January in the northeast…  for most people it’s just a cold miserable month.  But I realized this year as the calendar changed how much I like the month and the newness it brings.  After all, I am a lover of office supplies and planning so seeing all the ads and hearing the talk of people getting organized… well it’s like Christmas never ended!  Seriously though, after the indulgences of December it feels good to get back to work.  January also means the beginning of tax season—my favorite season.  Weird, I know, but I enjoy the number crunching and adrenaline rush of the deadlines.  So while I’m studying the code and getting my software up and running, I hope you’ll be gathering your paperwork for last year and starting off this year right with good recordkeeping (mileage deductors, don’t forget to write down your odometer reading for January 1!)
