Ali is my go to girl for all things food related. If you haven’t been reading her blog, then you are missing a true treasure trove, my friends.

Very rare does she go off her food topic, but for this meme she did and I couldn’t be more thankful. Today is turning out to be a specially difficult day and a fun exercise like this is just what I need.

“The challenge: write your memoir in six words or less. It’s based on a bet that Hemingway once made — that he couldn’t write a story in six words. He could, and he did:For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.

(for the record, he apparently considered it his finest piece of writing).

Smith magazine, not the College’s publication, but the writing ‘zine, offered a similar challenge, by the way. They published the results in a book, and you can read the entries here.”

Here are a few that I came up with:

busy, wouldn’t want it another way

sarcastic, lyrical lashings dispersed here freely

living my dream, very lucky girl

the one that I think sums me up the most is:

lost in thought, thinker, dreamer, planner

Your turn! Who wants to play? It’s guaranteed to get your mind off other issues that you would like to run away from. At least it did for me. If you decide to participate, leave me a link so I can check it out…
