I was looking through my monthly Quality Paperback Book Club flyer yesterday and saw a book titled Six Word Memoirs by Larry Smith and Rachel Ferschleiser. It must have piqued my imagination, because I was still thinking about it last night as I was trying to go to sleep. Here are some examples by people you may or may not know:
"Liars! Hysterectomy didn't improve sex life!" --Joan Rivers
"Well, I thought it was funny." --Stephen Colbert
"Revenge is living well, without you." --Joyce Carol Oates
"I still make coffee for two." --Zak Nelson
"Wasn't born a redhead; fixed that." --Andie Grace
"Giraffe born to a farm family." --Grant Langston
So here is what I'd like to know, dear Readers and Friends, how would you sum up your life thus far in 6 words, no more, no less? Please send me your ideas, and just to make it interesting, I'll put all the names in a hat and choose one, to whom I'll offer either a squishy of CQ goodies, OR a finished CQ item (my choice of finished item). You can email me or simply comment to this post with your 6 word memoir (be sure to leave your name or contact info if you comment). Shall I go first?
"Just one crazy thing after another." --Janet Popish

Gotta add my 13 year old daughter Michaela's memoir:
The crazier your friends, the better.
Can't disagree with that!

It's been good...only gettin' better.
Living, one stitch at a time.
Life's the journey, not the destination.
What-a-size it, then enjoy.
Life makes you wanna say, Huh?

I did not want to be anonymous but somehow I was.....What a terrific idea, Janet.
My life in 6 words was "Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.

Hey QQ
I'd leave a comment but I can't think of anything clever to say, or even not clever at all. I think my brain is asleep. Hey!!!!! That's 6 words

Lauruuu
Great idea!!! Hmmmm,
"I live the life I love!"
That is the truth of it too. I used to try to make everyone happy and keep the peace. Now I live by giving to those who deserve my sacrifice. God first, my Hubby and kids, and those who join me in living joyous lives. So:
"You bring me down... seeee yaaaaa!"
LOL
Big Hugs,
Wendy
