie ;)
Alright I’m putting in my guess as either #4 or #11 I really have no idea though, and am super curious to find out!!
Nope! I had my nose pierced up until I started my post-grad job (for some reason I thought it would be hard to get a job with it?) and I definitely fell off a playhouse and broke my arm. #5 was the lie! :)
This is an awesome post! Love the idea :) maybe the bra fitting is a lie…? And really enjoy what you wrote about being an atheist :)
Nope, I definitely was a bra fitter back in the day at JCPenney. #5 was the lie! :)
Trick post! all of them are true! hahahah I don’t know!
Haha, nope #5 was the lie! :)
what a fun post I’m going to go with #5.
You would be correct, I’ve had two speeding tickets :)
oooh….maybe you’ve gotten a speeding ticket? i don’t know!! haha….fun idea for a post!
Yep! You are correct, I’ve had two actually :)
Great post. Love your truths.
Thanks, Christen!
Great post! Love it!
Thanks, Lisa!
Ohh, I have no clue. One of my truths would be that I regularly purge our house and can’t stand clutter anywhere. My idea of clutter is wayyyy different than anyone elses.
I wish I could say the same, but I get so burnt out from cleaning! I do try to purge at the end of every season though!
I still miss my nose piercing and I can so relate to you on religion!
glad to hear you could relate, Ashley! :)
I cheated and read that #5 is a lie haha oops!! I need to do one of these posts!
haha, it was tons of fun to see what people guess, definitely should do it! :)
I can’t figure it out, so I’ll share a truth. I had a cosmetic surgery that most of my close family don’t even know about. ;) Now you know my deep dark secret!
Katreena
ooh, scandalous! thanks for sharing, Katreena! :)
I kept thinking the last one was a lie but then I read the comments haha. I’ve actually REALLY never been in legal trouble or gotten a ticket so I was stoked thinking you hadn’t either hahahahaha not like it makes a difference but stillllll. Also, bra fitting…people hold odd jobs when you take the time to listen to what they actually do or did!
Haha, sorry to disappoint! I wish I hadn’t, but I was young and dumb and liked to drive fast! Definitely true about the odd jobs – that was probably the weirdest job I’ve had!
This is such an interesting idea for a post, before I saw the comments I would have guess 11 not 5 :-)
Thanks, Sarah! Good guess though! :)
