So I must look like an "Emily" because I get mistakenly called Emily ALL the time. (There even is a secretary at work that always calls me Emily but I don't correct her, in fact I even respond to it so that she's not embarrassed.) But I truly believe it is a curse-thingy. It all started with AFY in July of 2005... (dramatic-memory-fog-effect-fade)
The summer before my senior year of high school one of my friends, Amy, and I. (Now don't get confused, my name is Amy too but when I write out A-m-y I'm referring to my friend Amy.) (Now that we have that cleared up...) Well Amy and I decided instead of doing EFY that summer, we would do AFY (Adventures for Youth); basically you start the day with a devotional and a scripture readying but then we were off to a hike or river rafting or rock climbing, etc. Well at this AFY Amy and I were one of the older ones; in our group there were these two twins that you could kind of guess they narrowly made the age cut off line (they were so sweetly-inoccent). Well for some reason they idolized Amy and I and followed us around like little puppy dogs all week. WELL for some reason the twins thought my name was Emily (They always called Amy, Amy) and it drove me crazy I'd always reply, "It's AMY!" and they would giggle and say, "Oh yeah!" (Seriously! How hard could it be... two girls... same name) Hahaha well, ever since that one week at BYU-I and have been cursed with someone everywhere I go mistaking me as an Emily but now it makes me chuckle and sometimes I correct these people and sometimes I don't.

Illegal vs legal
Today at work, while I ate lunch at my desk, I opened Twitter on my phone. One tweet from KSL said, "House narrowly passes bill 39-35 making it illegal to smoke in cars with kids." Well even though I read this, my brain processed "legal."
I was like, "WHAT?! Really?! Who are these people?!" And then I was like, "I'll tell you who these people are. These people are the ones who stole candy from you in elementary and thought they were so haha funny. These people are the people who park in handicapped parking because even though they've recovered from their injury, they're temporary handicapped pass hasn't expired yet. These people are the type of people who bring a 6 pack to an AA Meeting and don't even consider the stupidity of the act." And then I looked back at the tweet thinking, "They REALLY made that legal, was that necessary?!" And then I read it slowly, (how sad is that), and I saw ILLEGAL! Phew! We're good!
But really... it narrowly passed... wow.

Why February is Only 28 Days....
Logistically... I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the lunarness of the sun/moon/planets/calendar
Even though it's the shortest month of the year is seems to drag on forever (Sandlot moment!: FOR-EV-ER)
This February it didn't snow until the end of the month... nope; it was a majority of cold weather, dark dreary days and no white fluffy snow, just dead/black surroundings
February holds the holiday of valentines which usually means decorating in pink and red; red is cool... I hate pink.
Apparently Julius Caesar was selfish in naming a month after himself and making it the longest... read about somebody's theory at: Askville.com

I don't know what it is but even as an adult February is hard to spell! So, might as well only have to spell it out for 28 days instead of the usual full 31 :)
