February is like a box of chocolate covered cockroaches.

To me the month of February is like an upset stomach that pepto won't fix. The difference between a stomach ache and February is that February lasts 28 days long. I am certain that whoever decided how many days would be in a month, the committee all agreed on making February the shortest month in hopes to help decrease the torture that this second month of the year brings upon people. Even though this is the shortest month of the year it might as well be 128 days long because that is how long this month feels to me. Let me break the months down for you in my opinion.

January: A new year yay! We made it through another year and the new year always means fresh starts and new beginnings. And I am enjoying all the snow to play in. Snowboarding, snow shoeing, skate skiing and so forth.

February: Ok I am sick of my new years resolusions, or I haven't even started any of my new years resolutions, it's the 4th month of winter and I am getting tired of the cold. February also holds the worst holiday of the year, Valentine's Day. The day you can show your "significant other" how much they mean to you by buying them roses and chocolate and taking them out to an expensive dinner. I don't know who decided there needed to be a day especically for telling the person you are into how much they mean to you, but I find it completely asinine. That person should be told and treated that way more than just once a year and I don't find the need for the day of love. Now, I don't know if I have any rights to actually say this because I have never really had a Valentine and who knows, maybe that is why I am so bitter.

March: Hooray we made it through February! And I can smell and feel spring in the air. It is practically as if I had been born again.

April: The air is warm and the trees and flowers are starting to bud. I can see life again!

May: I just wanna get myself outside all day erryday. Feel the warm sun on my face! May is the whipped topping on top of a dessert of summer.

June-August: Summa summa summa tiiimeee! Enough said.

September-November: My personal favorite time of the year, fall. Always a perfect ending to a blissful summer.

December: Christmas and family. Thank the Lord for Christmas in December because if it didn't have presents then December would come in a close second to February.

The reasons stated above are not the only reasons I hate February. Besides me always having a hard time remembering how to spell the month I also am at whits end of winter. I am ready for sunny days and warm weather. Winter is my second favorite month of the year so I know you are wondering why I wouldn't be taking in each day as if it were the last of the season, but I am not. And in Park City there are still the best months of snow to come, March and April. I am tired of running in a gym on a treadmill and want to run outside where I don't have to worry about snow packed sidewalks and trails.
      That being said, I had an amazing day yesterday at The Canyons resort with one of my bests. We went snowboarding in fresh powder and it did improve my seasonal blues. Thank goodness February is more than half over and I have some spring pow pow and a warm Salt Lake to look forward to.
