1. I have gained the 7 pounds that Jbean lost. Thanks for sharing!! 2. I believe that I felt the baby "kick" on Tuesday night as I went to bed. 3. I think that I had felt it before but shrugged it off as my imagination. 4. Can't wait for the ultrasound!!

1. I only gained 2 pounds on vacation. I think most of that is in my new "beer belly"! 2. I need a vacation from all the vacationing!! 3. Feeling that first "kick" is soooo amazing! Congrats Spitfire!! 4. It's hard to get used to temps that are 80 degrees colder.... brrrrr.... 5. I am going to parents night for Jordans basketball team tonight. He has done so well this season. And now we get a nice long break until baseball! Whew!!

1. Asking for your help with a lovefest in Rosie's folder, please. 2. My DD is asking me to drive Herc to her apt in Brooklyn tomorrow for a visit through Sunday. 3. I hate to do that cuz I will miss him. 4. But I know DD wants to snuggle and visit with him, so I will. 5. DH has Monday off for President's Day. 6. Love hearing about Spitfire's wonderful event! What a happy feeling!

No, thanks, Legal. Never thought there was anything wrong with getting a little love, whether there's a reason or not. But it's your call, Rosie.

I'll do 7! 1. Today I had a fun time at work...working. 2. First, the Chief of Staff comes into my cubicle and sits down in my "guest chair" and starts asking me questions about Reality TV shows because he knows that I have been known to watch a few...LOL! In the past, he has tried to deny that he watches such shows but then I get him into a conversation and pretty soon he blurts out something that only we Reality TV watchers would know..LOL. He's always so busted!! 3. So he and I have this fun conversation and I've actually got him laughing like a little kid! I answer most of his questions and he tells me that I'm good. Well what else would he expect from someone like me who lives at TVCH?! Anyway, this was one fun and unusual occurence today. 4. The next one happened when Admin sends me an email and tells me to come to her office in 10 minutes. "EeeeGads" I think to myself, what does she want? Since I'm 4% innocent, I feel confident that it's not about a corrective action. 5. Well I go in and she asks me to help her look through these pictures of Dinner/Dance events held from 1980 to 2003. Turns out she needs about 25 pics for some ice sculpture where the caterer is going to freeze the pictures into the sculpture, which will be put on display at cocktail hour for our upcoming event. 6. So for the next 2 hours, we sit there and pass pictures to each other that we find for a possible entry. We had lots of giggles over some of the hairdo's from the 80's....and she was in some of those pictures! 7. So tomorrow will be payback day for me and I'll be working my tail off...but it was so worth the laughter that I participated in today!

1. Tomorrow is going to be busy! 2. Kota's teacher asked me to bring raw veggies for their Valentine's day party to counter the sugar from all the treats they'll have at their party. 3. So first thing in the morning, I have to cut a ton of veggies. 4. Then I have a bunch of cleaning to do, ok, not all that much, but with the kids going to my sisters I want it all done because then it will stay clean for a whole day! 5. In the afternoon, I'm going back to Kota's class to help out with the party and whatever is needed. The morning teacher is off work for awhile, so the afternoon teacher is twice as busy. 6. Then I need to rush home, get the kids packed for their sleep over at sis' house. 7. Before dropping them off I need to get myself ready. I actually have a reason to dress up! 8. Because for the first time in months, MOW and I are having a real date. Dress up, go out alone, sleep in late in the morning, and we'll have most of tomorrow alone before we have to pick up the kids and my neices so sis and bil can have a night out.

