I have a friend who says, "February is the 8 weeks between January and March!" Really, this climate change weather is doing a number on all of us, not just the many of us who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. (For SAD I recommend a
full spectrum light.)
So I have always been grateful that today is my birthday. First one who guesses my age gets a free subscription to
almostfreeny! My mother's birthday is next week, my cousin Leslie's birthday is later this month and my cousin Mitch was born in a leap year, so we always joked that his birthday came only every 4 years. I also have a number of friends who were born this month - Jeff, Robert, Dixie, Jamie, etc. Even my new NYC Councilman Ben Kallos shares my birthday - Happy Birthday, Ben!
Being the obnoxiously positive person that I am, this gives me a reason to celebrate the month of February despite the inclement weather...and remember the peaceful beauty of new fallen snow...
Walking Cookie is (mostly) a joy in the snow. She bounces through the fluffy stuff and prefers to do her business on a soft padding of it! The only problem is the salt, which burns her paws.
Pet shop boots are expensive and Cookie won't wear them, so I have been experimenting w/baby booties bought @
Target $1.25 pair - BOGO half off - attached w/ hair elastics. So far, so good, but I'd love to hear your money saving salt solutions. Please sign up to follow this blog and tell me right here, O.K.?
