1. I was really thrilled to see that Dra made a rgb color chart for us, so we could easily look up color codes for our posts. 2. This is a pretty close color for the color sage, don't you think? (Well, it looks like it on a white background.) 3. I finished painting a rock I did for my honey, and am going to give it to him for Valentine's. The main design on it is a fish. He loves fly fishing. 4. I took a picture of it, and my brother took a couple pictures of me, then I'm going to take a picture of my portal to TVCH, and also take a picture of my art studio area. I'm also going to take pictures of our animals, and my BF's animals, and when the film is all used up, and I get the pictures developed, I'll post some of them here!

1. I've been here almost three years and I don't have a color. Wonder what color other people associate with me? Maybe I should start playing with that color chart to find out what fits me. 2. I took a trip to the doctor this week. Not sure what is up, but doing some blood work to find out. We're starting with the "small" and easy stuff first in the process of finding out. 3. I can't figure out whether I'm coming or going these days. Does life EVER slow down? I thought it would after I finished graduate school. I'm bitterly disappointed to find out that is not true. 4. I have to get my tax stuff together to take to an accountant, but I am not sure I even know what I'm supposed to gather up. Hmmm...maybe we need a tax thread. 5. Well, let's see...what else? I am very tired right now and will be heading to bed soon.

Spy, this is the color I associate with you because this is close to the color I used/use for your name in chat, LOL! It's #FF0099

1. Spydoc, life slows down after forty. Until then, live it up and get yours. You'll be glad you did, and never regret it. AND, bonus round, you'll be happy to give up the furor for a timely nap. Mark my words - life gets different, and you LIKE it that way, after forty; 2. I think Sage is a good color for Sage, sage woman that she is. Nice pick, and props to Dra as always; 3. Juju - I'm alarmed that you permitted your silver to degenerate into a molten, barely recognizable heap of tarnish. I trust it will be spankin' brilliant by morning (but don't use that dip-it stuff - elbow grease and buff polish, that's the ticket); 4. K - dinner with the P's was fabulous, they felt treated and dined in style, and they loved our home. WHEW, my gawd. I'm glad we tried so hard to give them a treat instead of a treatment - they took it that way; 5. But they came with an agenda - to get GAL and BigC married somewhere more family-friendly than Mexico. Not that Mexico's not family-friendly, it's just that my family doesn't necessarily travel to Mexico. SSSSSOOOOOOO, donchaknow Mommy brought out the big guns - big Daddy. Who has nothing ever to say about weddings, except this time he said "whatabout 'here'." Which is a place I never mentioned to BigC, but I'd thought about a number of times recently. Oy. Decisions. Roadtrip to have a look with the man; 6. Well, BigC has been fretting about entertaining my dad tomorrow while Mom and I shop for dresses. Except I asked my Mom to bring her wedding dress for me to try on - guess what? 45 years after they married, my Mom's dress is perfect on me and has aged to an off-white that is priceless. Exactly what I want, and the seed pearls have browned - OMG, it is magnificent. But I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to wear until; 7. I walked out to show my father and fiancee - they both lit up then they both teared up. I have my dress. 7.25 Problem solved for BigC entertaining my father, we can all relax and party all weekend. Yay us!!!!

1. I beg to differ with GAL and sorry to disappoint, Spy, but life only slows down at death! LOL I am 45 and haven't seen that after 40 slow. 2. I am hosting a 75th birthday party for my father, and I may just survive it! LOL 3. It's now turned into an engagement party cause he is getting married the next day. 4. I told him 50-65 people and he invited 52 COUPLES. 5. I have a nice house, but not quite big enough for a 100 people 6. I have the tent rental people here yesterday to bid out tenting my back yard. 7. My son and I have been frantically painting rooms that need it. 8. I am supposed to go out for Valentine's tonite, but got a little food poisoning last night and am not that crazy about eating right now.

1. Well, life is somewhat slower if you are single, not dating, and a mother only to 3 cats and numerous fishies! 2. I am going to spend Valentine's Day with my niece (aged 18 months) and my nephew (age 6). I am so excited! I haven't seen them in two weeks. They are my buddies! I got them both a hollow chocolate frog filled with gummy bugs! 3. Go Robfather! 4. I just had a brain fart. No pets were injured during this occurance. Please resume your normal lives as I get my thoughts reassembled.... 5. Still reassembling.... 6. Still reassembling.... 7. There we go! I rented Cape Fear the other day-- the original with Gregory Peck. I really love Gregory Peck. 8. I broke my bed yesterday for the second time in less than a year. For someone who has one of the most inactive sex lives east of the Mississippi River, I just don't know how this is happening. 9. Have a great weekend, everybody!

