Happy Hoppy new Year to Y'all

Happy January.

Ok, I'm experiencing the post-christmas blues. The melancholy chore of taking down all my beautiful decorations and my cute tree. ( a symphony of colour and sparkle in the gloom of -30c) Now cold, stark January hangs over the house.

I had a mental collaspe a couple of days ago, I think it had to do with having to go back to "normal" life. (whatever that is...) My brain was filled with resolutions, good intentions and to-do lists. Have you ever noticed how much CRAP you or society puts in your head and how the constant chatter overwhelms?

For example:

Ok here's a version of what I'm trying to explain -

I should try to go outside more, I'm sure the air would do me good, much less tv too, chocolate should be eaten in moderation but it's like sex, no? I eat chocolate way more often. Drive BY the fast food places, avert your eyes from those Big Bacon classics. Keep up on your scrapbooks,
blog and layer of dust that sometimes covers the house.
Be regular - eat your bran, eat yogourt with active bacteria cultures, pluck your eyebrows - it opens up your face. Exfoliate. Don't chew your fingernails but remember to cut your toenails, cause even if they look nicer with polish when longer, they may inflict lacerations to your spouse on a cold night. Get a proper fitting bra, be thankful, eliminate split-ends by getting a good cut every4-6weeks. Change the furnace filter every 6 mths prolonging the life of the furnace and boosting its eff. Use cold water to do the laundry. Keep the receipt. Boil the bones for soup, filter the water, grind the coffee. Recycle. What? We're out of Peanut butter again?

see, I'm crazy.
mental word vommit.
enough of that.

But, OK. Good things about Jan.

1. award show season starts anda whole slew of new dresses to critique.
2. the new 24 season starts - JACK is BACK ( for anyone who follows the show-you understand)
3. I don't feel guilty about not going outside.
4. a whole new year of days and seasons and endless possibility awaits.
5. glittery snow
6. holiday movie release spill-over
7. ummmmm.....

that's all I can think of right now. I'm working under food deprevation so my brain is still on dial-up, forgive me if I'm not sooooo clever and creative. Once my body figures out that I will survive without consuming 2 lbs of fudge a day, my sharp senses will return... until then lock up the M&M's.
