One Word, One Author?
If you had one word to sum up your life, what would it be?
I’ve decided my word right now is “ironic.”
At least it’s funny, right?
I think I mentioned this before, but for the first time, I sorta wish John Irving would write a novel of my life at the moment, because he could do it perfectly and make sense of it all, LOL. Tragicomedy, he calls his writing. I think of it as that which would be tragic is so ironic, it becomes comedy.
So what would your word be? And who would you choose to write your life right now, other than yourself?

Frustrating.
And I don’t want anyone writing my life, including myself. Well, okay, maybe Anne Tyler, although I’m not sure even she could make it interesting.
Frustrating is generally interesting, if not pleasurable!
Busy.
I was down with that monster cold for so long, and now I’m making up for lost time.
Colds are the worst! Well, maybe not the worst, but I really hate them!
I’d choose “amusing”, but I’m afraid that’s what I think of my life, but not what it truly was.
That’s the best way to live life, though!
Awesome.
As long as it’s not “tragic” I think I’m OK.
*like*
“lucky”
or maybe “blessed” is a better word.
Since you’re my best friend, you can have two words!
Right now, I’d have to say “overwhelmed.” And I’d like Katie Macalister to do the honors – she can get all the slapstick nonsense just right, and turn the depressing into sexy fun. Everything it is not right now.
Good choice with the author! Yeah, so true.
I feel your pain!
Transforming! I am always in awe of how my life always seems to be metamorphosing into something newer (and fortunately, usually better). The only thing that stays the same is change!!
I love watching your life, Darcy! You are one amazing woman!
One word?
Hmm . . . .
Insane.
Hah! I’d love to watch a movie about your house with Dynamo Boy and his grandfather, not to mention all the other stuff going on. But I’d be absolutely terrified to live it, LOL!
