Eating Burnt Toast…
So, I know I may be behind the curve, but I have only just recently started reading Teri Hatcher’s book “Burnt Toast and Other Philosophies of Life”. I have to say that I am enjoying in very much. It’s a bit more self-help than I was expecting, but still a very entertaining read. It isn’t all self-help, though. She also shares quite a few interesting stories about her life.
A couple stories she told in particular got my attention. One was during a section where she went into dating disasters (I’m sure most of us can relate to that). A certain guy she’d been introduced to was staying with a friend. They agreed to go on a date, but the date never happened. Not only that, he didn’t even call to cancel the date; her friend did. In his defense, he did have a good excuse: he was under arrest for fraud. Then there was a drug addict and a guy who decided to go back to his ex. Yes, she’s not shy about admitting she’s a loser magnet.
Another funny story was about taking chances. She went out with a guy who later became one of her best friends. During the course of the evening the car died and they had a hard time finding a ride home, so they jumped on a bus that ended up taking them close to an airport. Deciding to be spontaneous, they hop a flight to Vegas only to have a horrible time. Still, she was glad they did that. It was an adventure for her.
The book portrays Teri as being a very normal and fun person with a boatload of insecurity despite her fame. I think that’s something we all relate to. I recommend picking this one up… she’s a riot in it and she makes a lot of good points. It certainly shows one thing- she’s much more domestic and together than her TV counterpart.
Well, that’s all for now. See y’all next time for more dish about the ladies and men of Wysteria Lane. Take care!

Don’t feel badly about never reading this book until now. I still haven’t either, but I’d really like to!
BTW, I never knew this site existed, but I’m glad it does. I’m so excited to read a different blog!
