I want to find this field and frolic in it. Does anyone dislike this time of year? I'm going apple picking tomorrow.

A few years ago, editors from Smith Magazine compiled six-word memoirs from writers, celebrities, and non-famous peeps into a book called Not Quite What I Was Planning. The idea was taken from Hemingway's six-word story: "For sale: Baby shoes, never worn."
I happen to really like this task but find it extremely challenging. How to describe your life in six words? I haven't yet come up with mine but I'll be sure to post it if I do. Some favorites I found from online reviews of the book:
"Well, I thought it was funny." (Stephen Colbert)
"Couldn't cope so I wrote songs." (Aimee Mann)
"I still make coffee for two."
"Big hair, big heart, big hurry."
"A sake mom, not a soccer mom."
What's your six-word memoir?
