An Eagles View: Skipping February

Skipping February

>> Friday, January 28, 2011

My least favorite month of the year is February {Closely followed by the month of August. If I had to pick between the two, February would lose. Everytime.}

I have my reasons.

Some of those reasons include {but are not limited to} my loathing of:

Conversational hearts. They taste like chalk.

The concept of cupid. I mean, really, who sees a chubby toddler yielding a weapon and thinks "awww..I'm in love"? Not me.

My husband tends to agree with my distaste for the month. Whether that be by persuasion, situation, or a formulated opinion, I know not. I care not.

What I do know is that he agreed to just pretend like February doesn't exist this year. Holiday and all.

So if you drive by my house and my St. Patricks day decorations are out, and wonder why....it's not because I've lost my mind. It's because we decided to skip the month of February, and you maybe just didn't get the memo.

Bonnie the Boss , 28 January, 2011 15:26: I agree all conversation hearts taste like chalk!!
Unknown , 28 January, 2011 16:26: As long as your boycott of February does not include boycotting of those persons born in February, I will not complain. (being one of those persons unfortunate enough to be born in February)
:0)
Stephanie , 28 January, 2011 16:51: Oh I don't mind it so much. I buy myuslef a few VDay gifts and the month seems a little better!
Cassie , 29 January, 2011 02:02: You are so funny. I like those chalky hearts! Now all that chocolate, I don't like!! Patrick loves his chocolate though, so I dutifully go out the day AFTER Valentines Day to get it half priced. He's like a chocolate junkie so I hide it all over the house and he seeks it out & usually finds it all...but that slows him down having to hunt for it. hehe. Have a good weekend girl! xx
Karen , 29 January, 2011 05:34: Did you ever read the book "Skipping Christmas"? When you see what happens, you might think twice about skipping February.
Tammy , 30 January, 2011 00:32: I totally understand. I am starting to feel that way about most holidays. Buy if we skipped those months, there would only be like 3 months on the calendar.
Missy , 31 January, 2011 18:33: Feb is not a favorite of mine either!
Anonymous , 02 February, 2011 20:37: Dude... I love the conversation hearts. I'm 31 and my mom still buys
me a giant bag every year.
Randi Troxell , 03 February, 2011 09:25: yep! those hearts really are nasty!!!
Erin , 03 February, 2011 13:49: It's so cold here today. I definitely want warmer weather.
Maybe you should make sugar cookies with sayings on them like in the picture!
Jessica G. , 07 February, 2011 23:05: Skipping February sounds like an awesome name for a YA romance novel.

I just like to make heart-shaped food, that that also bee saturated in semi-cancer-causing red dye.
Cranberryfries , 08 February, 2011 21:10: I like February because they sell pink and red candy. Like starbursts and laffy taffy. No more wading through the other kinds I dont like.
Stephanie , 13 February, 2011 17:35: Oh I skip those crappy hearts and go for the chocolate! I get your need to sip the month though....March with the promise of spring, so much better!

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.
