8 Reasons Why January Is the Worst Month Ever

I'm just going to come out and say it, January is the worst month ever.

My daily conversations with my friend Michelle has proved something I have known all along. January is the worst month ever. There are no fun holidays (New Years Day is no fun with that hangover) no sun and well it just stinks.

1. You can't make plans too far in advance. Mother nature could dump mounds of snow on you in a single second. You hope you have a family member or friend that works for the airport so they can read you the weather 30 days in advance.

2. You can't seem to shed the extra 15 pounds you gained from eating everything in sight during the holidays. So you just continue to eat.

3. You haven't seen the sun in two months thanks to your work schedule or Mother Nature. You are starting to look so pale you are transparent. You can't stop dreaming of the beach.

4. You can't afford to spend money at the year end clearances because you spent it all in Don't Care December.

5. If you are lucky to have a bit of money, you can purchase the new 'trendy' clothes that are for the spring. Yet, you can't wear them for another 3 months.

6. Karaoke on television is popular again, aka American Idol. We don't need that much Ryan Seacrest.

7. Starbucks takes away their festive red cups and fancy holiday drinks.

8. The lotion problem. Your hands are so chapped from the cold you need to put lotion on them. Yet, when you put lotion on them they burn.

Are you picking up what I'm throwin' down? Are you smellin' what I'm steppin' in? It sucks.
