LIFE IN SIX WORDS
by vig
Tuesday, February 12...I have been driving for days now. Driving to see family. Driving to see amazing students. When I travel I usually prefer to listen to talk radio rather than music. The miles go by quickly when listening to stories, discussions, interviews. In Canada we have something called the CBC, public radio whose US equivalent would be NPR. It is generally thought provoking, somewhat middle of the road politically and whose topics range from the ridiculous to the sublime. This afternoon while driving “down island”, I listened to Valentine’s love poems being created from six words. They were funny. Now that I am home, my over forty year old brain can’t remember what they were. So I head online to see if they can be found there. I can’t find love poems in six words but I do find lives in six words. An article from a UK newspaper encourages interviewees and commenters to “describe your life in six words”.
Some of the responses were:
-Live forever. So far so good
-Kissed the boys, made them cry
-Big family, endless demands, eternal joy
-Could have. Should have. Still might.
And when I though about it for myself today in this moment, I came up with four:
-Bags are packed, ready to go!!!
-Laugh, laughing, laughed, laugh, laughing, laughed
-Loved hard, lost much, no regrets
-Waiting for ships to come in
And now my Night Owl friends, I pass the torch to you and humbly ask you to write your life in six words! I look forward to reading what the open, honest and creative Owls will come up with!

G'night, Joey. Hope you ordered those pans today from QF.....I mean QVC. I expect brownies and lasagne by next weekend!
MEK...you are amazing! And I hope you have an amazing week! Looking forward to your pictures with your new camera of Tiger and Ernie!
Joey...Good night and I agree with you, Juno was very excellent. And as a Canadian,it is my duty to point out that the two lead actors are Canadian as is the director! Yay, great white north (and rainy westcoast!)

I hate to leave when someone asks me a question LOL!!
Hey there, VIG.....and I liked yours in return :o)
Also loved today's TOTD. AND, (I'm slowly catching up with weekends' topics), I'm in for the book club!!! You probably knew that, though, from one of my Six Words. Just say when!
Glynis-----HELLO, HELLO X3!!!!
Good Evening Night Owls - It's been a lovely day in the forest today especially with VIG's TOTD. What fun that has been.
Ronniegirl - I loved your 6 word statements about life. Very creative.
Iteach - I loved the one you wrote with your hubby - very sexy.
EBJ - I will look at your new picture of Paula. I am so happy things are going well.
Zona - I watched "Hairspray" tonight and found it very cute. Tomorrow night I will watch "Dreamgirls."
Joey - I loved "Juno" too. I can't wait until the DVD comes out because I think I missed some of the funny lines due to the laughter in the audience.
Bon'Oregon - Thank you for commenting on my yesterday's blog. Parenting is such a complicated process.
For those who are taking the word of the day seriously---
take your pick--
Plummet - decrease rapidly in value or amount.
or
Plummet -fall or drop straight down at high speed.
Just couldn't resist taking advantage of a teachable moment.
Time for the early shift of Owls to snuggle in their nests. Is the second shift ready to take over the night?
Be good to each other.
Stay safe. God Bless.
Love, Tinka
six words:
Tonight I say hello to Glynis!
Hi Glynis, hope today was great!
VIG - I just saw your comment. It was great talking to you on the phone too.
My son-in-law is an excellent chef. That is his profession. The dinner was wonderful.
Have fun in Ontario. Stay warm. Love, Tinka
Thanks Tinka...I have my woolies and toque ready for Ontario! Lovey tells me I will need them. Glad your family is safely back from Hawaii and that you had a nice dinner! Sweet dreams!
Hello and good night to Glynis and Tinka. Sweet Dreams to you both.
Good Night SacBarb - I am serious about shutting down this time. Good Night John Boy.
TNVIG: Thanks for the great blog. We are learning so much about each other from all the blogs.
I nearly freaked out. Tinkatia I can't beleive you're still up. I am on my way to bed. I saw Hairspray. I love John Travolta even as a woman:p
Tina~~Finally made it back to reread YOUR blog at last. I can better appreciate your love of NASCAR, knowing the history behind your interest.
I've never been a fan but can sure see how easy it would be to get caught up in and enjoy. Used to spend a lot of weekends in the pits at Seattle International Raceway back in the day for stock, funny car and drag races. Loved the thunder and the smell of bleach as the tires scream away, the 'Christmas tree' countdown lights, the parachutes flying open at the finish line.
NASCAR to me just seems all about corporate sponsorship, advertising, fuel consumption and the occasional death wish. But that's just my thinking TOO green bias. No denying it's the #1 sport in the country and keeps the economy humming.
NOTE TO SELF: Sangria is not the wine for me...anyone have any 'sparkling' wine suggestions?
ZONA - Arbor Mist!!! And it comes in some great flavors. I think my fav is Strawberry!!!
TINA - I brought the Diet Pepsi for you!!!
I've made a fresh pot of Hazelnut coffee and the Glazer donuts are on the counter. Help yourself!!!
ZONA - Would you like some chocolate milk this morning?
ITEACH - Luv you and MR. ITEACH'S six words!!! You go girlfriend!!
TINA - What radio station are we listening to this morning? Do you have your dancing crocs on?!!?
ok.....I guess I'm in here alone :(
I hope everyone has a great day!!! Off to the skating rink I go......I hope they have the parking lot cleared off.....that would be a sight......NOT!!!
435!!!!!! yeeeesssssss!!!
JODI: I gave up chocolate for Lent...I haven't found a morning replacement yet..I guess I need a suggestion for that too! I also gave up donuts..geez this sucks the big hard one! Wait, is that bad? ;) I will try Arbor Mist..just not Sangria!
JODI: I'm here. Just s-l-o-w..
Realllllly slooooooowwww....
Bon'o~ thanks girly~ I had to laugh about your thoughts on the sport....hubby says the same things you did...he can't stand the whole thing.....but I just can't help myself~ And the sap that I am....I'm watching the UPS commercial over and over and it's making me cry...just cuz they are saying bye to Dale and it's so sweet~ (I'm a geek)
Jodi~ thanks for the DP~ needed it~ drive safe~
Zona~ mwah~
iteach~ are you going to let Mr iteach rest at all this weekend? :)~
TINA: Awwww...you are such a sweet geek though..
