february, barf...

we have entered my least favorite month of the year, february.  i wish i liked this month and maybe someday i will, but for now i loath february.  i was ranting about this last year commercialized love and i still feel the same way, but i don't think i'm as fired up about it this year.  unfortunately this month really reminds those of us in search of our forever love that we still haven't found it.  sigh.

there are tons of things to like about this month.  maybe if i focus on my top ten i will have a better attitude about february.

1.  flowers.  i love flowers, although i hate gardening.  i wish all the forced greenhouse flowers smelled as lovely as they do fresh from a garden.  however, they still look beautiful and that makes me giddy.

2.  pink.  this color is usually associated with february and i love pink.  more people should wear the color, it makes your skin look healthy.  my colors are blush and bashful  this is one of the best movie lines about the color pink.

3.  chocolate.  oh my goodness who doesn't love chocolate?  i like all chocolate.  in order from least to best; white, dark, milk.  sorry dark chocolate fans i really like milk chocolate.  i especially like milk chocolate with caramel.  heaven.

4.  lingerie.  i have a secret obsession with lingerie.  i guess it isn't so secret anymore.  anyway, there is something seductive, sexy and intriguing about lingerie.  let's face it, the lingerie out this month is over the top gorgeous. 

5.  couples.  for some reason i seem to notice more lovey dovey couples.  my first reaction is barf, but that is probably because i am jealous and want that for myself. 

6.  hearts.  i like the heart symbol, but not so much in jewelry.  i have contemplated getting a tattoo that would incorporate a heart.  i am kind of digging the white ink thing in an obscure place. 

so i really wanted to come up with ten things to love about february, but i can only think of six.  not sure how i failed at this task, except i just can't find that many things to love and possibly i am a little bitter.

valentine's day lands on a tuesday, my favorite day of the week.  i will be spending the day at school with my kids and maybe we will have heart shaped food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  after my cherubs retire for the evening i will attempt to incorporate the six things i love about february.
