Mostly a crazy day - Henry is 10 today! My little baby is so grown up. Big, yes, but also witty and mature and silly and goofy and sweet. He is beside himself not knowing what he will get. To keep Kaitlin quiet, I turned keeping the birthday secret into a game. When Henry asks, we make up a silly word - gigglehoffen or something. The other day Henry asked and Kaitlin said she'd tell him. She went into the kitchen, got a large fork and came back. "Henry," she said," We got you a dinglehoffer!" [Those of you familiar with The Little Mermaid might get it. You have to be 4 and a girl, or a mom to a girl who is 4 lol!]

1. How many TVs do you have in your home?
Three - Living room and bedroom plus a kitchen teeny one for the am news.

2. On average, how much TV do you watch in a week?
Myself, I watch a few hours some evenings - used to me more but now I play on the computer more.

3. Do you feel that television is bad for young children?
No. But too much or the wrong programming is bad. Commercials, for instance, should be banned.

4. What TV shows do you absolutely HAVE to watch, and if you miss them, you're heartbroken?
Not much lately, although I really like CSI and ER. Oh and Enterprise for the diehard trekker in me.

5. If you had the power to create your own television network, what would your line-up look like?
Ahem. No commercials shown at inappropriate times. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer during Martha Stewart, etc. Lots of fun designing and crafting and well, alot like lifetime, but morphed with tvland.
