Smith magazine’s “Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous and Obscure” is on my current reading list, and in the last week or so, I’ve come up with about 25 of my own memoirs.

I’m not sure I can narrow it down. It’s very hard to sum up one’s life in only six words. I’ve also found it hard to stop trying to write my own “perfect” one. A sampling of my latest: “Did what I loved. Thanks, college” and “Learned to be: Grateful, kind, me.”

Now it’s your turn to share your own below. There's only one rule: Keep it to six words.

On this first day of April, did anyone fool you?

I got duped by two relatively elaborate pranks pulled by friends on Facebook. And here I thought I was pretty bright. Now, to get back at them....

Pack your bags, unhappy Americans. It's apparently much better in Denmark!

It feels good to talk trash again.

I'm a former Timberwolves fan. You could call me a fair-weather fan, but really, I mean, after awhile, it's just a little tough to support a team that almost NEVER wins.

I miss the days of sitting in the Target Center nosebleed seats and swapping boos and hisses with Lakers fans as Kobe and Shaq battled it out with KG and Wally.

Why does Petco charge such high prices for their products?

Specifically, I'd like to know why a 30-pound box of Arm and Hammer Super Scoop cat litter costs $18.99 at Petco, while Petsmart charges $11.99 for the same box and Target charges $11.49 for a 35-pound box. Petco charges a whopping $7 more!!

Cat litter isn't the only thing that costs more at Petco. When we first got our dog, we regularly bought some 100-percent chicken treats for her. They were about $6 or $7 more at Petco than anywhere else.

Check it out! Dogs as gangsters! Walking on their hind legs! The drama! The hilarity!

And dogs as soldiers! How'd they do that?

I finally got to see "There Will Be Blood" this weekend. Best movie I've seen in a long, long, long, long time.

It's the kind of movie that doesn't get made much anymore - great acting, original storyline, fantastic cinematography, well-placed but not overdone musical score, etc.

Daniel Day-Lewis tops even himself in this one. A must-see, an instant classic.

Oh, and I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! (My husband got really tired of hearing me repeat this phrase dramatically over the weekend).

Though I love St. Patrick's Day (I'm 100-percent Irish, at least in my heart), I'm always disappointed by the bar scene on this "holiday." Every year, I think it's a good idea to join my friends for a drink on St. Patty's; every year, I walk away irritated and smelling of the beer some idiot spilled on me. I'm almost glad I have a City Council meeting to attend tonight.

Here's why:

I must be getting old.

I saw "No Country for Old Men" this weekend, and while I thought the acting and directing was terrific, I just couldn't get past the blood and guts.

And what was up with that ending?

I get what they're trying to say. I just didn't like how certain things weren't really resolved. I won't say much more for fear of spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.

For those who have seen the movie - what did you think? Was it worthy of the "best picture" Oscar?

So, Ralph Nader is going for it - again.

What do you think about his run for president in 2008?

Do you think Nader cost Al Gore the election in 2000? If so, could he do the same this time around?

How do you feel about Nader's argument that the nation needs people like him to change the political system?
