happy february. that annoying month that just insists on being different. has to have its own number of days, different than all of the other months. on top of that, that number isn't even a constant, as it fluctuates every four years. usually. sometimes more often. then it's tough to spell. no may, june, april here. has this extra phantom letter lurking about to confuse grade school kids (and spelling challenged adults, who often avoid spelling it by simply using 'feb' or '2'). then there's that groundhog thing tomorrow. so february not only screws up our calendar, our spelling, but our seasons, too. the east coast already had spring, though. will they get another? or a belated winter? sheesh! happy february, anyways.

actually, i wanted to post so i kick that 'pink lady' illustration to the archieves. it's messing up my formatting. :)
