Loves to hear music - can't sing.
Tonight, my middle school kids had an awards ceremony. It was for technology.
I loves me some technology.
Would read all day if allowed.
My son received an Honorable mention type of award, and my daughter received two trophies. One for a group project, and one for best all around in technology.
I will survive. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully.
I was proud of both of my kids.
She has the best friends ever.
When one of the teachers was presenting an award for the "Six Words" project, she took some time to explain it. (I've been at this school - with my kids, duh - for 15 years. My 4th kid is in middle school. I have a couple of teachers that I really like, and a number less than that who I admire - but this one teacher is my particular favorite for this middle school child - and ties with another in a different grade for my favorite ever. The instruction is top notch and the teacher really goes out of her way to be a tough, yet fair and firm, teacher who makes learning exceptional.)
Tries to avoid ending in prepositions
The "Six Words Project" is based on a work by Ernest Hemingway. In the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway’s colleagues bet him that he couldn’t write a complete story in just six words. They paid up. Hemingway is said to have considered it his best work. His story? " For sale: baby shoes, never used."
Loves to eat, hates to clean.
Which immediately, you know, got me to thinking. What would my six word story be?
Sings very loudly, sings very badly.
Lives to eat, exercises to live.
Watch what you do. They do.
Dances like a fool, dances often.
She drinks coffee. Way too often.
Seeking serenity, she instead finds laundry.
This is fun. I could do it forever - but I wonder - what would your six word story be?
Brown by birth, red by bottle.

I've heard of this challenge as the six-word autobiography. I actually use mine quite often as my bio (works great for Twitter!):
Writes often, loves fiercely, drinks coffee.

Loves to laugh, lives for others.
I thought up even more. It's kind of addictive!

Love that idea. Will ponder on it.

Watching my children grow. Sadly joyful.

This reminds me of my sons AP English teacher who asked her students to sum up their personality in six words......it took kellan less then a second to come back with "I love sarcasm, English is great" luckily she loved it and tells me she shares it every year with her students.

My brain does not think like this. But, this is what I came up with:
Lots to many. Everything to few.

Dreamed bold dreams. Loves her reality.

I sent this one in to AARP magazine last year when they asked for six words on the relationship with one's siblings: "The youngest isn't always the baby"!

Wishes she knew how it ends
or alternately
Hopes to achieve a happy ending

Not morbid, just where I am now...

This unrealistic approach will sap your energy and draw your focus from more important things. Remember that the goal of organizing is to live your life the way you choose, while setting up your home and schedule to support you.
