I’m working in a dog spa right now to get out of the house. I know what that dog is. They’re gorgeous. It’s the dog in one of my favorite movies. “As Good As It Gets!”

Awkward Author Social Interactions...
My author friend Sibella moved to Arizona recently and we met up to shop for vintage furniture. I told her every time authors get out socially, an angel gets their wings. Let's face it, writers live in their heads most of the time. So I need to preface this next story with some backstory. Before ...
Thank you for this. It’s actually very helpful. I’m daughter is getting married so I’m traveling a lot and I can’t get a dog until after June. I’m grateful for that but at the same time jealous of your houseful. I’m very sorry about your baby. I just had no idea how difficult it would be. What kind of puppies did you get?

She did! I'm so happy to have her here. I remember when you lost Poppet. I didn't know how connected one could be to a dog. But it makes total sense when they listen to us talk out our dialogue all day. I'm trying not to be creepy with other people's dogs, but I get that need for puppy kisses!

This is the worst kind of hypocrisy to me. Once, I knew a woman who couldn't teach at BSF because her husband had been divorced when he married her. At the same time, I knew a woman actively teaching in BSF who was having an extramarital affair. That's why we can't judge. We have no idea what's going on in someone's life. I once counseled this woman not to divorce her husband or she was making that choice for her kids. Blah, blah, blah. I was so passionate in my pleas. Turns out, she was being horribly abused in that marriage and he was telling everyone she was a drunk -- when she didn't drink. I learned my lesson young, that you have NO idea what is going on in a marriage so while no one should try to break up a marriage, not all marriages are images of God's love for His church.
I'm so glad you and your ex found healing and din't turn from God because His people were ridiculous. : )
Authenticity as Christians...
I was raised Catholic. As a Catholic, you are taught from a young age that God sees everything. What other people think of you is inconsequential because God sees all. And hell is scary. When I started dating an evangelical Christian in college, I was shocked at how much his mother despised me an...
That's my old girl, Fiona. She is nearly 14!

I get fired up sometimes. LOL

I didn’t watch this season. I hope the girl has grown since then but means girls usually stay mean. I am upset Chris is gone over this. I believe the bachelor was looking for an excuse to not marry. He’s a commitment phobe. I think all the girls dodged a bullet. But in fairness, is usually feel that way about the Bachelor. Jake Pavelka and Juan Carlos for example.

Chris Harrison Canceled -- Sigh
Okay, I'm not watching the Bachelor this season, so I had a really hard time figuring out why Chris Harrison was canceled. Here's what I can figure out. A girl on "The Bachelor" went to an antebellum party in 2018. Which of course means she's racist. (eye roll) Because Chris Harrison stood up for...
Ugh. This fixes nothing. People have to start fighting back. I mean, Dr. Seuss? Mr. Potatohead? We are losing rights by the moment.

It’s a legit fear now. They played Psycho on TCM last night and preached something on gender fluidity. Um no. It is explained at the end of the movie. And it’s called Psycho! 😂

Scarlett is on TCM tonight. And I’m taping it. Though I know it by heart. It’s kind of shocking it’s not canceled yet but Dr Seuss is. I love Gone with the Wind and I’m not apologizing for it. No roots in the south. Just love the story and the clothes and the characters.

All these attacks just lose their power. It’s everything. Everyone. Let’s say the whole world is racist. How does it fix anything? If the whole world admitted to being racist, it still doesn’t fix the problem. We need solutions. Not cancel culture. Come on, Dr. Seuss??

Thank you. I sure hope we get a wedding! It’s in 2022 right now.

Wedding Dress Shopping -- this is not your Mama's dress...
I'm the sparkly, princess, ballgown sort. Well, not anymore, but when I was young and getting married. My dress was typical '80's glam and I still love it. But now, my baby girl is getting married and wow, times have changed. (Elle in my dress when she was nine.) First off, my girl is nothing ...
I would get your aunt to say she needs a companion to help her. My friend’s daughter got married at Donner Lake since her Tahoe place got canceled. I was uninvited with Covid. Sad.

I hear you. The church does not feel comfortable if you don't speak in a sweet, southern accent and call everyone darlin'. Now I'm being snarky, but I wish we looked to the Bible for definitions instead of church culture about what is acceptable.

My son was here this week so we watched "Hubie Halloween" which is a new Adam Sandler movie on Netflix. It's a throwback to all of his other movies and I for one, loved it. I am not above stupid humor and Adam was born two days after me so all of his music and references are familiar to me. It wa...
I miss being the stupidest person in the room: Stanford Nobel Prize
I grew up in the shadow of Stanford. Before Silicon Valley was Silicon Valley, but it's always been an intellectual haven. I'm used to being the dumbest person in the room with emotional intelligence. It was my superpower. If this... Continue reading

Yes, Jonah and I both laughed out loud a few times. Oh maybe I should up my spy skills. That might make for an interesting book.

I suppose being a novelist would be considered a touchy-feely job, but that is not my personality. Even though I'm an INFP, I have a harder edge because I want people to do the right thing -- even when no one is looking and I will call them out for it.
