Some fun facts about February:

2. In Old English, February was called Solmonath (Mud month) or Kale-monath (Kale or cabbage month). 
3. February frequently occurs in lists of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language.
4. The Americans have trouble with the word February too – last year, a press release from the White House consistently spelt it as Feburary. 
5. Much Ado About Nothing is the only Shakespeare play that mentions February. 
6. Before Julius Caesar’s calendar reform of 45BC, February was the only month with an even number of days. All the rest had 29 or 31.

8. In the USA, the largest American sporting event is held in February, the Super Bowl.

This is so new to me.  I am in day #4 being smoke free.  Had a weak moment, got in my car and drove to the edge of my town.  Felt so guilty for being so stupid, I turned arounds and went home.  I will hold your hand and not let go today.
