I can't believe it's the middle of February!  We got moved into the new house (sort off--there are still lots of boxes piled up everywhere, but at least they're all in one place).  The dogs looove their huge new yard, and I like having more shelves for books.  We also got through Valentine's Day (my sweetie usually works that day, so we go out to dinner on the 15th, and I hit the 50% off chocolate shelves at the grocery store).  Hope you are having a good almost-time-for-spring, too.  Here's a little reading for you...

 Happy almost-February!  I can't believe how fast this month has gone.  We've been moving into a new house, and that's taken over most of my life lately.  There are still books piled on the floor waiting for new shelves, and a few hiccups to deal with (yay, washing machine leak!).  But the dogs love their new yard, and I'm getting organized.

Here are a few fun things to read, if you also need some distraction....
