February Recap

My dearest February,
We used to be close you and I. I always loved your coldness and the fact that you held my birthday.  I even forgave you for having a fling with that horrid Valentine's Day. But, you just can't stop yourself from the doom and gloom. So, February, PEACE OUT MOTHERFUCKER.

Ahem.
I can't say I'm sad to see the end of this month.

 BUTBUTBUT I DID read some great books!
