February Love

As you know, I *love* February.  (I'll wait here while you skip back to last Feb in the archives...I know it would've been more helpful to post a link...)

And, while I have loved February fairly consistently, I have not always loved Valentine's Day (especially since most folks think Feb's only redeeming qualities are V-day and the Super Bowl [don't get me started]).

But, this year I feel inspired to go with it.  Not only love the month for all its luscious Februariness, but love the hype.  We are a fickle culture.  We'll be tearing down our crepe-paper hearts in favor of shiny shamrocks before the leftover cupcakes are eaten.  So I want to meditate in the love.  It's my way, this year, of slowing down and being aware.

February.

...Time...

Been thinking a lot about it lately and making some peace with it.  I love this post, because it makes me feel not-so-lonesome about it.  And encouraged.

And I happened across this show on the way home the other evening.  So great....

Life!

Sick Day

Well, it appears I have succumbed to the constant germ-barraging. Here's to CoCo Wheats, finishing this traumatic book (if she doesn't get out of all that trouble soon, I'm going to pitch it. seriously. can't take much more), and getting some online work done. (Hel-lo, Apartment Therapy...)

As Far As Days Go...

...this one was not-so-great. Not a "bad day", as in a series of annoying things, one right after the other. I would say it was a "hard day". Therefore, I'm going to my happy place:
