"F" is for February.

A list of 10 things I can't do in February
(in Chicago- since I know some of you will sarcastically remark that you can do these things elsewhere, but that doesn't matter to me since I am STUCK in CHICAGO):

1. Sit in the grass.
2. Roll in the grass.
3. Walk down the street in shorts.
4. Fall on the sidewalk and land on dry ground.
5. Eat ice cream outside on a park bench
6. Wear sunglasses (come on, it's ridiculous no matter how sunny it is).
7. Stand outside pondering things, or sit outside pondering things.
8. Ride my bicycle through the sludge
9. Pick flowers
10. Listen to the tweeting of little birdies.

On the flip side...

A List of 10 things I CAN do in February, which I could otherwise not DO:

1. Wear ridiculous hats, even indoors.
2. Jump over puddles of water and ice like a three year old.
3. Threaten people with snowballs.
4. Justify the total absence of all exercise.
5. Hitch a ride everywhere by complaining that I have "no car" and giving a puppy face.
6. Get snow days off from work! WOO HOO!
7. Warm my cold-as-a-dead-man's hands on people's necks (BWAHAHAHAHA!)
8. Sleep cozied up in my down comforter.
9. Justify the use of a Happy light.
10. Stop shaving. I mean, really STOP.

HAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry t.m.i.

Anyway- I'm not so bummed, but I am ready for March. Good thing February is known to be the shortest (and longest) month of the year.
