So, I could give you an update on all the glorious (and not so glorious) happenings in the last few days. But that would be a) sort of dull and b) not nearly as fun. (And yes, I realize a AND b are pretty much the same thing but with different words, but it’s important that I have at least 2 items when listing something and I could only think of one. Why am I struggling to make words into sentences may be answered by the rest of this post.)

I have listed 5 sentences below. 4 of them are true, 1 is false. The first person to correctly identify which are true and which is false, will win a prize- my respect, admiration and possibly a haiku. Let the games begin!

1. I have 26 hand-made Christmas cards on my desk. I have 14 more to go. I smell like a glue stick and have a zillion papercuts.

2. On Wednesday, I subbed grade 5’s. During an assembly (in which 300 kids where present), the presenters called on me to answer a ’skill-testing question’ about electricity (because apparently hiding from the presenter and taking off your keys to make it look like you’re NOT a teacher will make them more likely to pick you for the question). I got it wrong. I was the only person to get a question wrong. And honestly, everyone I ask still doesn’t know the right answer (this does make me feel better).

3. I have re-discovered a love for yogurt.

4. I fell going down stairs and apparently have a concussion.

5. On Tuesday I lost a mitten in a store. I went to the till to see if someone had turned it in. I saw it. But couldn’t take it (even when showing it’s twin in my bag) because the cashier thought that I could have ‘just found the second mitten on the floor and picked it up and pretended it was mine’. So. I have to wait THIRTY days to see if anyone claims the freaking mitten before I can go and get it. Because the cashier thinks I’m part of some international mitten scheme. Because after spending $130 in the store- it makes sense that I would be trying to scam her out of a pair of $6 mittens.

Good luck. And NaBloPoMo’ers-congratulations on getting to the end. I have about 6 weeks worth of reading in my google reader to catch up on, but I will do it!
