There's a meme I've seen going around a few times now where you have to sum up your life in 6 words. A six word memoir. I never posted one but may have commented with an idea or two in some older posts.
Here's the first one that came to mind:
Striving for order while creating chaos
Second place finisher:
Conflicted rules-player, never reached her potential
Wow. Those don't sound very positive, do they? Well, you try it then. I'd like to see what you come up with.
*** A bit of bloggy housekeeping. I love, love, love comments (as all bloggers do) but do not always respond with an e-mail or comment back. This NaBloPoMo thing is killing me, because I'd like to continue each post and discussion, but must move on. I will be answering or responding to some things in separate posts, but as a rule, I will attempt to update my last post with any further thoughts (in the comment section) before I publish my next one. This way, if you read a new post you can check the last one or two to see if there's anything you missed. Anyway, it is day 10 of NaBloPoMo, which means I am one third of the way there. I keep thinking I will have time to read and comment on blogs and follow twitter discussions and I just don't. Sigh. No. Double sigh.
*** Oh, wait, I am not done. The annual BlogHer conference that was possibly going to be in Philadelphia this year is actually going to be in Chicago, July 2009. I told my husband and he immediately said, "well, you better get your flight soon so you can get a good rate, you don't want to wait until the last minute, again." So, I think I'll be there. Hope you will be, too!
Niksmom- Hells yes, you rawk above Susan, as I'm totally not in *her* brlolgol... LOL.Now let's go get some beer and get vajazzled. You first though.

I'm going to BlogHer if it kills me.
And I loved your memoirs, both of them.

Wow. Do you really respond regularly by e-mail or comment to everyone who comments on your blog? I think that makes my six word summary:
"Few replies. I'm such an oaf."

I have one:
Excited for Blogher; will miss Niksmom.
I'm thrilled it's at least slightly easterly this year.

Here's another one for me:
Everyone going to BlogHer except me.
(Ok, I'll stop the pity party now.)

BlogHer...ENVIOUS. *sigh*
Left mine on Stimey's blog yesterday:
Riding the roller coaster with Nik
There are many more, I'm sure.

BlogHer! Looking forward to seeing you again.
Posted by: Kyla | November 11, 2008 at 09:53 AM
I have never been to BlogHer. And now it is going to be driving distance from my home (under an hour, on a good day). I may have to show up...but I don't know.

Your 1st one applies to me as well. Such an uphill battle, isn't it? Your 2nd one made me a little sad!
