Tuesday, August 7, 2012 ~ Day 7 of the 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is Tell us your deepest darkest secret. Mix in 3 or so LIES. Ask your readers to pick "true or false" in comments. It's up to you to tell them if they pick right! Before I can tell my darkest secret, I need to turn on the light. A person can’t see anything in the dark unless she has good night vision or is wearing night vision goggles. Since I have neither I’m going to have to turn on the light. Light comes on followed by a blood curdling scream. Now I know why I keep my darkest secret in the dark; it’s so that no one can see the mess it makes. First, let me state that housekeeping is not on my A priority list. I’m not even sure it is on my B or C priority lists; true when I do housework I prefer to do it in daylight with all the curtains open, but I suspect that’s so the neighbors can see me doing it and realize that I do clean house occasionally. The advantage I see in living in a three-bedroom house and only using two bedrooms is that the third bedroom becomes a junk room. In a junk room, I can hide all my dark secrets close the curtains and turn out the light so that no one can see my darkest secrets. Now that I’ve gotten past the palimonies and can think straight let me get to my darkest secret, which may or may not be that I’m a lousy housekeeper. No that can’t be it because everybody knows I’m a lousy housekeeper. Remember, that at least three of the following items are lies: Somewhere in my house are the ashes of the dead and it is your job to figure out whether the ashes I’m talking about belong to humans or animals. I sleep in the nude. I used to be a long hall truck driver in Alaska. I’m a gourmet cook.
