oh, february

then:

and now:

 

 

then:

and now:

 

sigh.

 

things i am going to do to survive enjoy this, my  least favorite of all months:

-take my vitamin d drops

-read lots of louise erdrich

-immerse myself in commission spinning

-delve into some fun baby knitting for some new little friends who are on the way. (i am in love with this sweater, and i think that every tiny person i know needs one of these!)

-stream the uk version of skins on netflix (i'm on season 2 and shamelessly obsessed!) and the bbc adaptation of zadie smith's white teeth on hulu

-dream about this year's garden to be (i'm loving pinterest for this type of scheming/planning/dreaming/admiring!)

-and, in all honesty, there will be a few beers on this month's menu, and probably my fair share of butter and sugar too.  that's just how february goes.
