Something to read as I work on my next novel.
Crushes. There are crushes that satisfy—dreamy glances that eventually turn into the sweet and cherished “do you like me back?” conversation. And then they tell you that they’ve loved you all along.
Dawwh. My sentimental heart, be still!
There are crushes that are forbidden—dark and dangerous, stupid, or crazy. Crushes that force you to exercise every unit of self control to keep you on the straight and narrow.
And then, there are those crushes that can never love you back.
I haven’t done a post like this in the past because I didn’t think anyone would care to read it. Also, it’s weird to say, “welcome to a post where I talk all about. . .
Then I thought: but it’s fun to read people’s quirks.
THEN I thought: I’ve been blogging for seven years, it could be a fun challenge to think of ten new things.
Challenge accepted.

I’ve been feeling gloomy.
So, being the self-sufficient woman that I am, I decided to self-medicate with food. Because–what else is there to do? We’re in a bloody pandemic.
Like my use of the word bloody? Turned British there for a moment. I’m back now.
I barely saw it coming. By the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse—and an alarm sounded in my brain.
DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!

A few weeks ago, I was at a dinner party when the subject “cat vs. dog” arose. It came up in that imminent way sensitive subjects always seem to arise in mixed company, dangling before your eyes, teasing and dangerous, Russian-roulette-style, (much like politics, religion, and race). In which, you don’t know what comment you’ll make that will inevitably offend half the guests present.
It’s a tricky game to play.
However, without the need to put down Man’s Best Friend, here are some reasons why you need a cat in your life.
Because you probably just need a cat in your life. Period.

I am in the process of nesting.
I read The Year Of Less** and a fire has ignited in the deep hollows of my gut. My gut hollows, if you will.
** Quick book review: great premise, though I didn’t care too much about her incredibly in-depth personal journey. **
However, I shut the book with one thing in mind: I must purge, organize, and clean.

I’ve created a reputation for myself.
It started young, this special gift of mine. There are always those popular “Rebekah stories” that surface whilst entertaining guests over dinner, and the one about me wrecking my dad’s classic car is definitely at the top.
It isn’t what you think.
Oscars 2020 went live yesterday afternoon. You bet your bottom that I was cozied up on the couch, wearing my fluffy, Smiling-Panda socks and clapping like an excitable crazy person.
I had been looking forward to this all weekend: watching the Oscars LIVE for the first time.
It all started when I received a phone call from my daughter asking me, as she has in the past, if I was doing anything that night.
She was car shopping and wanted to know if I would go with her. The drive time to the dealer with traffic—over one hour and a half.
Pondering how crazy it was to shop for a car that was so far away on a weekday evening, I agreed, and we left.
