Jill at The Magic Lasso tagged me for this meme,which originated here .
“As I read yet another book review of a memoir this weekend, my husband told me that I should write one. I said that my story would be much too short and rather boring so when I ran across the following book I decided it was just my speed. A six word memoir! Written by Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser, Not Quite What I was Expecting: Six Word Memoirs by Famous and Obscure is a compilation based on the story that Hemingway once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his life in six words. His words were- For Sale: baby shoes, never worn. There’s a video on Amazon with examples from the book, it sounds like a fun read! I’d like to start a six word memoir meme and here are the rules:
1. Write your own six word memoir
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you’d like
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to this original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere
4 .Tag five more blogs with links
5. And don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play!”

I Hope you all have fun with this one.
Great memoir, we all feel that way sometimes. Always happy to “meet” another bookie, thanks for playing:)
Thanks for the opportunity.
I like. This is such a fun meme. I’ve been tagged twice and haven’t gotten to it, yet. BTW, I don’t know why I haven’t added you to my sidebar but the layout feature on my page is not working. I’ll send myself a reminder to add you. Sorry!
Thanks in advance to adding me to your side bar. I just tried to add yours to mine and it didn’t work. I wonder if Blogger is having problems today. Anyway, I also sent a note to myself to add yoiu. I also added you to Google Reader.
I like the 5-word memoir! And thanks for the reminder that someone tagged me for this and I haven’t done it yet.
