Happy Hump Day: February ain’t got nothing on me

Welcome back, Nerds. I actually heard Jonathan Bennett’s voice when I said that and if you can name the movie I will send you a virtual high five for being awesome. Feel free to put your guess in the comments, “Welcome back, nerd.”

Anyway, it’s time for your Wednesday link-fest. I love it, you love it. Or at least pretend to. It’s ok, I can’t tell the difference. There is something about February that is just funky. Funky in feeling, funky weather, just funky. I feel like everyone falls into the February Funk because it’s that point in the winter where you are so over it, but there really is no light at the end of that tunnel. And if you live in Cleveland, you know that the light most people see at the end of March doesn’t light up our lives till April. Sigh.

I was scrolling facebook the other day (and every day) when I should have been getting ready for bed and saw a lot of “funky” posts on my news feed. A lot of “FML’s” and “I’m so over people/my job/the snow/mini back packs,” whatever, and I want to get you going again.

So come on, lets rejuvenate for February and show that groundhog that you don’t give a blank if he saw his shadow or not. Go back into your hole, rodent. I got this.

• TUT Notes from the Universe. I get a note every Tuesday and Thursday. You can get them every day if you want. My note today:

“You’re going to miss the slow times and quiet days, Julie. Your anonymity, stealth, and small circle of friends. Plodding along at your own pace, working in spurts, and wondering where your next break will come from. Even your uncertainties, doubts, and fears will be missed.

It just works like that once massive dreams start coming true.

You’ll manage just fine,
The Universe”
