10 Things to Love about February ...

If you or someone you know didn’t watch NBC on Sunday February 1st, than you might not know that The Pittsburgh Steelers have beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-23 to win Super Bowl XLIII! Jennifer Hudson stepped out for her first performance since the tragic death of her family members and sung her heart out to the National Anthem. And before Hudson, Faith Hill walked onto the Tampa Bay turf to sing "America the Beautiful". The Half Time Show made all the Jersey natives proud of their Boss Bruce Springsteen who hit every note of "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", "Born to Run.", "Glory Days", and his newest "Working on a Dream". If the Steelers aren’t your favorite football team than who are you hoping wins next year’s Super Bowl?

Monday night on February 2nd our favorite good guys Peter Petrelli, Hiro Nakamura, Ando Masahashi, Matt Parkman, Mohinder Suresh and good girls **Claire Bennet, Daphne Millbrook, and Niki Sanders were back on ,NBC,fighting to save the world.

The movie starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell is a love for some of us as well. However, I’m talking about the day Punxsutawney Phil comes out to forecast how the rest of our winter from February 2nd until March 20th will be. If Philsees his shadow that means six more weeks of heavy winter coats and hot coffee or tea. However, if he doesn’t see his shadow he’s letting us know that it’s time to put on those cute Spring tops! This year little Phil did see his shadow, which means more snow could be on it's way. How will that affect the rest of your winter?

For all those couples out there just make sure your significant other knows all the reasons why you are lucky to have them in your life. St. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about the money spent on a fancy dinner or a dozen roses. What will you be doing on February 14th?

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.

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!
