January Sucks. February isn't much better.
Warning. This post is not as sunshine and puppy dogs as my usual blather. You have been warned.
I hate the entire month of January. From the first big let down day that is New Years Day through the middle to the very end, it pretty much sucks. This January has stayed true to form so far. Rain. Rain. Drizzle. Cold and some more rain. I kind of forgot what the sun looks like. The other day when it did come out for a few hours, I couldn't find my sunglasses because it had been so long since I had worn them.
Also, I am dieting and hungry which makes me cranky. Thus, the somber mood. On a happier note, I did just eat a Steak Homewrecker from Moe's! Unfortunately, it took up most of the allowable calories for the day. So, if I go to the gym and run about 6.5 miles, I may have earned back enough calories so I can have a rice cake for dinner.
The kids are also in foul moods. Due to Cam's horrible behavior, she is banned from our gym for 60 days. Yes. 60 Days. I'm angry with her, to say the least.
Nothing to look forward to in January. No good holidays. No parties planned. No vacations. Just cold with rain on top. With February, you at least have Valentine's Day (presents!). But its still pretty much a derivative of January's suckiness. At least its short.
March is good though so that is something to look forward to. Also, we get to go back to the gym in March. Yes. We have to wait until freaking March.
If anyone has some "pluses about January" please feel free to leave me a comment. I bet there won't be any.

well, the good thing is we have a meeting wednesday night (i hope that's the right day) and we'll get to hang our with cool chicks (well that's the plus for me - because you are one of the cool chicks). And as a nice little happy - I was hoping to bring you a copy of my newest Matt cd - do you have any of his music? I just got "at the point" and there is a great version of Suspended - and a few other favs (or faves) and he talks a bit between songs and you know he has a potty mouth - but sometimes, when there are no kids in the car, it's a little nice to listen to something that will actually make you laugh out loud. The other day - I actually clapped at the end of the cd - in the car - along with the live audience. i think i have issues.
anyway - you totally forgot about MLK's day - i mean THAT is a highlight in January, right?
we don't enjoy this time of year either - we have a curse that usually strikes the day before or the day of cole's b'day - which is in feb. never fun!!!
the only REAL highlight i can think of is Cole will be cancer free for four years on january 31st. if you need a reason to celebrate, you can celebrate that - but i won't be eating cake because i'm dieting, too! bummer!
wow this is the longest comment in the world. sorry about that!!
The agonizing, cold, dreary days until Feb 3 (my birthday) have always tortured me. You are in good company.
But you can request a new friend on Facebook! (me)
Think of all the colds you are avoiding exposing Cam to. We've caught some of our worse stuff EVER from the gym.
Okay, that's it. All I've got.
i'm with you on january. man i am sick of this rain. february is better for us though. DS's birthday is the 8th and mine the 24th and this year february will be good since i'm starting the month off with a week in new york.
hope you see some sunshine soon. if you do send it to me. :)
I'll watch The Biter when you want to go to the gym..just drop her by. Please don't diet...it is really not necessary for you.
WTH? How does a little runt like her get BANNED from a gym? Seriously? What did she do? Take a gun to aerobics or something? Geez. I've never heard of such.
My birthday is Jan. 27th....We should plan a party..haha. I will be in Cali...I know that is not very nice to tell you that. Since you aren't going. Sorry about that..budgets suck worse than January! Happy sunshine today! I'm with Karly...DO NOT DIET! How will you find clothes to fit? I could give you Emma's hand-me-downs, I guess.
You're not focusing on the positive, Katie.
Good things about January:
24? BACK!
Lost? BACK!
American Idol? BACK!
Rock of Love Bus? BACK (and puke)!
DWTS? BACK!
Brothers and Sisters? BACK (I think)!
Cool weather is GREAT to run in, and since you can't go to the gym...
Whether you voted for him or not, Inaugaration Day is exciting. I'm hopeful that he will be a great president. I'm like Red in Shawshank, "Hope is a good thing, and no good thing ever dies." HOPE!
January starts a new year! You can turn the page on a year that might not have lived up to expectations and GET BUSY reaching for goals in this year.
And, if you disagree with all of that -
This is the day,
this is the day,
that the Lord has made!
that the Lord has made!
I will rejoice,
I will rejoice,,
and be glad in it!
AND BE GLAD IN IT!
Or, in the words of the Partridge Family...come on get happy!
Now, focus on the positive!
Damn I'm good. Tony Robbins couldn't hold my microphone!
CC Poty cracks me up. Who is that?
And this is sure to improve your January - I awarded you with a major distinction...check it out:

Ok, CC POTY is the bomb.
You. Diet. Two words that should never be said together.
Hey, it could be worse, right. She could be banned from the gym forever!
And, whatever. You are great. You are cute. You've got fashion all together.
Who cares about January?! We've got Katie B!!!!!!!!!!!
And, if you need a reason to celebrate.......I just ran a freaking marathon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
