It's now JackO'Clock, and all's well!

Holly the hipster over at June Cleaver Nirvana has tagged me with the 6 word memoir meme. Holly has a very twisted sense of humor, because she thinks I can actually be brief... which is like her, insanely funny. But, we can all use friends who cut us off ...at the mouth.

6 word memoir meme...of sorts.

When at a loss, buy lipstick.

Tired of dabbling, want to write.

Caffeine, chocolate, whiskey; sometimes it helps.

Becoming a mother, most monumental event.

Still exploring myself, within and without.

It's now JackO'Clock, and all's well!

Marriage still passionate, despite 2 additions.

Parenting a challenge, reward and mystery.

Eager to see, where life leads.

Once an actress, now a blogger.

Writing daily, helps keep me sane.

Blessings of children; delightful, precious, indescribable.

Thirteen years of marriage, still growing.

Learning balance, every hour, every day.

Family support, of that I'm blessed.

Snuggling on children, never get enough.

Husband kind heart, and scrumptious ass.

Children teach us, moment to moment.

Those fishnet days, not many regrets.


I'd like to pass this 6 word memoir meme on to the following linguistic lovelies:

MamaGeek
Katydidnot
Minnesota Matron
Slouching Mom
She's just another manic mommy
Don Mills Diva

And also to these women, who are new to me, wielding words upon the page:
A Golden Journal
coffeeyogurt
The Philosopher Mom

  9. A mutual admiration society we have.

    Okay, enough with the six words. (LOL - that's six words!) I'm so flattered you liked the first installment of PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL. Buy it? Four months of query-partial-rejection cycles on LOADING...PLEASE WAIT (Fiction Experiment Number One) have stripped me of my B&N illusions. Not that I won't give it a shot. But if you likee, I will sendee, via email as I finish drafting the chapters.

  13. Oh Holy Nightmare!

    1) I've always wanted to be tagged by one of these memes...and this is my FIRST time! wooweee!

    2) The OHN! is that my brain has just frozen shut and I have no idea of six words to string together, couldn't I have that meme with the "turn to page 123, paragraph 4, copy the first five words"???????? Then my OCD would only compell me to spend the next four hours looking through a dozen books, or maybe make a trip to the library, in search of something presentable to claim....something that would actually make me look like I read important, thoughtful works of literature, art, or, wait for it.....non-fiction!

    3) ok, ok, ok.....but you'll just have to head over to my blog later tonight to see what freak of nature I've come up with.

    In the meantime....your new blog design absolutely rocks this world, it's AWESOME, fabulous, and supercool!
