I never know if people will be pleased or annoyed when I tag them, so I do so with great caution. Airing, that's good to hear. I've been wondering about it. I do love the premise.

Airing, that’s good to hear. I’ve been wondering about it. I do love the premise.

And thus, it ended up in our bathroom. Make a mental note to never borrow my copy!

Better than morose. Anyway, humor almost always in order. Thanks, Bookbabie and Aboslute! Kristie, that's why I usually don't do them. Also, if I don't find it interesting, I know my readers won't, either! And I don't want to put up something just to have something up on the blog. Chipper’s not so bad, Mel. Better than morose.

I don't like the time required mostly. There are few enough hours in the day as it is!

I think the topic of the memoir depends on what is on our minds at the time. That's what was on mine. :-D Wow, Katie! That was fast. And I love the sentence you came up with. I'll have to remember that, David. If anyone assigns another one to me and <i>if</i> I get around to doing it... As for word count, I'm with Melissa. And Melissa, I loved what you came up with. It was a hilarious -- though painful -- image. Thanks, Alyson! I think the topic of the memoir depends on what is on our minds at the time. That’s what was on mine. Grin

My reasoning: if you type it in Word it's counted as one word. Anyway, I waxed poetic about my life and I think my readers will walk away thinking, "Wow, she's thwacked."
