I’m officially on vacation from the computer this week, but I just had to “cheat” and drop by to read your Sunday Salon post.

I think it’s awesome about having your degree soon. You go girl! I be the twins outgrow being embarassed. It’s just the age although I have to say my mom can still do a bang up job of embarassing me when she decides to let loose.

I was watching More to Love but it started to bug me. Reason being I would have liked to have seen confident bigger women on the show not ones desperate for someone to love them if that makes sense. I’m heavier and I’d love to be thinner but at the same time I don’t think I’m unworthy because I’m bigger now. I don’t know. Maybe the show has changed but that’s the impression I got in the beginning so I gave up on watching it. I’m watching So You Think YOu Can Dance Canada now.

Ouch on the pinkie toe. Hope it heals up fast. That hurts big time. Have a great week Sheri!

Toe, that is.

I love meeting cool new people that you are guaranteed to see again and agin (at least as long as the season lasts). And to meet someone who reads is just icing on the cake.

I have only seen bits and pieces of episodes of More to Love. I think the show’s concept is great. Most women are not the size 2 of the Bachelorette women, they are a normal size 12-14. I agree with you Sheri that size 12 -14 is not “plus size” it’s just average. And the women on the show are smaller than they appear because the camera does add extra weight to a person. But I noticed, as you said, that there’s a lot of crying on this show. We all have traumatic episodes from growing up but many of these women can’t seem to let go of them. I wonder if, despite what they say, many of these women suffer from self-esteem issues and are very self-conscious which will cause a lot of stress for them. Instead of seeing this as a great opportunity to meet a good guy, maybe the “right” guy and/ or get some exposure, they end up feeling badly about themselves. I don’t know! But I found the show depressing and lacking in fun.

You read some great books this week! Everyone of them is on my TBR list! I think starting a conversation with the mom at the twins soccer practice about the book she’s reading is a great way to break the ice and meet someone, especially when you just reviewed the book!
The twins sound adorable! Good luck to them with soccer.

I hope your toe feels better soon. Your story about how you broke it cracked me up (jerry-springer-ish fight! Bah! lol!) but I’m sorry you broke your toe.
I hope you have a good week!

More to Love – I am hooked. I think that it can be a bit depressing, but in a lot of ways it is just a sign of how inexperienced some of these girls are when it comes to dating. One HUGE dating rule is to not delve into your dating history, and boy if that one hasn’t been broken dozens of times! The first thing that I remember clearly is one girl talking to the camera about being cheated on because she was over weight, and I wanted to tell her “Hell no! You were cheated on because the guy was a jerk!” My heart really goes out to some of these girls because honestly, I do not think some of them have ever been treated nicely before if noticed at all by a nice guy. I just want to see the catty broads go. I have never enjoyed that side of these dating shows.

I think a good second time around dating show would be great.

I am very sorry about your toe. Be careful with that. My husband broke his a few weeks ago, and I swear that he continuously hit it afterward. It was like his baby toe became a magnet for every door and corner around!

Good luck with school this semester!

I am so sorry about your pinky toe but I chuckled over how it happened. I would have done the same thing had a Jerry Springer like fight been going on right next to me.
