Just because I feel like ... I wanna play a game!6 Truths and 1 LieRules -- I'm going to list 7 statements below ... 6 of them will be true, 1 is a lie and you get to guess which one is the lie.

1. I have tendinitis in my wrists from playing handbells
2. I broke my ankle as a child on Christmas Eve
3. I work in an immunology lab even though I failed immunology in college
4. I'm one of the few Southerners who don't like Sweet Tea or Coke
5. We moved to Nashville because I got a job at Vanderbilt
6. The diamond in my ring is my Mother-in-law's diamond from the ring my Father-in-law proposed with
7. The year after I graduated, they removed my degree from Auburn

#1 is TRUE!!!!!  I know ... I just killed most of y'alls guesses, huh?  hehe.  I was (and still would be if I had time) an avid handbell player.  I was with a very advanced group in high school, so when I went to college I didn't want to give it up.  Well, the group at the local church there was just a bit less advanced ... and since I was good at reading music, I was given 7 low bells.  low bells = big bells = really heavy.  We went to a weekend conference where I played a lot and hurt my wrists.  6 months later ... I went to a doctor who told me I have a form of tendinitis called painters wrist.  Its from doing the same motion a painter would over and over again.  

Which one is true?  #3 or #5?

I'm not lying!  Here's an entry from my LJ (live journal) after that weekend ...

03/04/2005 -- 

i had a good weekend. the bell festival went well. i stressed my wrist though, yeah that kinda sux. i have to take advil to keep the swelling down, even though you can't really see that much swelling, mom says i still need to take it. and i have to ice it twice for 30 minutes like all week. fun. i have this nifty sleeve thing if i need it though. oh, why i strained it, well i play the bass bells in the choir which are seriously bigger than my head. for anyone who knows, i play C3-A3. yeah, big bass bells. but i came away from the concert with an increased love for handbell music and the want to get back into soloing.
