Don't Be Our Guest

It's a guest who comes to your house and:

:: points out all of the corners that need swept
:: reminds you the garage isn't organized
:: leaves the door open and makes the entire house cold
:: says things like, "Are you sure you should eat that?"
:: draws attention to your shortcomings
:: forgets to mention that you're at least trying
:: gives you judgy eyes
:: has a gloomy aura 
:: tracks mud and water onto your floors
:: and on top of everything else, is ugly

Which is to say, "January, you've overstayed your welcome."

  3. Oh Ande, please tell January to come and see me.

    I think she is relaxing and enjoyable. She has low-expectations: Cars, garages, and windows are supposed to be dirty. She doesn't expect me to do yard work, meet a tax-deadline, or bring a gift-giving holidays. She brings no flies with her.

    January loves frugal luxuries like soup, sweaters, books, naps, and fun projects.

    Please send me January and I'll send you cousin March :0)
