I have the feeling that ...age, maturity, (?) seeing many of their friends get married - engaged - starting a family...has fostered a feeling of "maybe it's time" in a few of these young men.  (And not so young - Maks)

But I'm thinking of Alex: 

And Serge's tweet to Peta to (forget the koala bear) bring him back a gf.

I was hoping the same might be said about Val.  "I don't need another notch, Need a bae, my anchor" etc.

And especially traveling in tandem (I surely don't think Alfonso and family are on the tour bus) with and spending so much time with little AJ.  Must show them how a wife and children enhance the life you have....don't necessarily have to change it, or diminish your career.

Hope so.

Catch you later.

 

As my sister-in-law often says about changes in life, "the grass isn't always greener, it's just different."  This applies to both positive and negative events.  Marriage is only the beginning of the next chapter in one's life and, all parents know that raising kids is far from a glamorous walk in the park!  But no matter what we do in life or the choices we make when faced with a life-changing decision of any kind, there are ups and downs, pros and cons.  So long as we follow our hearts and instincts, then use our brains in making the best choice, it somehow usually comes out as the best thing we could have done.  It is all about attitude!!

Yes, Good Luck, eastcoast.  Punk rock concert...*getting a headache at the thought*  

Wanted to post this, from Meryl this morning.

Just wanted to add that Cody Simpson is the musical guest in this one.  Meryl looks beautiful in that pic!

 
Ummmmm....for anyone who thot Meryl had had a boob job based on the tango costume, I think this photo would disprove that!! She has filled out since the Olympics (thankfully), but there must have been something going on with the costume, don't you think??!! LOL Oh....maybe it was Maks, for all we know!!! LOL

Don't know -- hope it's because she gained weight. My son recently hugged an artist he knows here in Austin, and he said to me, "man it was like two rocks on her chest". I heard of a guy who hugged a woman at a Hollywood party and exclaimed, "They're REAL". I thought Cody did well.
 

Hey, Annie....if you are still online, here's something from dreamertobeliever tumblr for you to consider:

Meryl: Feb 4 through March 14 →

According to the schedule we know of, there is nothing scheduled for Meryl from Feb 4 through the start of SOI March 14(I assume they meet earlier for some practices again).

I personally can’t imagine Meryl staying in Michigan studying for over a month. I think unscheduled time maybe new…

Something is up though. There is a big fundraiser in Plymouth on the 27th. It raises money for a camp for kids with severe disabilities. Right now every major ice dance couple in the Detroit area , including Weaver and Poje, are performing except Meryl and Charlie.

Maybe Meryl and Charlie will go, but have yet to actually commit? But I agree, if they don’t go then there is a good reason.

It’s 3 weeks from today. If they were going to perform,you’d think they would have committed by now. The top 4 US teams are performing so maybe they don’t want to potentially overshadow them. They both seem to want to promote the current, and future teams( Kaitlyn and Jean Luc) rather than having everyone begging them to come back.

I agree, something is up.  They have what appears to be down time and we are getting next to nothing from them since Munson awards.  We have all seen the interaction between them at SWDOI and SWAY so we know they care about each other.  We also know that their families and friends ship them.  I can only think of two plausible explanations.  Either they are together, making good use of this time before SOI.  Or they have gone different directions.  You can make what you will of that.  Personally, I’m hanging my hat on them being together.  You just don’t dump that kind of connection unless there is a lot more to the story than we know.  Of course, there is always going to be more to the story than we know Lol! so just keep paddling I guess

Exactly

This is making me very nervous.

I don’t know why Meryl and Charlie having downtime is making people nervous about MnM. HE may not have downtime, we’ve see that before. Meryl has been busy when Maks hasn’t. Listen all the Peta tabloid stuff is going to make them go to ground again just like during the
JLO crap. If Meryl is in LA right now and they get photographed together or post something, can you imagine what the tabloids would say, ” While Petas away, Maks plays with Meryl Davis”. The last thing Maks wants to do is drag Meryl into his tabloid mess. We know they’ve seen each other before without the tabloids or them posting about it at the time. The fact she wasn’t spotted or posted anything personal for several days is a positive for us.

I fully agree with books. I’m not sure how Meryl & Charlie’s down time makes people nervous about MnM.

Above there is a reference to SWDOI and Sway, so I thought a big part of this conversation had to do with M&M.

The downtime and quiet does not make me nervous.  Their resurrection on SM yesterday almost at the exact time was enough for me.  Maks liked two of Meryl’s posts.  Jenna and Serge liking her posts.  Meryl liking Nicole’s posts.  Teddy being “Meryl Davis.!”   If they are not together now, I think they will be.  I totally agree that Maks’s tabloid problems have driven them underground, especially Meryl.  No sightings of her anywhere!

There was also a tweet on there from Lisa O'Hurley that said something like #thismaygetmekickedoutofhere"...about the golf event so apparently the attendees are under some SM moratorium.  They are all in seclusion in Palm Desert/Rancho Mirage or wherever....on somebody's private rez out there.  Nothing is gonna get out of there other than something from the head guy's wife!!!  I think since we've not had any Meryl sightings the odds just went up that she/they may be out there.  Of course, my disclaimer is that I KNOW NOTHING so don't quote me.  Just trying to connect the dots or fit the puzzle pieces together.

There was also a tweet from someone yesterday that she saw Maks in a casting room.  No pic, tho.  Maybe that was sent out as a decoy.  I can't imagine he wouldn't be at the golf event.  Rain is supposed to be coming (probably another lousy 1/4" or so!!  LOL) so good thing they must be done on the links.

The Idea of Loving a Man Like You

[size=100]I searched for you
In every room I placed foot in,
As one who searches for a treasure.
I inhaled life every second
I felt your eyes grace me,
As if a tiny addiction
Was building within;
As if one look from you
Would suffice
To keep a single ounce
Of hope alive,
Or my need to believe
There are no coincidences
To those who believe in destiny.
In fact, I have embraced the reality
That I am completely enamored
By the idea of loving a man like you.

 This is such a beautiful poem, Annie! Did this girl write an entire book of poems like this??

Yes. She wrote her first poem at age six, and the book these are in, which she wrote at 28, is titled Letters to the Men I have Loved. There are 12 letters in the book, some with an accompanying poem; some poems have no letter with them. I was at Barnes & Noble looking for something else when I saw this little book, picked it up and read one of the poems right away. So I read a couple more and decided to get the book. I had already copied sayings, poems, etc. into my documents, and I like this from Sheri LeBlanc (on twitter). Some of you may remember that she said, "In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.  I would love to know her take on Val and Janel.
 

 
Hey there, Annie....

I remember that from Sheri LeBlanc.  It's a good one!!

I would love to see Meryl with a hairstyle like Cheryl Burke's because I think it would be really cute on her. Feel free to disagree.
 

 
I love her many "looks" that you don't really get with shorter hair.  She is fortunate to have really nice, thick hair...like a mane....and no frizz or anything.  Just one more thing that makes Meryl Davis appear "perfect"!!  Just so pleased that she is humble,  humorous, and adorable in every way.

Maks better get himself squared away and put the "taken" sign on her because now that she is "famous" because of him, she may have more offers than she knows what to do with!!!  LOL  LOL
