I’m tired of snow. Have I mentioned that lately? I keep threatening not to come out of the house until April. Luckily David deals with all the shoveling and what-not, so I guess I shouldn’t complain too loudly.

February was a pretty quiet month at our house, nothing major going on. We had David’s folks and brother over to watch the Super Bowl and we watched the Olympics a fair amount. Amber missed a bunch of days because of the snow, but she’s definitely not complaining.

I read or listened to 11 books, 3 short stories and 2 fairy tales, even though my comments aren’t up yet for all of them.

My favorite this month was definitely The Help. It really is a wonderful book.

I’ve started participating in a couple of weekly events, Short Story Monday and Fairy Tale Friday. I’m really enjoying both of them. I’ve never been much of a short story reader, but it’s amazing how much good writers can pack into just a few pages, and I’m learning bits about fairy tales that I’ve either forgotten or never knew.

I also received several book in February that I haven’t gotten a chance to read yet.
