6. Spring is on its way…
If you live in those snow covered cities you know that March 20th is the first day of spring. And if you have experienced two or more feet of snow this year than you are already thinking about showing off your legs in that cute Spring dress you have waiting in your closet. Spring is about color, sunshine, laughter, happiness, and new beginnings. And with spring around the corner it only means that summer isn’t too far off. What will Spring bring for you? This Spring I’ll be trying on wedding dresses for my Spring of 2010 ceremony.

7. President’s Day…
We celebrate two great American Presidents on February 16th, our first George Washington and our 16th Abraham Lincoln. Both Presidents did great things for America and helped us become who we are today. And because of such a wonderful holiday we receive wonderful sales at department stores everywhere! Will you celebrate President’s Day by doing something for your community or by shopping?

8. Black History Month…
With Barack Obama as our 44th President making new history for America, Black History Month means so much more this year. This month we remember those like Harriet Tubman who helped slaves find their way to freedom, Jackie Robinson who didn’t let the all white baseball teams stand in his way, Rosa Parks who wouldn’t give up her seat on the bus, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who had a dream for us all. What black historian do you remember this month? I think in the future everyone will be remembering Oprah and how she was more than just a talk show host.

9. The Oscars are on ABC…
And the fabulous dresses are on the red carpet. Tune in on February 22nd at 8pm to see if Brad Pitt walks away with best leading actor for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button or if Kate Winslet wins for best leading actress for The Reader. Saucy Aussie Hugh Jackman will be hosting this year’s award ceremony and will hopefully show us all what The Boy from Oz can really do. Do you think SlumDog Millionaire will win for Best Picture? I’m hoping to see Wall-E win for best Animated Movie!

10. Leap Day…
Although it’s not on the calendar this year…many leap babies got to celebrate their official birthdays last year on February 29th. A leap day or a leap year is needed to keep our calendar in time with respect of the rotation the earth has around the sun. Most leap years occur every four years, so a child who turned eight in common years would have only been four last year on leap day. Were you or anyone you know born on a leap day or in a leap year? My best friend’s daughter was born last year on the 29th of February and this year we will be celebrating her birthday on the 28th! Happy Birthday!
What are your favorite things about February?
I was SO waiting for He Is Just Not That into You movie… With such a great cast, it just had to be extraordinary!!!
To my huge disappointment, it was very mediocre… at times even boring. I wonder if there is another great romantic comedy to look for?
Hey Olga,
Was it really that bad? From the commericals it looked ok…but not great. I like the cast…Drew Barrymore is one of my fav actresses!
