Finally Its The February To Do List

Yeah. late again. I know I know. But, it's ready to roll so lets get right to it. Shall we? Ok then. As well all know one of the most celebrated days of the year is in February. A day when many look to the future as they wait for those magical words we all love to hear... Those words that can change our mood and our outlook as fast as they are spoken. I am of course talking about Groundhog Day. Feb 2nd we will once again to our furry forecasters for their yearly prediction. Of course, none bigger than the man himself Punxsutawney Phil!
Punxsutawney Phil.com Will Phil or wont Phil see his shadow this year? :Confused: Only Phil know for sure.

Moving On.... Of Course Feb 14th is a HUGE day for many as another annual event will be celebrated by millions worldwide. That is of course the Day OF The Daytona 500! :flagwaver:

Lots more holidays, sports, and lots of other good stuff to come (inluding the flavor of the month)

:cool:

Ok, we will skip ahead a little bit and get right into the flavor of the month. Now since this is the month in which we celebrate valentines day and it's chocolate month it seems we have an easy solution and selection. But... Not so fast. You know that's not how we roll in here. We must dig deeper and look for the perfect (or at least sort of kind of relatively ok) choice for the month. Sure, we can incorporate chocolate into it but we need to take care of those who can't do the chocolate thing or arent into chocolate. Of course, since it's cherries month as well we could go with chocolate and cherry or even cherry and chocolate or chocolate covered cherries or even chocolate covered in cherries .... Wait a minute. Chocolate covered in cherries ? :doh: :Confused: You really dont see 'em like that much. Unless, of course, you dont eat your cherry first when having a sundae. You know when you let it sink down in there so that it's all covered in the melted ice cream (and or frozen yogurt) making it the last tasty spoonful of! WAIT A MINUTE! THAT'S IT! SUNDAES! :Clap::2thumbsup::laffingassoff: Chocolate, cherries and of course a sweet treat to share (on valentines day or any other day) Yes folks we have a winner. And it doesnt have to be chocolate. It can be hot fudge or caramel or strawberry or snozzberry or pineapple or even in nanner split form. Sundaes are the flavor of the month for Feb. Of course all chips chunks dips dunks swirls twirls... You know the rest are in as well. Get your sunday on the feb (and, valentines day even falls on a sunday this year!
