Days on the calendar are flying by

It always feels like something significant should happen to mark the end of a month and the beginning of new month, but nothing ever does. January just slides into February and no one takes much notice.

This year February is beginning with a snow storm. The snow is good for the city, because we have a winter festival every year and it runs much more smoothly if they don't have to make their own snow for the event. But that has nothing to do with this post. 

Since it was snowing I cancelled my plans to go to the 'Building Incredible Babies' program. I didn't want to chance the weather getting worse, which it did, and I thought Chloe would still be napping when it started around 1, which she was. She actually napped for about 3.5 hours. I think this may be a record. It's nice in a way, but means she won't take a second nap, and will be ready for bed early tonight. 

Had I known she was going to take a marathon nap, I would've done something productive. What, I don't know, but instead I sat on my behind and did a puzzle. 

And that's how insignificant my transition from January to February was - just a day of baby napping and doing puzzles. But that way I see it, it's another winter month gone, and another month closer to spring a summer - my favorite time of year. 

Weather, Etsy, and other stuff

Today basically felt like spring. 

Which I suppose makes sense since spring starts in just a few days. I choose to ignore the weather info that's trying to tell me we're getting snow Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. 

Spring starts on Monday, okay? Your time is up, snow. 

I did not wear green today. In fact, for most of the day I hadn't even remembered it was St. Patrick's day. I was all for green drinks, green clothes, green baked goods and silly hats back in the day. 

Today... I rushed around like crazy and then was fooled anyway by a clock that hadn't been changed since the time went ahead. Boom.. screwed over again by Daylight Savings Time. 

Since by then I didn't have enough time to make my hair look all pretty, I took a quick walk to the post office to pick up my parcel that I missed the day before. It was my first Etsy purchase. I can't take a photo because my webcam and phone are being uncooperative, so here is the photo from the Etsy shop:

It's really cute and I love it.

Well worth taking a stroll pass our local homeless people. "Got any change.. giiiiirls." They couldn't have been much older than me. They looked pretty happy as they were bumming for change. Maybe it was the pot I could smell off them when I first walked by.

I spent part of today with my favorite three-year old. We went grocery shopping, made lunch, then he trashed the apartment with his lunch and left. To give him credit, he got out the broom and attempted to sweep up the crumbs on his own. It was a short, but fun visit. He blew me kisses the whole time he was walking downstairs to leave with his mom and dad. He is the sweetest little boy. It is long past time that me and him get out and take more pictures. Soon. 

You may not hear from me again for a few days, so have a great weekend!
