<p>Bow chicka bow wow.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are actually doing nothing for Valentine's day.  We will get some small gift cards for the kids to *$ or something.  Maybe $5.  We do have a date night for next weekend, in boB's parent's hood - Long Wharf Theater in New Haven.  <a href="http://www.ctpost.com/entertainment/article/Assume-the-Position-set-for-three-day-run-in-1008965.php" target="_blank">http://www.ctpost.com/entertainment/article/Assume-the-Position-set-for-three-day-run-in-1008965.php</a></p>

<p>Kate - you did fine!!!  Congrats on becoming a pundit!!</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Thanks, <strong>Kris</strong> and <strong>Litch</strong> for the support.  I'm my toughest critic.  I do think it's interesting that a 15 minute interview about a whole range of issues gets cut down to a few seconds.  Maybe after a little more practice, I'll pursue that pundit thing.  <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm spending my weekend prepping for next week's classes.  Very romantic!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Have a good one!</p>

<p>Hi!  I am working most of the weekend, but am hoping to get in some fun...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kate - I thought the interview was good as well - you are way too hard on yourself.  But I admit, I cannot stand seeing video or audio recordings of myself, so I completely get it.</p>

<p><strong>Prae</strong>, I also think you did fine.  Not as though you need to hear one more person say it.  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Litch</strong>, my parents have been going to Long Wharf Theater for over 40 years (i.e. as long as they've lived in CT).  Somehow I doubt they'll be going to that show, though...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I finished my long run, so now I can goof off and eat like crap.  <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>Hi all - just showered up from my race; gonna' grab some lunch and then start the process of deconstructing my hard drives from my old desktop.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Prae</strong> - you are wayyyy too critical of yourself.  I've seen many an "expert" on news reports come off as dull and/or monotone; you come off as someone who not only has knowledge of but also is passionate about the topic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the other hand, I'm like <strong>Mindi</strong> in that I do kinda' groan when I see myself live on camera, so your initial reaction is probably more along the lines of most people's.</p>

<p><strong>boB</strong>, I never say no to multitudes of praise!  <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks, everyone.  I know I'm too hard on myself.  I was reminded of the following exchange on Friends:</p>
<p>Monica:  The camera adds 10 pounds.</p>
<p>Chandler:  Just how man cameras were on you?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, it was thrilling!</p>

<p>Glazed a kiln load of stuff today, and it took for freaking ever, and I am wiped out. OY. Firing right now, first turn up is in about 15 minutes. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and GO PRAE!!! </p>

 

[praecipua]

<p>I hope the low number of posts today is a sign that all the 30s are getting some serious action this Valentine's Day weekend!</p>

 

[gatorbob]

<p>Here's some fun.  The first video I've ever uploaded to YouTube myself.  Not exactly Oscar-worthy, but fun nonehtless.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>

<p>Love that video <strong>bob</strong>!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Nothing interesting going on over here. I think I might clean all the things today. And do some organizing.</p>

 

[Ailarie]

<p>Aww.. Jillian is adorable!  I still can't believe she's grown so much.  I remember when she was growing in Maggie's belly and it just doesn't seem like Jillian should have grown THAT much since then!</p>

 

[Runninlaw]

<p>Insanely cute! </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I literally have been working ALL weekend.  And am still going strong. It was almost 50 degrees and sunny and I.did.not.even.run.  Seriously.  But, I did take an hour to go out to dinner with the family, which was cool.  Ooh - and DH brought me roses.  I so appreciate the fact that he is in the same business as me and understands these weekends. </p>

<p>Hi! Totally bizarre and busy weekend here.   Nothing worth typing out and all is well with everyone, so it's no biggie.  Hope everyone else has better Valentine's Day plans than I do.  We're planning on eating leftovers at home tomorrow night </p>

 

[katholeenie]

<p>I haven't been able to post most of the weekend. Not sure what the deal is with that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jillian is fun.    <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif"></p>
