go away january

i like winter. i really do. i like the snow. i like warm clothes and wrapping up in blankets and watching tv all night. i like the cold. but not the butt-freezing that is currently our weather pattern (by the way, pope is no longer on the porch--he is on 5--is that wierd? i will be sad because i really enjoyed saying "poop on the porch said it would...").
anyway, winter is good. but really i think i would like winter better without january. i detest january. it is a long, inversion-stuck, stupidly cold month. i have been counting down the days until february 2--i like the ground hog, especially when he either sees or doesn't see (i can't remember which) his shadow and "spring is just around the corner". there is hope. but january, when you can't remember what the sun looks like, is a dreadful month. no exciting holidays, except of course human rights day or martin luther kind jr day or i have a dream day (yeah, i have a dream and it includes flowers and sun and sandals)--but that doesn't count because shawn doesn't get it off--lame-o. anyway, january just needs to go away and go away fast before i slink into a depressive oblivion.
anyway, i hope you all have a great january day (or maybe just one that is better than mine).

I so understand. I hate January. Let's have two Septembers instead.

I'll trade you your January with a car for my last block home where last night despite my long, thick coat with fur collar, wool pants, boots, wool sweater, hat and gloves, I thought I was standing on the corner naked when the wind blew threw. January is not my friend.
