March Blahs

Much to my delight looking up the word blah on Google brought me these definitions:
- nonsense, malaise and as an adjective - insipid, dull and uninteresting.

That pretty much sums up this month so far.  It's too late to enjoy winter and too early to enjoy spring.  We need a mid season term.

That mood led me to do this poster.  I need one on my bedroom wall as the first thing I see in the morning:

Cute Bird Saying Hi, Hello, Funny Animal print



and maybe one to take with me when I go out

Cute Bird Saying Smile, Funny Animal necklace

But I'm thinking what I really need to do is Motivate and Encourage myself with this one.

Count Your Blessings, Cute Bird with Silly Look mousepad

So I hope you are not suffering the March Blahs too!

    I think the March blahs hit me about Feb. 28th. LOL I know we'll both be snapping out of it soon, at least I hope so, since I hate this feeling.

    I certainly sympathise with feeling it's too early for winter to be over. Hardly noticed it here. Maybe I'll regret the disappointment if we suddenly hit a hard spell - but I'm sitting in front of an open window (no heating on) and it's pleasantly warm even though it's dark. Doesn't seem quite right for March!

    He is magnificent! I love the jaunty way he's holding his head and looks to be summing things up with close scrutiny. Brilliant!

    At least you're on your way to spring...we're on our way to autumn and I'm not too sure I'm ready :(
    Have a good week ;D

    We have lovely warm, sunny weather here and Wales are on course to win the Six Nations rugby so, just at the moment, I'm not suffering from the March Blahs too badly. I love your posters though.You get such wonderful expressions on your critters!

    Don't have the time to get bored. I stay real busy and can't believe how fast our months slip away.I used to start a lot of garden plants indoors to help keep it away.

    Count your blessings to me is a powerful word. Whenever I do not feel good it keeps me going. :)
