Fun and a bit of mystery..

Last night, Matt took me to Dallas for a surprise birthday event. It turned out to be a murder mystery dinner party at Fair Park's Old Mill Inn! At first it was a bit daunting to walk in and be asked to mingle with other guests while asking questions such as "Have you ever killed anyone?", "Do you have a lot of money?" or "what kind of underwear are you wearing?". Some of it was awkward.... but then we went upstairs where the real who-done-it got started.

While upstairs, we hunted for clues (I found one!), interrogated suspects (amongst who was yours truly), ate dinner, and suspected all. By the way, I was a suspect because I owed a loan shark for the Jonas Brothers: How Not to Party book ($24 dollars). I felt I was a little in my element because of the many reruns of CSI and Law and Order that I have watched and the many, many books of Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew (not together!) that I have read. I felt confident that I might be able to solve this puzzle. At the end of the evening, we were given a sheet to guess who did it any why. I got two of the murderers and one motive correct, but missed one murderer and two motives (though mine were closely related). Back to the books/tv for better crime solving skills.

I was very proud of what I got right. They also gave us a number code which I got 2 out of 3 of the parts right. So maybe I'll have to consider a new career- Ashleigh Gaston, Private Investigator. Now if only I could figure out who took my voice and why.....
