Oh January… where do I start with you? You haven’t been very good to me so far… or maybe I haven’t been very good to you. Who’s to say?
We started off on the right foot… resolutions and all. I lost four pounds, I was exercising a lot more, eating a lot less. I started my search for a new job, found one, got it, & gave notice at the old job. All in two weeks! Not too shabby, but January I think we must have gotten into a fight because now I don’t feel like we are such good friends.
All in the same week, this past week, I have lost my dear sweet cat, Anya.
I have also gained back the four pounds, as well as that determined feeling I had towards my treadmill. I have had an awful anxiety attack that also brought on the worst heartburn I’ve ever experienced in my life. I felt like my chest was collapsing and I couldn’t breathe. FUN! In addition to all of these things that you have thrown me, January, you have also let me know that I will never qualify for a mortgage on Cape Cod. For fun January you decided to let me know on the same day that my in-laws will probably be selling the house that we live in soon and therefore I should start looking to buy or rent.
Oh January… why must you torture me? I hope the rest of the months are not like you because I am waiting for a good year, filled with goodness & light. Not darkness and slow torture by means of horrid irony.
So this is my first blog post… and it’s dedicated to you January. It is dedicated to having no more of your humor & little “life lessons.”
Good riddance to January and hello new year!

P.S. Target also released their Hello-Good Buy ad this month and I have the pure joy of having it stuck in my head 24/7… hello good buy…. you say hello I say good buy! Oh clever! I suppose it could be worse.. I could have “Freezing at pee-wee hockey” stuck in my head.
