I've been looking forward to Febraury (despite it being my birthday month), and now that it is almost here I am really excited! Why, you ask? Well for one thing, the past couple of weeks have been craptacular, and I really want the month of January to be over. Second, February is the month that I will get to hear Michael Cart speak (a huge YA advocate), something I have wanted to do since I was wee baby librarian. In addition to hearing Michael Cart, I am also going to get to meet Jennifer Crusie at the end of February.

And if my excitement about the month of February wasn't enough, I get a call last night from my friend Michelle inviting me to go see Oprah with her on February 18 (my birthday)! I know that the show topic will be something horrible like "You and Your Vagina," but I'm still pretty excited about going.
