  • Lauren @ Eater not a runner: That the days are getting longer, it finally isn’t pitch-black when I get out of work anymore!29 weeks ago

  • Sarah F: Ravelry’s Ravelympics begin the weekend- and all the knitting I will accomplish watching figure-skating!29 weeks ago

  • Jane: Going on a trip with my mom next week and staying at a fancy hotel!29 weeks ago

  • Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday: the olympics!29 weeks ago

  • Suzy: Going to Hilton Head in two weeks! (The two-day drive I am not so jazzed about, however.)29 weeks ago

  • Rebecca: I’d like to echo Lauren’s comment about the days getting longer, and I’m definitely psyched about the Olympics too! I’m also excited it’s February because in a few weeks it’s March, which means springtime isn’t long after, which means we’re getting towards summer. (Hey, I take my ups where I can find them, haha.) Ultimately, I view February as a transition month that gets me closer to warm weather. :) 29 weeks ago

  • Crystal: My beloved Saints finally rewarding all those years of frustrating fandom! The Olympics. My new Kindle (when I can pry it away from my husband!) And finding blogs that speak to all varied and divergent aspects of my personality. Thanks Sarah!29 weeks ago

  • Erin: My birthday tomorrow!!! :) 29 weeks ago

  • Christine H.: The Olympics, of course! Also, I’m going with a girlfriend to the ballet this Saturday—I needed something to look forward to in order to get through this horrid week! Other than that, I have a stack of library books to finish and another dozen or so on hold waiting for me to take them home.29 weeks ago

  • Lindsay M.: “Exuberance” was one of the most fun books I’ve read! I had the pleasure of meeting K. Redfield-Jamison when she came to my university a few years back to talk about “An Unquiet Mind.” She is such an interesting person and I appreciate her articulation on the simultaneous joys and distractions of having a slightly different cerebral chemical compostion!29 weeks ago

  • KBG in DC: Being stranded during the Snowpacolypse - in California!29 weeks ago

  • evon tameca: I’m happy about Valentines Day being just around the corner, with a lovely champagne brunch to add to the festivities, for a beau that’s sweet enough to have me drive his truck to work in this terrible snow, for the prospect of being snowed in with a pot of spaghetti and the new Harry Potter movie, and for the new book I’m reading.29 weeks ago

  • Anna: Coming home to a warm apartment and snuggling with the cat! And tea and good books.

    May I ask how/where you found your bookclub? I’m also a NYCer, and I’ve been looking for one for a while.29 weeks ago

  • rachael: What a great book! I love it when people put more emphasis on positive things. I will read it.29 weeks ago

  • Michelle: Making valentines with my kindergarten class, a week’s vacation, a stack of new books, “winter” weather in southern Cali, some DIY projects around the apartment that I have a good feeling about, an incredible pair of hanging lamps found on Ebay that are on their way…and my love to keep me warm.29 weeks ago

  • Sara Rose: -Knitting my very first baby blanket!
    -Getting a job!
    -My Snuggie
    -Hand made Valentines
    -VALENTINE’S DAY!
    -Making carbonara and tiramisu (HELLLLLOOOO GLUTTINOUS) for Vday.
    -That Eva made me paint my toe nails alternating shades of pink and red.
    -Doing origami with Nolan as “couple time”.
    -The huge yarn sale I stumbled into yesterday at Michaels and came out with seriously 25 skeins. Nolan’s eyes bugged out.
    -The fact that when my dear friend Tim heard I got the writing job, he bought me my very FIRST bottle of Veuve Clicquot!29 weeks ago

  • james: I have that same cookbook! so many fond memories for cooking from it for christmas dinners (the porkloin and braised red cabbage)29 weeks ago

  • I’ve never actually cooked recipes from that cookbook (except those open-faced sandwiches), but I love the writing in it and the way the describe the food culture of scandinavia. That cover, though — it’s a doozy!29 weeks ago
