February is one of my favorite times of the year!

February is one of my favorite times of the year because of many things. Let's start by date. The 2nd is groundhogs day. Amazing- I am sure if groundhogs were pets, bob would have one. and then i would have one. we would dress it up in cute costumes and we would play groundhogs day with it all the time and maybe call it g-hog! The 4th- MY BIRTHDAY!!!! and this year it was a very special one. ( i love birthdays and celebrations and parties, so i love birthdays. especially mine!) I am 25! I'm old. It was a great time, we celebrated it at Sea World in San Diego and since it was super bowl sunday- we had the whole park to ourselves. My favorite part was feeding the dolphins! (our dolphins name was beeker. he was very cute.) The 12th... Lincoln's Birthday. One of my favorite presidents- everyone should celebrate this day! I know I did. Then the 14th. Valentines Day. Some people think this holiday is just to help the economy and means absolutely nothing. those same people are the ones who always say things like "why should some stupid card company tell me when to celebrate my love for someone?" I hate these people. First of all, everyone loves chocolate and getting cards. I send them not only to my boyfriend, but my parents and friends too! I mean, I love all of them. Getting mail is amazing. I personally know that sending a letter takes a lot of time, you have to find the perfect card, buy it, write a cute message, address it, buy a stamp (this step alone has cause me to have many a letter years later that a person never received), and finally take it to the post office. So when you open your mail box, it's a great, special feeling. anyway, back to why i hate those valentines day haters- everyone gets busy. even your loved ones. so why not have a day, when everyone in the world knows to share your feelings, take some time off and just relax- with wine and your loved one. love it! The 23rd- 26th... ski weekend! yay! this will be the second year we have gone skiing and played in snow at mammoth mountain in northern california. and this time bob and chris are going- so it's sure to be a great time. Oh, also add almost every award show- which all happen in February. I'm so excited the Oscars are happening. I was pretty upset when the Golden Globes got cancelled. looking forward to all the dresses.
