My Valentine's Gift

What starts with "H" and ensures you are always a bridesmaid, never a bride?
Hepatitis C?

(Real answer: Halitosis)

I'm in the den knitting (an epic shawl) and watching the latest episode of QI, while Jack takes his morning nap and Ben takes a final exam.

For Valentine's Day Ben set our DVR PC to bounce a signal around the world, ending so that it looks like I'm a UK citizen.  This allows me to use the iPlayer, sort of like their Hulu.  I can instantly watch shows from the BBC (Sherlock, QI, Doctor Who) and ITV (Downton Abbey).  Marrying a nerd has great perks.  <3
