One thing about February birthdays is learning to roll with the punches. As a kid I had sleepovers that ended up with ice storms trapping friends at my house for longer than intended. Most of my post-college years I've been working through February either at NYFW or some other temporary or freelance position that meant I was away from friends and crazy busy. This year there's been too much going on to get away and our latest bout of bad weather through a wrench in even my more basic birthday plans. I wanted to visit the art museum in Philadelphia, which is a not too long drive or train ride from me…but icy tracks meant the trains weren't running and ice storms had left my car frozen into its spot. So, plans changed; a day trip to Philly turned into an afternoon at the arcade and a movie from Redbox.
