Oh January

January is an interesting beast.  On the one hand it is a new beginning.  A time for making resolutions and setting goals.  I want to clean the house, scrub the walls, purge the closets.  I always feel motivated to do better.  Until I realize that all I really want to do is take a nap and curl up with a good book.  Or maybe bake a cake.  It's cold.  It's grey.  January zaps the energy right out of my bones.  Who needs goals anyway?  I have cake.