1. LOL at Hermie! I loved your #8. 2. I can relate to Hermie's bed problem. I have an old antique bed that I've inherited that squeaks and the boards keep falling. It's driving me nuts. 3. I have actually looked at purchasing a new bed, but I have a full size mattress and all the beds I like are only made for queen. 4. A queen size bed frame with a footboard would be too large for my room. It wouldn't give me enough room to walk in between my bed and armoire. Dilemma, dilemma. 5. We've been having rain all week and it's getting rather depressing. 6. Last night to fight off those rainy blues, son and I went to video store. 7. He got two games for his Playstation 2 and I got three dvds to rent. 8. I rented Le Divorce, Uptown Girls and Alex & Emma. 9. I watched the first two and fell asleep on the last one, so will watch it this morning. 10. It's still raining!!!

1. Advice for Ddr. Get some new boards. Or a big piece of plywood. We used to have one of those antique beds. We loved it. The plywood works. Get about 3/4" stuff though.

1. i'm blue. not meaning depressed. meaning color i post with. except i can't post in blue in the trivial pursuit thread cuz it confuses everyone. i always forget to not post in color there. or to post in green when i'm supposed to. 2. holly had her first day in the pool. no arms, just kicking. her wrist hurts like hell. she has an appointment tuesday with the physical therapist, and on thursday with the sports physician to see what can be done. 2.1 came home to find dh gone and a 2lb box of see's candy waiting for me. guess he likes me chubby!! 2.2 i'm getting my haircut today, come hell or high water. i'll post in the haircut thread later how it goes. 2.3 might go see a movie with the hollykins - miracle looks really good! 2.3 happy valentine's day to all my tvch friends. you make me feel loved every single day. 2.4 oh and i would NEVER post in teal (eggie), pink (lori), green (froggiegirl), or aubergine( for "you know who" - gawd, i miss seeing that color so much!)

1. DD and I are getting our haircut tomorrow. I'm a little nervous because my stylist is hugely pregnant. She cut it very short last time, but it was okay. Thankfully my hair grows quickly and I have about 6-7 weeks before DH returns! 2. Shoot, I thought I could do 3 and I'm already drawing a blank. 3. It's been raining all day and we have rain/sleet/snow forecast for the next 3 days. Uggghhh.

1. DD reports Herc is doing just fine with her in her Brooklyn apt. He loves all the interesting smells on the streets. 2. He is having a blast with old friends at this point--her roommate's 3 rescued dogs--a St. Bernard and 2 chihuahuas (all females). 3. It's been a real treat not to have to plan my day around Herc's walks, but it's funny, I swore I could hear him breathing in my 'office' all day. Kept jumping up and turning around to check on him, and then I'd remember, he wasn't here! 4. DH and I enjoyed our Valentine's Dinner out together tonight. 4.25. Happy for Ms. Eggie that her son is so loving and open he'd declare his love for his mom for everyone to hear. What a great Valentine's present on top of hearing her own baby's voice broadcasting!

1. I made a "pick-me-up" purchase today. That seems to be what I do when I'm down - spend money I shouldn't. 2. I rarely have buyers remorse and today was no exception. I got an elliptical machine. 3. I walked/ran 5 miles on that thing before I even realized it. 4. If I can do that 5 times a week, my butt and legs might look okay in a pair of shorts this summer....or maybe even a bathing suit! 5. I watched half of season two of Sex and the City today - two episodes while I did the elliptical. I love this show!

1. My favorite color is pink. I post in some threads with pink and in others just the plain old black. 2. It has been a cold, rainy, and dreary day here. 3. I have been spending most of my time catching up on some shows I recorded but haven't got around to watching. 4. I had a nice Valentine's Day and was suprised to get gifts from both DH and DS. 5. I failed to mention that my baby went to his first boy/girl party last Saturday. I think I have been trying to erase the whole thing from my mind since it means he is growing up. 6. My attempts this week to keep him convinced that girls still have cooties has been a miserable failure.

