I don’t know about you, but I am so excited that January is over and February is here. In fact, I am practically giddy. There are some fantastic bits about February that I am absolutely looking forward to. Would you like “The List”? Ok, here it goes:
-
February 2: Happy Groundhog Day -how will you celebrate?
-
February 3: Happy Super Bowl Sunday -who brought chips and salsa?
-
February 5: Happy Mardi Gras!
-
February 7: Happy Chinese New Year -any excuse to eat fortune cookies and Kung Pao Chicken is good enough for me.
-
February 7-10: Going on Vacation! – Handsome V and I are going on a road-trip. Itinerary includes Las Vegas & Phoenix. So! Excited!
-
February 12: Happy Birthday Abe Lincoln
-
February 13: Happy Birthday heidikins
-
February 14: Happy Heart Day
-
February 18: Happy Birthday to all the Dead Presidents -do YOU have the day off?
-
February 22: Happy Birthday George Washington
-
Does anyone else think there are a LOT of holidays in February?
-
February 29: Happy Leap Year
February has more reasons to party than November and December combined! Can you see why I’m excited for February? Barring natural disaster or some kind of terrorist attack on my shoe closet, there is really no other option but for February to go down in history as the Best! Month! Ever!
And, if we’re being completely honest, I may or may not be doing a little Happy Dance at my desk at random intervals throughout the morning.

Don’t forget my birthday on the 19th!
Comment by Jen 2008 February 1 @ 10:56 amI DO have the day off and I can’t wait for it! Yay February!
Comment by Molly 2008 February 1 @ 10:59 amI was wondering – Which pair of all of your shoes are your favorite? What brand are they and why are they your favorites?
Comment by Leslie 2008 February 1 @ 12:30 pm(That was totally off topic, but I just had to ask since I read the post that mentions how many pairs of shoes you have!)
Woah. I never even realized how many holidays there were!! Yeah!
Happy Birthday in a couple weeks!!
Comment by Hannah 2008 February 1 @ 12:43 pmYeah Happy Groundhog Day! I’m going to celebrate it with my camera and hopefully get some decent pictures out of it:)
Comment by Pia 2008 February 1 @ 2:22 pmAnother blogger ElisabethWrites does a holiday countdown too. I love it when bloggers do this- it gets me excited for the whole month. (And gives me something to celebrate on Feb 14 other than Valentines Day- hello Ferris Wheel Day!)
Comment by brandy 2008 February 1 @ 2:53 pmI love February also, especially after January was such a tough month for so many people. And yes I get President’s Day off AND my best friend (and bridesmaid) will be here to visit. I am SO EXCITED.
Comment by Jess 2008 February 1 @ 3:00 pmI am definitely excited for February too, so many fun things going on! Woo!
Comment by katelin 2008 February 1 @ 3:25 pmMy birthday too! (I just won’t admit what day it is…)
Comment by Z 2008 February 1 @ 4:48 pmIt’s about time that it’s February! I’m totally going to a groundhog’s day party. We’ll watch the movie, of course, and probably make rice krispies in the shape of a groundhog.
Comment by Gretch-a-sketch 2008 February 1 @ 6:16 pmYeah, my daughter is super excited about Groundhog Day … which is today. Yay for Groundhogs! (I guess; I never knew GD was so exciting; certainly not as exciting as your birthday!)
I’m just glad that I can see to the end of winter.
Comment by Gwen 2008 February 2 @ 6:09 amI love February because I have many friends who have birthdays (and, hence, parties) this month! Also, I get to go to Chicago!! Also, a shorter month means my paycheck stretches farther!!
Down with January! Long Live February!
Comment by Laurel 2008 February 2 @ 3:42 pmWow – there’s a lot there that I know about but don’t really celebrate. New Zealand has a major national holiday coming up in a couple of weeks, though, which is always nice
Comment by Allie 2008 February 2 @ 5:48 pmMy gosh you guys get a lot of holidays. It’s totally not fair, I’ve moved to the wrong country!
Comment by alyndabear 2008 February 3 @ 8:54 amI brought chips and salsa for tonight!
hehe
Comment by janet 2008 February 3 @ 4:32 pmI’m liking this month better already! Even though we’re in the midst of ouer *thirteenth* snow fall since Thanksgiving, when we usually have flowers blooming by this time. Oh, and happy early birthday!
Comment by Caryn 2008 February 3 @ 5:12 pmBy the way, I was reading Grandpa’s writings last night where he talks about yours and your sista’s birthday! This was in 1989 or so. He talks about all he and Grandma had going on that night, and then swinging by your house to be there on your birthday! What sweet memories we all have of being visited by them!
I guess I never realized we share the same birth month, but it’s kinda obvious now!
Comment by Jen 2008 February 4 @ 11:33 amAww! Honestly, after last night’s Superbowl fiasco and my cold this morning, I needed a little dose of excitement to get me through the rest of this month. Many thanks
