I think February has lasted about six weeks! In between snow shoveling sessions, we spent much of our time at home.
TV
We watched a little of the Olympics coverage, but every night we sat on the couch and checked in for our new part-time job--watching Breaking Bad.
Breaking Bad
I think we have twelve episodes left. This show has been so good. All of the characters are flawed, and some of them are truly despicable, but I can't look away.
Downton Abbey
I have to admit, this season didn't really live up to expectations for me. I also probably didn't give it a fair shake. For a few weeks, Downton was just filler until Sherlock came on. I missed an episode--I was away and when I returned home, I learned that the DVR had failed to record it. I also didn't get to watch the entire finale. I will watch it all again soon. It is the most delicious eye candy. I also think maybe I should have been alive during the 1920's, because I just love the hats!
The Amazing Race
This show has been one of our Sunday night staples for years, and we were caught by surprise to learn that a new race has started. We haven't yet caught up, but we will. When this show first aired, I used to imagine that there was no way that Rob and I could run the race together. I think that over the years, we have learned enough about how we each work--and how to communicate effectively with each other--that we could probably do it. I would love to see a behind the scenes show about the race--how long does it really take the teams to clear customs before they can be filmed running out of the airport?
How I Met Your Mother
This has finally returned from its Olympics hiatus, and I am so happy about that. I am not happy that the show is ending in March. Did they cut the season short? It feels like it's finally getting good. I am going to miss this show.
Music
The Avett Brothers--Magpie and the Dandelion
I found this at the library earlier this week. I have listened to it once through so far, and I like what I hear. I may be purchasing this one soon.

Have you listened to any other albums by the Avetts? I think I + Love + You was their last truly great album.
I agree about How I Met Your Mother. The last few episodes have been the best all season. I hope we see a lot of the "Mother." in the last few episodes.
Downton was a little lackluster this season but my guess is Fellowes was giving us a break after the heartbreak of Matthew's death. The finale is well worth watching the whole way through, for the closing scene alone. The Avett Brothers are fantastic! I agree with what Shana said above.
