I was motivated by anger and wanted to portray a stereotypical sleazy agent (which mine wasn't, I was just mad) so I started to write She Sins one way but almost immediately the story took on a mind of its own and went in another direction. I'm glad it did. I like it much better like this. xo(less)

New Year's Resolutions, Reinventied

New Year’s resolutions don’t hold the same glamor for me they once did. In days of yore, when I was relatively fresh and naïve, I was certain that losing ten pounds, ridding myself of cellulite and maintaining my hair color were the magic bullets of fulfillment. Ten years ago I made my living as a plus-size model and budding television personality. Ten years ago things like ten pounds, cellulite a Read more of this blog post »

AJ's book-reMarks shared a highlight from
Motherhood Martyrdom & Costco Runs by Whitney Dineen
“Margery, look, that man’s wearing an eyepatch!” Margery looked and before I could stop her, jumped up on the bench and yelled, “It’s a pirate, Hope!” Then she caught the man’s eye and waved extravagantly, “Ahoy, matey!” Not to be outdone by her older sister, Hope hopped up on her seat, punched her fist in the air, and added, “Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!”

Motherhood Martyrdom & Costco Runs by Whitney Dineen
My love for you is the greatest thing I can give to you. I will always have your back and I will always fight for you, even if I sometimes have to fight against you to succeed. Be true to yourself, whoever that may be. I don’t care if you’re gay, straight, thin, fat or if all your clothes are tie-dyed (although I will probably try to talk you out of that one). You are mine and you are perfect!

Quotes by Whitney Dineen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My job doesn’t define me. The people I love define me. And if Nan’s aneurysm taught me one thing, it’s that those people are getting older, and their lives are getting shorter. I don’t want to be a full day’s journey away from them. I want to make the most of our time together and enjoy the absolute crap out of them while I have the chance.”
Whitney Dineen, Relatively Normal

“Every few minutes I look up from the screen and spot Moira. Happiness fills my body.”
Whitney Dineen, A Hate Like This

“Joke all you want, but at the end of the day, life is about who we love and how we love them”

“His name is Richard Bingham and he’s an advertising executive at Bingham, Charles & Alexander. And yes, he is the Bingham in the title. He says, “I loved watching you eat your lunch. You really savored the flavors.”
I am immediately mortified by his comment as I can only imagine what I must have looked like. I get an image in my head of a phone sex commercial for 1-800 eat-this. I grimace and beg, “Please tell me you were not watching me eat.”
But he just smiles, “I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. That’s why I brought the desserts over. I can die a happy man if you’ll just take one bite of each of them for me.”
Whitney Dineen

“By the time Kevin picks me up and we get seated at the restaurant, I’m so famished I’m ready to eat my napkin. Instead, I point across the room and say, “Look, doesn’t that girl look like Becky Brady from high school?” And as he turns to take a gander, I grab a roll and stuff it into my purse. I try the trick once more and by the time I have secreted away two rolls with pats of butter, I excuse myself to use the ladies room. I sit on the toilet and devour them both in seconds. They are the best thing I’ve ever eaten and I would kill to have the remaining two here in the bathroom with me. Yet once the initial euphoria of my crime wears off, I immediately feel guilty.”
Whitney Dineen

“Snuggling into my lumpy pillow again, it occurs to me that I’m laying down. Then it occurs to me that the arm rest between us must have been lifted because I am in fact lying on Elliot’s lap and the hard pillow that I’m snuggling my face into isn’t actually a pillow at all. And the reason it keeps getting harder is because… hello! Elliot Fielding is not as immune to me as he would like us both to believe. Before I sit up, I purposefully put my hands under my cheek and cop a brazen feel. Then I push up and stare into the eyes of the man who has allowed me to sleep on him for the past two hours.”
