My life in six words.
I wondered over to Odat’s site Monday morning and saw her six word memoir. This reminded me that the lovely Blue Ridge Mountain Colleen at Loose Leaf Notes tagged me for a six word memoir a while ago. *
Ok, I lied. I didn’t forget that Colleen tagged me. I wrote a bunch of delicious six word memoirs. When I shared them with my darling husband, biostatistician math geek, he said:
“One memoir, six words. Not twenty six-word segments. That’s a poem.”
Sigh.
He’s a brutal writing task master. I must tell you, though. My writing has improved because of his attention to detail. So, I’ll stop complaining… right… about… HERE.
My life in six words.
“Happy living just outside your normal.”
Yep. That sums it up.
I’m gonna tag a few: FuriousBall, HRH from June Cleavers Nirvana, Tommie at Tuesday’s Update, that other Claudia, oh and the other Claudia, and No Nonsense Girl, who’s name MIGHT be Claudia (you never know!), Liz at Los Angelista (her name is definitely not Claudia) and my darling Squirrelly at Lone Grey Squirrel. I’d ask Jameil but she’ll say ‘no’ so I’m not going to ask. (Love you J!)
If you want to do this - go for it. It’s fun!
Feel free to do as many as you want. Odat did about six and Colleen did a sixteen.

Colleen was tagged by Pearl and, in turn, tagged Deana, Bonnie, and Country Dew, June, and of course, me.
Filed under: About Claudia, Going out on a limb, The nerdiverse, Thoughts on being human....
I break I heal I move. That about sums it up for me.
Peace OG

I am man, I love woman

The Queen Bee is here, hooray!!!! <———–
That’s a beautiful 6 words.
smile is gone , but summer approaches
TWM - Hey, that’s a great memoir ! Nicely done.
CEO - Mmm I’d edit to say, “love woman” but that’s just me. Hurray for the new queen!
Pearl - Thanks for starting the chain!
FuriousBall - Very nice. I can hardly wait for summer!
Okay here goes:
1) This is the one I posted at http://burnettiquette.blogspot.com/
“I even scare myself sometimes.”
2) Not short and sweet
3) Men are afraid of me
4) I will post this next one on my blog http://c-writing.blogspot.com on Wednesday.
Oh this is one of my favorite memes. I loved yours. I did this awhile back and it turned out to be a fun post so if you don’t mind me pimping my blog, here it is:

I did a bunch, but ended with:
Waking daily to live my dream
Thanks for the tag.
you have done the tagging holy grail! you remembered me but absolved me from having to actually do it! this is my fave way to do it!! i love it!!
“determined to die happy one day.”
is that morbid to have death in mine? i’m just really aware that death is a part of life and okay with that as long as it’s far off and i’m happy when it comes.
Snow is gone,
tulips now grow.
I think therefore
I am alive.
my normal? whoa, that’s out there……
i love your bio.
my own……..maybe………
misfit making miraculous messes while learning.
Oooo I really like that one Claudia. Knowing you, that just came to you. I’d have to really work and think and study myself to come up with something that cool. I’m a dork. *sigh*
That’s excellent!!! and says a lot!!!! Good for you!
Peace
i answered, sort of, your question today on the 1st addition of ask she weds!!
That was beautiful…
Really,I mean it…
Truly Beautiful!
Miss Holly - We did stories here before, but not memoirs. Feel free to pimp away! I do like “waking daily to live my dream”.
Jameil - Oh gosh I hope so! What a great memoir!
Dr. John - I like both of those! Very nice!
Awareness - Very well done! I like it!
Jill - I’m a lot older than you - I think that’s more likely the reason!
Odat - It is a memoir after all!
She - I’ll be right over!
Pendullum - I love your 6 words - well done!
Well, I could use the one I did while back: Work in Progress, Moving Right Along, but I’ll do a new one..
Deep down, loving this rollercoaster ride.
That’s right, I cheated, had no one like your husband around to keep me in line. Mine was more of a poem, six word memoirs in sixteen parts.
Your’s is great. Now I’ll have to come back later and read the ones of the people you tagged.
Six words? If I include Depeche Mode I only have four left. But how can I possibly leave them out?
Wherever you go, there you are.
