Are we Done Yet?
I am glad that today is February 28th. This would normally be the end of the month but this year we have a leap year. I would usually consider an extra day off or of vacation to be a great thing but this is not such a great thing. It just means one more day until payday on Friday. Thankfully we will finally have money to go grocery shopping with. We are writing out our shopping list even as we speak. There are some things that we are completely out of such as sugar and margarine. I wish that we could afford to buy butter but that is too costly for my budget. I use Splenda in my coffee due to my diabetes but right now I only have enough for 2 cups of coffee, then I have to drink it black. Not happening. Sorry that this is a post with a negative tone but I am just telling the truth and we all know that life is not always a positive experience, so thanks for hearing me out I really appreciate it.

It's finally February!
I’m so glad its February
Hello and welcome once again to the wonderful month of February. The second month takes its name from the Latin word Februa which was a purification festival in Ancient Rome. This month celebrates many holidays including Groundhog Day; The Day the Music Died, when Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper died in 1959; Valentines Day; Abraham Lincoln’s Birthday; Presidents Day; George Washington’s Birthday and the rarest of all the holidays, Leap Day.
February as a month also concerns itself with American Heart Health; An Affair to Remember; Black History; Canned Food; Creative Romance; Great American Pies; Cherries; Children’s Dental Health; Grapefruits, and Weddings. Who knew that the shortest month of the year contained so many holidays and concerns? Mostly I thought about Groundhog Day and Valentines Day. But after you have endured the long, cold months of winter you are concerned with whether or not the winter is going to last another 6 weeks. Plus my favorite color is red so any holiday that features it and has such a happy tone to it can easily win me over. And the chance that I may be the fortunate receiver of a beautiful bouquet of flowers is a plus, especially if they are red roses.
