I haven't posted anything yet in February... It's been a rough month and I've been very busy doing final edits on my novel as I prepare to send it out into the big bad world this week!
But as I looked at my blog and the archive running along the side, I suddenly felt very bad for February. I knew that if I didn't post something soon, February 2012 would slip into the darkness and be forgotten forever. So here's your pity post February. I don't really have anything to say, but I'm throwing you a bone so the other months won't ridicule you.
In case you haven't already heard, Ryan and I are booked for another year in Egypt. Ha ha, booked! That makes it sound like we have reservations for a table in Cairo. Which I guess is pretty much the case. We've decided that we can handle another year in the sandbox, maybe more if the revolution aftershocks stay quiet.
We also have our plans for spring break finalized. We're flying to Scotland and spending a week driving through the highlands with Matt. Ryan is about to wet himself over the prospect of seeing a live game with his favorite soccer team in Carlisle. I'm excited about all of it, the lochs, the pubs, the kilts (oh my!), and the beautiful greenery. One thing we've noticed whenever we leave Cairo, is that it feels so novel to go to a place with grass and trees. There's an audible sigh throughout the group whenever we step into a city with clean air and nature. Definitely one of the things I miss most.
Ok, February, that's it, you have your pound of flesh. I've bared a sliver of my soul to you. Now you can stand proud on the playground and not be ridiculed as the month that nobody loved.
