Thanks for the mention!

Must be fun to have some heat where you are! :) I don't like January much either -- I somehow feel it's the start of another pretty long haul. And yeah, I really get very annoyed when people cough up their lungs. I'm a germophobe even when there are no germs, so can you imagine what this season does to me! My entire household (poor kids) are now down with what I have. Not fun.
