The tree is down. The Santa’s and Snowmen are packed away for another year. The wallets are bare. The jeans are tight. (oh so tight) The mailboxes are full of junk mail and bills instead of Holiday cards. Winter break is over (THANK YOU LORD!) and so are the two day work weeks.
The holidays are all over. So… um, now what?
This is the part of winter I hate. The part I most dread. I look at the looming dark cold days of January and February ahead and want to cry. I would very much like to become a bear and hibernate until spring.
Does anyone else hope that Obama makes Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day national holidays so we don’t have to wait until Memorial Day for our next paid day off? Especially since THAT ISN’T UNTIL MAY!?
I know I complained before but now… I kinda want it all back. I want the parties and the anticipation. I want the Christmas cards. I want the Christmas music! I want SOMETHING! How long can I get away with saying “Happy New Year!” before people start giving me the stink eye?
You know what? NO! Part of declaring 2009 as My Year means I refuse to be down in the dumps. Even the January Dumps! 2009 being My Year doesn’t mean it starts in March. I get the WHOLE year!
There are some fun things happening this month. I have some good friend’s birthdays to look forward to, a Superbowl Party and of course 1.20.09. Did anyone else just hear the angels sing?
So yeah! Did you hear that January!? You can suck it! Same goes for you February! Yeah I’m shaking my fist at you! You won’t get me down this year! You won’t tarnish my 2009.
Who said the Holidays are over? Well they aren’t the boss of me.
There are PLENTY of holidays coming up. Good holidays! Important ones!
Therefore, I’m going to pull myself up by my snowboot straps and give President Lincoln the best birthday party he has ever seen.
And don’t even get me started on the Groundhogs Day! I wonder where I can get some groundhog lights?
