It feels like I haven’t blogged in forever! I guess I haven’t
with the blog hop and a few guests. It’s funny when I know I don’t have to blog
I can think of a ton of things to blog about. When it comes time to actually
write I forget those things. LOL I suppose I need to start writing down my
ideas.
I’ve been busy writing and stressing over my friend Katalina
Leon who is deep in edits for our co-authored book. I’m stressed because she’s
buried and there’s nothing I can do. This was her baby. She knows it inside and
out. Big hugs to my friend.
I read an interview in Redbook the other day. The interview
was with John Cusack. He talked about his love for music. He was asked if he
could date and/or marry someone who didn’t enjoy his taste in music. He said
NO. Most would be surprised with his answer, but I definitely wasn’t.
When I first started dating my husband we did talk about
music – through email. He said he loved the 80s music and he was a big fan of
Bon Jovi. Now when I think of 80s music, I think Bon Jovi, Motley Crue,
Whitesnake, just to name a few. I thought how cool that we shared the same
taste. Years later I realize how different his taste is. He does love 80s, just
not the hairband stuff. I wish I could give you an example, but seriously I didn’t
listen to that stuff back then so I have no clue what their names are now.
Here’s the issue. We both have Satellite radio in our cars. He
listens to 80s on 8 and I listen to Octane (hard rock) and Hairbands. We take
his car more often than not because mine is a lease. I get stuff listening to
his stuff. It drives me nuts.
So, would I have gotten in deep with him if I knew we really
weren’t on the same page with music? I’m not sure. I’m not being mean, just
being honest. I will say I’m glad I didn’t figure it out until I was in love
with him. I’d be missing out on a wonderful life. :o)
I realized that I don’t allow my heroines to be in
relationships unless the hero shares the same interests. Maybe I should switch
that up a bit and give them some conflict and show they can co-exist.
Those are my thoughts for today. :o)
Happy Friday.
