Fluid Pudding wrote an entry here and here about the challenge of putting your life into six words. I read the entries this morning and haven’t stopped thinking about this all day. I can not come up with one set of six words. Not that this should surprise anyone, this is my fourth blog entry of the day. So – here are a few I’ve come up with. I would love, love, LOVE to hear yours. It’s a tough challenge that I obviously failed since I did it several times instead of the required once. But still! FUN!
Wears Granny Panties and Trips Often.
Mother Who Can’t Cook or Sew.
Severe Guilt Complex and Pen Addiction.
Hates to Shower, Loves to Laugh.
Liberal Southerner With Really Curly Hair.
Wife, Mom, Book Reader, Donut Whore
Afraid she’ll never marry or procreate
Dark and twisty with some snarkiness
Crazy Midwesterner with lots of laughs
Striving for health and some adventures
I wrote a blog about this same thing (along with the challenge to write your SEX memoir in six words) last night!
I wrote my here a couple days ago:

We did this in my writing class yesterday! Mine is “Dreadfully slow decision maker, VERY ambiguous.”

I love your second one! Brilliant.
I used one of yours as a starter:

41, struggling in high tech world
I’ll be obsessing over this for days…

Oh, this should be fun. My butt is dragging today, so I will think on it and get back to you.
I came up with two (and also did a post about it over on my blog! Thanks for the great idea!)
never enough money, surrounded by love
amazing husband, perfect dog, baby wanted
Plus-size girl with big hair (if plus-size is considered one word as it is by Microsoft Word, then insert “really” before big
)
Works for dad, might be crazy
Professional napper, Diet Coke drinker, sarcastic
Published lesbian writer, loves to paint
Myopic Scorpio, hates worms and snakes
Hee! That’s fun.
Yesterday I wrote this:
“angry bitch with a shiba inu”
Today, I wrote this:
“chick with eclectic tastes and dogs”
and
“fond of Depp, Snape, Plant, Wolf”
Hi, I’m like a month late to the party, but since comments aren’t closed… here are my attempts:
Drifted along, looking for life’s work.
Organizing useless things is incredibly calming.
Wished writing TV commentary was lucrative.
Found peace with hair color, finally.
