Kryptonite.
I was tagged for a meme by Justine!
Legend has it that Hemingway was once challenged to write a story in only six words. His response? “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” Last year, SMITH Magazine re-ignited the challenge by asking readers for their own six-word memoirs. They sent in short life stories in droves, from the bittersweet (“Cursed with cancer, blessed with friends”) and poignant (“I still make coffee for two”) to the inspirational (“Business school? Bah! Pop music? Hurrah”) and hilarious (“I like big butts, can’t lie”).
This is my Six Word Story:
I had you.
Here are the rules:
1) Write your own six word story.
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 [me!], and to the original post if possible [so we can track it as it travels].
4) Tag at least five others with links.
5) Don’t forget to leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
6) Have fun!
Now, the fun part… I tag: Eric, Lorefel, PDX Fashionista, Iris, Holden, and Marjie

Yes, yes, I saw your tag LOL I’ve been sitting here for the past 26 minutes trying to come up with something…………………..
Oooohhh…what an interesting meme. Thanks for the tag dear, I shall get to it as soon as I get a chance. I still need me to dig some cute shots like yours ;)
cheers always,

That’s the best six word story ever. I loved it. And the photo was awesome, too.
Hmm…It’s either:
“A life lived without what if’s”
or
“She saw and did it all”
DONE! I hope I made you proud. Thanks again :)

I can definitely relate to your meme. It’s precisely how I feel about a certain ex of mine that is probably off destroying someone else’s life right about now. I wrote my own meme a few weeks ago, now that I think about it. It’s odd how only six words can say so much.
I love your six word memoir !! And the follow up story about that guy, priceless. Men think so highly of themselves, don’t they?
