And I just love your ratings chart - I've never seen that before!
February has been a really bad month for me too, I've just been really stressed and I have so much homework (that darn math teacher of mine). Hopefully your march reading, and mine, will be better!
Amelia, thanks! :)
Julie, ditto on that! I'm changing my beliefs. :)
Morgan, I guess a lot of us had a bad February!
Helen, would love to know how you find The Help!
Kristen, I agree. Wonder if it has something to do with just being 28 days! :-/
