New Year

You've got to love January. Once you get over the post-Christmas letdown and post-New Year's letdown and survive that hellish first day back at work, that is.

Because in January, you finally have time? get up the motivation? to do things like call the city and request another recycle bin. And replace dull eyebrow scissors. And it feels fantastic. Never have I been so excited to go to Target and Ikea. And you know what else is great? Green pepper, eaten raw. Like nirvana after the cheese platters and cookie trays of December.

2009 is another blank slate, a new training schedule up on the fridge, a year of possibilities. And I am ready for it.
