Ten Miles Away From Paradise

So last night I was instant-messaging (it's totally a verb!) with my good friend from high school, The Other Lisa. We were trying to find a time and place to get our families together to party. She asked if we lived by Paradise (a small town nearby) and I said, "No, we live about 10 miles away from Paradise." Then, just like that, inspiration struck me (or maybe it was just late at night and I was tired) and I said, "Hey! That would make a great title for a book. And in fact, if I was going to write my life story, that's what it would be named!"

So I came up with a few more titles for a good list of things to name my life story. Because you know one day that publisher's gonna come knocking at my door and it'd be nice to just have a list to choose from to save me some time. So here goes:

**"Ten Miles Away From Paradise"
(Okay, I'm not saying that I'm 'almost happy'--I'm actually really happy. I just thought it sounded like a funny title.)

**"What's a Normal Girl Like Me Doing In A Family Of Physics Nerds?"
(Oh, you all know I use "physics nerds" as a term of endearment)

**"Locked Out Of The MTC Dorm"
(Really, Mom--I can explain, and it's a funny story....really!)

**"A Tale Of Two Speeding Tickets"
(Okay, maybe a few more--but they were all before my mission!)

**"Jinx! You Owe Me Cheetos!"

**"Get That Giant Water Balloon Out Of Here Before It Pops"

**"Slurpees & Slurpeebility"

**"Les Pizzables"

**"Raiders Of The Lost Car Keys"

**"Much Ado About Donuts"

**"Lisa Potter And The Order Of French Fries"

Any other suggestions?

Personally, I like the Order of the French Fries one. :) What about this one: "The Day the Trombone Died."
