Tootsie Farklepants of Vintage Thirty fame has tagged me with a vague, but cool six word memoir meme. She is a bit fuzzy on the details but from what she describes, I’m supposed to sum up my life in six words. No more. No less.

I am a girl who doesn’t want to reinvent the wheel (I couldn’t work that into 6 words so it is OUT). So I thought I would look to those bigger, brighter and better paid. I am hoping to steal re-work something to fit the 6 words and sum up my life. Here are a few I am considering:

Holly–Good to The Last Drop
Holly really is the Real Thing
Holly’s life is Finger lickin ™ good.
Because I’m worth it, I’m Holly
Holly is The ultimate driving machine
Holly’s got it, Holly flaunts it
Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, Holly IS!
Holly–Try her, you’ll like her
Don’t leave home without Holly
Holly’s life–greatest show on earth
It’s Holly,….it’s gotto be good
Life as Holly: M’m, M’m, good.
A little Holly will do you
Where there’s life there is Holly
Holly’s life–home of the Whopper
Holly keeps going, and going’n…going
Holly brings good things to light
Holly is art. Holly is science.
Holly tastes great. Holly’s less filling.
Holliness is next to Godliness

So many of those are so close, but just not right. I need to look a little further. Something that really expresses who I am. What my life means. Something like:

Rooty, tooty, Holly’s fresh and fruity

Oh so close!

Looks like I am going to have to put forth a little effort here. It isn’t really easy to sum up a life in a book, let alone 6 words. I am writing my own. None of those express the amazing life that I get to live. None of those capture the beauty that surrounds me. None of those relate the gratitude I hold.

It’s not especially catchy. It’s not written by a marketing team. It’s not capable of moving product. It is:

Waking daily to live my dream

That sums it up.
Hey, I might be able to sell a few mattresses with that…

I am tagging the following people (please don’t be mad, it’s ONLY 6 words):
JCK at Motherscribe
Jodi at Slow Panic
Ron at R World
CCE at Mad Marriage
Angela at Reality Testing
Happy Campers at Reese’s View

  1. I’ve been telling people exactly that same thing about Holliness. Maybe now that you’ve said it…

    This was great. I love the one you wrote.

  2. I have been seeing this meme around but I don’t think I’ll ever do it – soooo hard! Good job for you though!

  3. I love the cheats 0 aka “going’n” & “gotto.” I have been enjoying reading everyone’s and finding some new blogs.

    KEEP BELIEVING

  4. I’ve wondering how long it would take for this one to catch-up with me…it’s soooo difficult for me not to be wordy. I’ll do my best though. Should be a good exercise in literary restraint.
