Yippee, It's the Year of The Rabbit, and I'm a RABBIT!! haha!

Happy Chinese New Year!  Yippee, it's the Year of the Rabbit!!  And, here, I thought last year was the year of the Rabbit, and what a crappy year, that was! I thought, ugh, how did that happen??  You're supposed to have a great year if your own Chinese Astrological sign matches the Chinese Year for your animal sign ... was that clear? haha!  Whatever, I'm a Rabbit, it's not like I'm gonna fight you, or nuthin'!!  I just want to stay in my beautiful home and be peaceful and safe all the time (typical Rabbit!! lol!)...  So now we will all have a much better chance at having a great New Year, since the Year of the Rabbit is traditionally a lucky year (especially if you're a Rabbit!! Yippee!!).

I just found this nice little site about Chinese Horoscopes, if you want to see what kind of personality you have (lol!  Like you're just discovering yourself!!), and they're fun to read...

I have a fantastic book on Chinese Astrology I picked up at the Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California (stunningly beautiful Gardens, if you've never been... and they have a gorgeous new Chinese Garden section, to complement their Japanese Gardens, which are spectacularly beautiful, not to mention all their other gorgeous garden areas... ).  The gift shop at the Huntington Gardens has beautiful, beautiful jewelry, and all things flowery (which, clearly, I love!, especially the rose shaped cup I got, and use every day... seems like a lucky shape for a cup!! lol!), but because they have such a huge new Chinese Section in their Gardens, they have a great selection of books on Chinese Astrology, Chinese Art, and all sorts of other lovely items...

Anyway, the book I like the best is The Handbook of Chinese Horoscopes  , and now there is a new 2011 edition, too... a whole lot of fun to read!  I always think it's great to read more good things about yourself... why not??  Science, schmience.  You never know who knows the absolute truth, and when information lasts for thousands of years, I'll often listen to that! hahaha!


It's always fun to see who other people might think you are compatible with... and who doesn't love reading about their 'loved ones' personalities?? It's fun to read their horoscopes and say, 'yep, I knew it, that's him, all right!!" haha!

Omg, I looove these little Rose Shoes!! I was trying to find the 'rose pens' we got at Huntington Gardens, where they wrap a pen with green floral tape and attach the pen to a silk rose... we love our 'rose pens', and they look really pretty in our 'pen jar' by the kitchen island, where I write all my wee notes.. I am forever writing wee notes, reminders to meself... things to do, things to pick up (new men, etc. lol!), endless Shopping Lists, websites I want to check out or link to... you know, the usual kitchen counter stuff! Now I need to buy these rose shoes, and for $16.00, they'll just look great as a new part of my vast shoe collection!  Always room for more shoes, I say... I'll just build a bigger house!! hahaha!   xox!