1. Otay, the fanblades and the baseboard behind the stove are clean along with everything else (Colossus told me to ask you ladies when the last time was you had a look behind your stove? He did the honors here, and I heard his scream on the other side of the house); 2. Pictures are framed and hung; mantle is in a state of dissatisfaction for both of us, which means it's a good compromise; fresh roses are vased; bed linens changed and pillow shams stuffed; plants are dusted and Victoria's Secret catelogues are stashed away (Colossus recommends to all the guys on the Board that they buy their lady an Angel Card: he gets new VS catelogues every week, and he likes them better than his Playboy collection); 3. New table linens and napkins purchased and test driven with the good china and silver settings which are courtesy of my parents. Now I gotta press the tablecloth. Blech; 4. Wish I remembered off the top of my head how to set a formal table. When you have a napkin in a napkin ring, does it go inside the forks next to the plate? Smallish table, so I'm putting the placecards on the plate. Is this allowed? They're silver; 5. Colossus printed up pineapplehead pictures for the placecards, with superimposed names on the bottom. The one for my Dad says "Sir", since dad still hasn't asked Colossus to call him by his first name. LOL; 6. It's pretty funny because my Dad never had a name for my Mother's mother; to the day she died, Grandma signed her cards to my Dad "Hey You;" 7. After this, Colossus may be sentenced for life to calling my dad "Sir;" 8. We're ordering out Bucca de Beppo's for dinner, food my parents love but they don't love the noise at Bucca's. So we'll eat here in relative quiet and do some wedding planning; 9. Finally. Jeez louise, it's been a long week. Hope you all have a fanTAStic weekend!!!

9.5 Gal, it sounds lovely. Any way you do #4 will be fine, I'm sure. Here's a link I found for you: http://www.etiquetteandimage.com/Formal-Table-Settings.html 9.75 I was thinking you could sneak the placecards to the table in front of the plates, so you can put the napkin rings in the centers of the plates. But check thru the etiquette guide if you want to be officially correct!!

9.9 I'm shocked GAL doesn't know her place settings! and very happy to note that I have a flat-glasstop-in-counter stove top and built-in double ovens, so I don't have to ever clean under/behind the stove! Have a great weekend Colossus and GAL!

9.95 My husband uses the leaf blower to clean out from behind the refrigerator and the stove. Tell Colossus that's a "man's" job to take care of.

1. Hmmm.... Should I do 1 or 10 at this point? There are 11 various decimals listed as facts beyond 9....but what's the fun in only doing one right? 2. I'm having quite a good Friday the 13th. 3. I got called to sub this moring and the woman asked me if I wanted the High School English or the High School E.D. assignment. Ummmmm....yeah. I picked English. 4. And what a good choice it was. The high school has five 70 minute "mods" (classes). The teacher whose classes I covered has Literature and Advanced Literature for the first two mods. Third mod is broken up with four lunch periods and she has the hour off, but has lunch duty for "D" Lunch, which is the last one. So I was off for lunch from 10:20 until 11:55 when I had to go to the cafeteria. After that was a Tecnical Writing class 4th Mod and she has prep 5th (last) Mod. What am I babbling agbout? 5. Her schedule meant that I basically worked for four hours today. I did three classes and lunch duty and was able to leave at 2:00 because she had no more classes. What an easy day. 6. During lunch I ran to the Chinese buffet place where they have one of those things where you make your own veggie dish and they cook it with those big sticks for you. Unfortunately they didn't open until 11:00 so I went to Subway instead. 7. I'm not so sure I want to do ten facts now. I'm running out of stuff to talk about. 8. Still haven't opened the wine making kit yet- LOL- i'll get there eventually. 9. Happy Valentines Day, TVCHers! 10. I will leave you all with a look at Nigel and Otis Fish are so not easy to photograph!

1. I am LOVING Boston! This is a great city. 2. Heard the Briton "War Requiem" tonight by Boston University people. Absolutely awesome and very chilling. Part of it is poems written by a soldier in WWI France who died just a few days before peace. Very moving piece for this time in the world. More later!

1. That danged GoddessatLaw is now making me polish silver. 2. How does she KNOW I need to do it? 3. I am thrilled that Marm loves Boston and recommend she try to find a job there. I loved Boston too after I learned on my very first day there never to attempt to drive there. It is a great walkable American city.
