Febluary

February, it's like that "in-between haircut" month. The anxiously waiting to hear news month. It must be the official SADD diagnosis month, especially in the Ohio Valley. Those continuous dark and gray days can certainly give this girl the blues sometimes!

Then again, if you work in an office devoid of windows as I do, walking out at the end of the workday when the sun IS shining is almost painful. You want to make sure your shades are in the ready position when that door opens. Of course, once you acclimate yourself to those rare glimpses of sunlight, you feel like Julie Andrews dancing across that breathtaking mountain top singing in The Sound of Music. Ahhhhh I get all excited just thinking about it!

So, until I manage to carve out a window or convince my boss to relocate, I'll just keep dreaming of sunny days!
