Happy February 1!

**Apparently my new posts need not have rhyme nor reason - just a heads up**

How sad is it that I am elated to be done with January? I'm so happy that we are finally into February, even though I know that we are still at least another month and a half away from semi-warm weather. But that's OK, 'cause every little bit helps. I am sure I have been pretty clear about the fact that I am so not a cold weather person, so forgive me for being neurotic about it, but you were warned!

And here's the thing: I am so hungry right now! Not related to the weather, but it sure adds to my general craziness. Somehow I got some darn stomach bug on Monday and have not eaten much this week. Yep, all week. Now those of you who know me, know that I can't usually make it three hours without eating something, so this has been a rough week. I am weak and tired, but luckily, I am starting to feel better. I keep peeking around the kitchen for something that I can have and the funniest song keeps going through my head. It's from a Disney movie I saw as a kid, called "Mickey and the Beanstock" and there is a scene where they are all famished and Goofy starts singing about food; there is a line that goes something like "Pancakes piled up 'till they reach the sky..." But the line that keeps running through my head is "I wanna eat and eat and eat and eat and eat until I die!" My usual mantra anyway, but truly applicable today!
