a NEW target

When we last found Heather blogging/bitching about wedding proposals, she was blaming Ken and Colleen for their engagement. Well, it's your lucky day kids because Heather's found a new Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to blame: The Learning Channel. That's right, good old TLC talking about the lengths that some men will go to to continue having TLC in their lives. Especially their newest show Perfect Proposal. It's unbelievable the tall buildings that dude was willing to leap in order to show his love for this woman. And then all of her friends and family start talking about the woman and how wonderful she is, and that makes every single one of them get choked up and teary. So, seeing all these women getting choked up about the almost-bride makes ME all teary and vahklempt and I'm all rooting for the girl to be really surprised and happy. Of course, she is. Of course, she says yes. Of course, she realizes just how much trouble the dude went to to do all this for her and she starts to feel guilty for getting drunk and making out with his best friend that time. (just kidding, it wasn't really his best friend -- just some guy he plays golf with once in a while.)

[Sidenote: I wonder just how many people will think that the last reference is about something Heather's actually done. DMK note: "I'm not going to answer the question, because it's a question they shouldn't be asking!!"]

Anyways -- if anything is going to make a woman yearn for happily ever after, it's a show entirely based on the big lead-up to the BIG question. Will ya or won'cha? And can I get an answer before the game comes on??

Picture that only a LOT more romantic, and that's the show. Just another Hallmark reminder that every event must be marked by big ceremony and symbolism. Another something to instill in us that we need to hit that mark and we need to hit it NOW! All I can say boys is if you can't stand the heat, you better find a house that ain't got a kitchen!!
