Yamfoot = Bridget Jones?

Just finished watching the second Bridget Jones movie (Bridget Jones and the Edge of Reason I think it's called).

Did you see it? No?

Well Bridget is fat, about a size English 12, and she has trouble finding suitable men. The Hugh Grant character she has sworn off after one or two shags. At the end of the first one (Bridget Jones' Diary), she found that she liked Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth.

So in this second movie, she's in a relationship with him that lasts all of 8 weeks. Then she nearly sleeps with Daniel Cleaver (Hugh Grant) in Thailand. She doesn't, because she is still thinking about Mark Darcy. After Mark, a Human Rights lawyer helps her get out of jail in Thailand for cocaine smuggling (doan offer to carry nutten fi nubaddy), and she hears how he had to move the earth and the moon to do it, she realizes that she is in love with him.

But while they were broken up, she had resigned herself to being a 33 year old single fat woman, never to find love or anything even close to it.

So I thought of myself. Only I'm not a size 12, but rather an English 16-18. And I'm approaching 40, so I think that's it for me init. Am I worried? Not really, but I sure would like to know what it's like before I die (which could be at 40) to really feel that warm and fuzzy tingling feeling that makes you act kinda stupid even, about a man. I'm sure SmallIslandGirl Amelia could write a book about that!

But anyway, lemme continue roaming, and let my eyes wander. Maybe they'll settle on someone. Just maybe. (But I'm not really looking)

Honestly.

OMG I watched that movie on cable last night my husband of course rolled his eyes and went to watch tv in the guestroom because he knows how I loove Bridget Jones the thing is the book was much better than the movie so if you can put your hands on it or email I will send you a copy.
Yamfoot the thing is I think I fall in love too easy if a guy is nice to me or kind I want to make his babies I was always like this but I work with men and I knew how mean they can be to women I saw too much in my 20's I was not into them at all I was like you enjoying my single life a lot I mean I was traveling like crazy spending my money I had all the nice clothes a few friends that I hung out with and I swear I was not looking but it was lonely sometimes you would go on a trip and wish you had someone to share it with and I live in Trinidad and I don't fit the mold of drop dead gorgeous women i'm dark skined very short and like Bridget I had my flaws but i was not going to settle I knew I deserved being treated a certain way and yes I kissed a few frogs along the way thankfully not too many and until you find that person who treats you like the queen that you are then enjoy your single life because you give up a lot i haven't traveled by myself in 7 years always have to take the baby or do the family thing I want to go to NY by myself and shop for myself without the family in tow maybe someday.
Also that feeling of truly being in love I did not know it until I met my husband that first time he touched my hand I got goose bumps maybe it was lust who knows but its a feeling where that person's happyness is really important Oh God this is one long ass post maybe I should end here who knows the next guy you sit next to on an airplane will be the one he's going to love you for who you are treat you with kindness and respect as I said a queen.
Sorry for the long post.

Never watched the new one now the first. Did't strike me as a movie I would want to watch. I can hardly find a movie that I would go to the Cinema to watch...it haffi worth the money or mi aguh vex! And I can't sit and watch a movie on cable unless it's really interesting, somehow I end up switching thru the channels.
