For many years (before kids) that meant my summer vacation was over and I had to go back to school right after Labor Day. My least fav month, though, is February. The sun never shines in Mich. in Feb. I mean never. Hubs' b'day makes up for it. Had to laugh at your liking Nov 23. That's my wedding anniversary. I kind of like that day, too. :)Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-41705272052135854602013-08-19T22:04:17.752-04:002013-08-19T22:04:17.752-04:00My least favorite month is June, as I'm trying...My least favorite month is June, as I'm trying to finish up everything before my kids are off school for the summer. And then at the end of June, when they're done school, my entire schedule changes. I'm looking forward to next month. :)<br /><br />All the best with your deadline at the end of the month!

Although I do love my summers (and having the summers off from my job is only part of the reason) I'd have to say my all-time favorite month is October. I love the creepiness and community-friendliness of Halloween. Plus, my wedding anniversary is October 16--this is year number 24. So, October is definitely a great month for marriage. Great post, Alicia! P.S. I was on my way to school in the second grade, in the backseat of my step-mother's big yellow Buick when the radio d.j. announced Elvis had passed. :'(Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180941717770336949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-71115448993364674442013-08-19T17:16:32.218-04:002013-08-19T17:16:32.218-04:00You can be the president of the I Hate August club...You can be the president of the I Hate August club.
