Updated 3/2017-- all links removed as many are no longer active.
I was tagged by Midwife with a Knife who was tagged by TBTAM for the six word memoir meme.
The instructions? Write a 6 word memoir and tag 6 others. Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.
MWWAK's --- Catch a baby, watch the floor.
TBTAM's --- I want to do it all.
Dr Wes' --- Show them kindness, integrity, and love.
So here's mine:
My life is full of stitches.
To me that covers my work (plastic surgery), my hobbies (quilting, sewing, knitting), my jogging (the occasional side-stitch), and my enjoyment of good jokes (keep me in stitches).
It somehow doesn't cover my family, friends, dogs. Unless you allow me to call them the threads that hold everything together.
Here are some links to others who have played:
Seaspray, Whitecoat, Monkey Girl, Scalpel
I'll tag: Sterile Eye, Knudsen, Bongi, Scanman, Bruce, and Val. And Dr David because he feels left out and we don't want that (added 5-7-08).
I am a plastic surgeon in Little Rock, AR. I used to "suture for a living", I continue "to live to sew". These days most of my sewing is piecing quilts. I love the patterns and interplay of the fabric color. I would like to explore writing about medical/surgical topics as well as sewing/quilting topics. I will do my best to make sure both are represented accurately as I share with both colleagues and the general public.
