I was recently asked in an interview, "If you were going to a deserted island, what three books would you take with you?" I answered:
1. The Diary of Anne Frank. That was the first book of significance that popped into my head.
2. Any Sidney Sheldon novel (I've read them all)
3. A dictionary because I love words.
I love looking up definitions and I love thinking of different ways to say things. In all of my novels, I use the word love a lot.
You can say I LOVE you. You can also say I ADORE you, I WORSHIP you, I'm IN LOVE with you, I'm DEVOTED to you, I CARE for you, I find you IRRESISTIBLE, I'm FOND of you, I have a WEAKNESS for you, I GO for you, I FANCY you, I have a THING for you, I'm wildly ATTRACTED to you, I have PASSION for you, I DIG you, I'm MAD about you, I'm OBSESSED with you, I'm willing to DIE for you, I'm NUTS for you, and my favorite one, I overwhelmingly psychotically FRANTICALLY DESIRE you.
So instead of telling your guy you love him, go with one of these and see what happens!
By the way, I also asked if I could bring DVD's of the first few seasons of "Sex and the City" to the deserted island.

Life is good... and I'm sorta starting to feel it in my clothes
Life is good...
The book's getting great reviews, sales are coming in nicely, I'm working on my next novel, my kids are great, the weather's been gorgeous, and my boyfriend and I couldn't be better.
I've always heard that when you're happy, you get fat. That just might be the case. I'm just sayin...the clothes are a little snug these days. Not sure if my metabolism's changing or I'm just slacking a little bit on my diet/excercise regime, or maybe I'm just so engrossed in all the fun, exciting things going on that I'm neglecting to realize I'm overeating. Whatever the case, I'm not too thrilled (and neither would you be.)
On the other hand, in the dark days, (a few years ago) when I was miserable and depressed all the time, I was really skinny. So, given the choice, I'd rather be pudgy and happy, than tiny and perpetually gloomy.
BUT, that being said, I will not cave and accept my 5 pound gain! I will overcome! I will persevere! And I will work out harder and stop eating trail mix and Hot Tamales!
If you have any suggestions to help me shed the recent elbs, please feel free to post! In the meantime, I continue to feel grateful and happy for everything I have in my life, most importantly, my health and the health of my kids. Trust me, I've got things in perspective.
The low carb, sugar free blitz starts today! Bu-bye love handles, bu-bye muffin top!
