Thursday, June 22, 2006       ( 2:09 PM ) Rebecca   My friend J. just came up with an premise for my sequel: “Break ‘em up Babe,” in which Rachel goes around busting up every marriage and/or long-term relationship she can find only to get gunned down by a posse of vigilante wives and die a lonely death mourned by no one except, of course the sex-starved husbands whose lives she so greatly enriched for a short, enchanted time. Jeez. I’m sounding like the glib Breakup Babe of yore. Yessir, that’s how you know I feel like shit – when I start pretending I am cool and in-charge and don’t give a flying f*ck about men. Ha. I am certainly not cool and in-charge right now, especially when it comes to men. Why here are just a few things I’ve been doing. Crying! Deliberately going out of my way when leaving my condo in the morning to see the cute and flirty construction worker I have a crush on, only to become extremely nervous when I see him and not know what to say! Hanging out with adorable and completely unreliable men from my past when I am at my most emotionally vulnerable! Resisting adorable men who might actually be good for me because I am too busy doing all the above! OH and now that it’s summer, please remember never EVER to ask me how my summer is going or I will have to kill you. Love, Rebecca | # E-mail Breakup Babe

My novel BreakupBabe is out! You can buy it here. Check out my author blog here, and my new personal blog here. Photo by Bradley Hanson This blog was the inspiration for my novel. It helped me get through a horrible breakup and kept me entertained for years. But all good things must come to an end. I will recycle oldies but goodies from the archives here, but will blog about about writing here, and about all kinds of other stuff here. The Nice Peeps Who Link to Me