1. We still need to get our taxes done. Usually we have them done by Feb. 1, this is the first year we've gone this late. 2. Last night we dropped the kids off at my sisters, then went out to dinner. We had decidied to go wander around the mall but once we walked out of the restaurant and realized how cold it was, we were done, LOL. 3. Came home and MOW fell asleep on the couch. It was 8:30. I knew he'd be exhausted since he got up at 3:30am, so I suggested we continue date night today. 4. We slept til 9, then took showers and took 2 hours getting reaady to leave. Sat on the bed and talked, and kept saying, we should leave, LOL. 5. Finally did leave, we went to Best Buy and browsed for an hour or so, then went to lunch. After lunch we walked around the mall for a couple hours. 6. Got home just in time to get ready for the kids to come home and my neieces to come over for the night. All four kids have been great, though the baby is wide awake and cooing right now. 7. MOW and I had a terrific time. I don't think Valentine's day had anything to do with it though. It's been quite awhile since we have been able to spend some quality time with just each other. 7.5 Dakota read her very first book tonight. The first book she actually read and didn't have memorized.

1. I had a pretty fun weekend. 2. Friday we went out and met my cousin's new boyfriend. Kinda boyfriend. Whatever you want to call him. Her new interest I suppose. She and her husband separated in August and the divorce isn't final yet (he forgot to do the papers until November). He lives in St. Paul and they met on a ski trip. He seemed like a really nice, fun, smart guy. 3. Yestarday my best friend and her husband came up for the night. She's getting big! She's a little over 6 months pregnant now. 4. We went to the Korean place again. YUM, yum, yum. I got my usual, but this time I made a little soy sauce/wasabi paste to dip my tofu in. 5. Wasabi means clear sinuses Korean I do believe. Wow. I love it, but I saw a woman pop a big glob of it in her mouth trying to impress her date/boyfriend/guy she was with. Yikes. That's all. She was shaking afterwards. 6. Poor BF is sick now. By the time they left this afternoon and he'd already gone to bed to take a nap. He got up later and sat sniffling and sneezing until he went back to bed about an hour ago. Guys are such drama queens when they're sick. 7. Tess, Nigel and Otis are freshwater angelfish. My little angels 8. I started using Miracle Grow lately on my plants (for about 2-3 weeks now) and damn, that stuff really works!

1. 'k, we survived the weekend and it in fact went extremely well; 2. Dad still didn't tell Colossus to call him by his first name after all that, so Colossus says he's going to call him "Hey You, Sir" for the rest of his life; 3. While Mom and I were shopping, the Colossus showed Dad his business and went to the War Memorial downtown. Dad seemed pretty impressed with both sites; 4. After a full day of shopping for bridal wear on Saturday, Mom and I treated ourselves to a tour of the Sax Fifth Avenue fur sale. Mom had her checkbook ready, in case she felt the need to treat herself to a 65th birthday present, but didn't see anything she couldn't live without; 5. Nonetheless, trying to match anything having to do with a 45-year-old gown that has aged to its own unique color is an ordeal. It was fun showing it off - people were coming from all over the store to see the old dress (the skirt is absolutely massive - it was made to be hooped), but they all agreed it was "timeless" as opposed to "old"; 6. But, we managed to get my tiara, veil, petticoats (NO HOOP), shoes and ring-bearer cushion. In my entire life, I've never had so much foofery and frockery on my person - nor did I ever see it coming around the bend. It's amazing the things chicks can be talked into when they're planning a wedding; 7. Mom has very specific ideas on weddings and accoutrement; I don't necessarily, except I know what I like and don't like when I see it. We had words over the edging of the veil, of all things. And we aren't going to see eye-to-eye on the bridesmaids colors, I don't think; 8. We'll likely go with a reddish-cinnamon, sage and champagne for the wedding colors, as it is a fall wedding and the color of my dress prohibits some choices; 9. I tried to load a picture of my tiara, but no dice. Sigh.

1. I haven't posted in this thread in forever. 2. It seems for the most part I don't have anything interesting to say. 3. One thing, my 5 1/2 year old dd was caught walking around at the babysitters with her britches down around her knees, butt-nekked. 4. Dh was mortified. 5. I was pretty amused. She has no waistline, the elastic around the top of the jeans is worn out, so I'm guessing she got tired of pulling them up. Her reasoning: "it was just funny, Mommy." 6. I now call her Miss Moon. 7. There are only 34 days until the 1st day of Spring. 8. I think there are 46 days until Daylight Savings. 9. I'm completely obsessed with summer getting here so we can break out the boat and go waterskiing. 10. GAL beat me, now I have to think up a #10...did I mention there's only 34 days until Spring?
