**Giggles!**

There's a few reasons why February is my favorite month of the year and with this year being the Year of the Tiger, it just makes it extra special! Putting aside Valentine's Day for a moment, February 18th marks my Kaitlynn's birthday and, being two years older than I, that would have made her 56 years old! Gawd!

Since rescuing the powerful Caitlynn from the shackles of slavery on The Flip Side, Israfel Vincent has made sure that she knows that she is thoroughly loved. So, marking her birthday on the 18th, which was something initially lost on the changeling, the copper topped heroine made sure to celebrate the obvious Valentine's Day, but also the newly christened day for her girlfriend with all the love she could deliver! That meant Caitlynn's favorite breakfast of lots and lots of pancakes in a variety of shapes and flavors ... though Israfel would not make the triple anchovy, jalepino, and pineapple favorited ones, but the copper top would top a few of the pancakes with pineapple while she would enjoy pecan flavored ones herself. The before flavor would be done for pizza and Israfel would be thoroughly tortured by Cait's kisses afterward! And dinner ... ohmygawd! Prime rib with a baked potato and a steamed heaping of broccoli with lots of butter and cheese, Texas Toast, a bottle of Gentleman Jack, and an expensive cigar! Oh yes! You read that right ... there was nothing that both Kait and Cait loved more than those cigars, but to be fair to my ladies, she was good about only smoking when it was a holiday.

Also a thorough brushing and flossing of the teeth, though Kait used to say that the whiskey killed more bacteria!

Nevertheless, this month was made so much brighter with her in my life. Thanks to the powerful changeling, Israfel's life is a lot brighter too!
