February: A love Affair

So, sorry I have been so MIA lately.
I flew home for a few weeks to California, which in itself is a distraction from blog land, but then the day we landed Sariah got sick. And has basically been sick for the whole first week we were here. Plus, we left CA when she was 11 months old. So, basically 6 months away and she remembers nobody- meaning lots of fussiness, me holding her, and not so much fun all around.

So, overall, I have been going to bed early (plus I got sick), and have been leaving blog land alone.
So, sorry. I am back.


Now, February. I know that this is a forgotten month. Other than the LOVE day, people don't care much.
BUT THEY SHOULD!
Oh, you should, you ALL should.
Because honestly, this month ROCKS and blows all your other months OUT OF THE CALENDAR!!!
I mean, look at a calendar. Is there ANY other month that has SO MANY holidays? Sure, half of them may be in other countries- but that is just because the WHOLE world realizes this months significance!

Ground Hogs day (and for those of us that live anywhere cold, this is IMPORTANT)
Valentines Day
Ash Wednesday (No, I am not catholic- but I was born on Ash Wednesday, and it holds importance because of this).
Numerous Presidents birthdays/Holidays
The occasional extra day
Shortest month of the year
and....
MY BIRTHDAY!!!

I mean, come on, this month rocks. Plus, in school (other than college) you basically had every Monday in February off due to some holiday. Plus because it is shorter (less is more, y'know), it goes by WAY fast, which is all fantastic for me, because my birthday is at the end of the month!

So, the way I see it, February is a win-win for everyone. (Clearly, I may be a little bit biased, and if your birthday does not fall in this month you may not agree. But still, you should).



So, you all should LOVE February.

Define me

If I could define myself in a word, it would probably be:

Gullible.

This picture really has nothing to do with me being gullible, actually. Just juvenile. 

Honestly. I would LIKE it to be spunky, or charming, endearing maybe, dedicated or affectionate.
But no. Truth be told, I am GULLIBLE.
And I don't mind people knowing. It seems to make it more of a challenge for us both- me to see if I can catch them, them to see if they can catch me.

Tonight as Christmas dinner, I think I fell for about 3 different jokes/lies/tales in a 30 min span.
I am just bad.

By the way, this is on my 18th birthday. We partied hard.

But, anyways. I have a reason for telling you my most-not-so-private-deepest-darkest-secret.
A couple weeks ago (like 1 1/2) google informed me that someone (while we were at church, not using my phone) tried to log onto my account but google had stopped them (Thank you google!). 
So, I had to make a new password.
WELL, my phone informed me that I needed to change my password on it as well. But you see, I have two emails coming into my phone- my personal one (The one that this blog is connected to, people know, websites I like and use, etc.) and a second 'family' account (that we use for places like Sams Club, PetsMart, etc.). Well, I was still getting emails to the family account- so I just assumed it was google recommending I change it on my phone. (Which really doesn't make sense- I mean, I had already changed my password, of course It would automatically kick me off on my phone and tell me to re-sign in. Stupid me).

So, a week or so passes, and I get sad. No one is leaving comments here on my blog. It is depressing, really. But o-well. Like goes on.
Then Christmas Eve, I am sending out emails, with a real computer. And I realize it says I have 150+ unread emails.
My thought: "Really? Just because I look at them on my phone, it doesn't register on the computer? That is stupid."
Then I looked at them. And noticed a blog comment left only 2 days before.
Then it all connected.
I really DID Need to re-sign in on my phone with my new password.
And I did.
And now the world is right again.



Until next time, when someone get's me again.
