The February Blah's

I know why February is the shortest month of the year - it has to be the most depressing month of all the other months. Think about it

January - We're still reveling in all the festivities and new gadgets from Christmas and New Year.
March - Well besides the fact that it is my birthday month the temperature is getting warmer, we switch over to daylight savings time (HOORAY - ONLY 37 DAYS TILL THE SWITCH), glimmer of hope that spring is on its way and I can start planning my garden.
April - Yet even warmer temperatures, flowers are popping up and I can start early plantings
May - Summer is just around the corner and the garden should be planted
June, July, August - SUMMER IS HERE - need I say more
September, October - FALL - I love fall, the colors, smells and sounds. It's still warm with a slight crispness in the air
November - Thanksgiving
December - Christmas

Really what is there in February - besides being the hardest month to spell, dirty snow and cold temperatures?

And please don't say Valentine's Day. That is just some made up "holiday" for us to buy cards, candy, flowers, jewelry etc. I don't need a "holiday" for my man to tell me how much he loves me and how much I mean to him. We express this to each other every single day. He is lucky to find someone like me because we both feel this way about this supposed "holiday".

So if not Valentine's Day then maybe I could look forward to President's Day right? Wrong - if I actually had the day off from work then that would be something to look forward to but for now it is just another day.

So right now the best thing about February is that it is the shortest month of the year but somehow I have a feeling that it is going to feel like the longest. So looking on the bright side of things as I try to do - ONLY 24 MORE DAYS TO GO!!!
