The month so far and then some:

• Bartending for a room full of men who hunt is always fun. Strong drinks = big tips.
• Six 12-packs of beer for free = NICE!
• It really IS flattering to be told that you have nice "hind parts" by a man you don't really know.
• It's even nicer when the man who told you you have nice "hind parts" slips an extra $20 in the tip jar.
• Driving alone - at night - through rural areas is quite nerve wracking.
• Seeing family you don't see too often makes you miss them even more.
• Fondue really is fun! But, you have to pace yourself or you'll never make it to the chocolate course.
• Who knew that drinking three bottles of wine would get you a FREE fourth bottle?
• Waking up at the crack of dawn on the weekend is just plain wrong.
• The kids really, really, REALLY like strawberries & blueberries.
• Surprises really aren't that bad...especially when they are in the form of a free vacation.
• Being busy at work is a good thing -- and it makes the week go by fast.
• Apparently this blog pisses some people off -- get over it.
• Being petty isn't petty if it's being petty for the right petty reasons.
• Thinking about formal dresses brings back flashbacks of prom in high school -- it's unnecessary stress.
• Husbands really don't pay attention all that well...sometimes.
• Rushing a tux when it doesn't need to be rushed - DOH!
• Trips to Wal-Mart need to not be so frequent.
• I love my "hippie bags."
• It really sucks to cancel a planned vacation only to find out that the airfare is cheap. STUPID cheap.
• My ends aren't split...they're just really dry (like everything else on my body).
• Chicken Teriyaki three times in one week. Really? Yes.
• Burning natural gas doesn't smell the same as leaking natural gas. So my sniffer is a bit off, sue me.
• I'm good at rolling my eyes.
• Spa appointments don't happen often enough.
• Fights between friends often result in a better friendship.
• My boss is cooler than yours -- she blogs. So there!
• These dogs are barking -- that goodness for that above mentioned spa appointment.
• Seven years of marital bliss...as soon as the 23rd rolls around.
• The possibility of snowing on a snowless snow day make-up day makes me giggle.

It's hard to believe we're nearly halfway through with February. Where does the time go?
