patience is a virtue I know its hard to keep track of everything. I do a fairly good job of things on this site, just disappointing i let this one slip by. But it would be cool if they asked for your birthday when you registered to be a reviewer and automatically enter you. I feel like that shouldn't be that hard less

This year, we’re doing something different. We’ve touched on the Greek-based zodiac two years in a row already so I’ve decided to switch it up! This time, the ‘sign’ mentioned may not be yours since they are done in sets of years, but there are 12 of them! Perfect! Oh and not only that, but there are sub-sets of these signs based on element! Are you excited yet? Get ready, set, LEARN!


Sign – Rat


In the legend that Buddha had animals race against each other for the honor of appearing as a sign in their zodiac cycle, the rat was the first to cross the finish line. It wasn’t that this little creature was the fastest by any means, but it used its brain instead of its brawn and rode on the back of another animal to skip to the head of line. Thus this animal earned the spot of the first sign of the Chinese zodiac cycle. It symbolizes wit, imagination, and curiosity. Rats have keen observation skills, loads of energy, are talkative and charming, and prone to aggression. They tend to give excellent advice but won’t share they own troubles with others.

Rats are most compatible with the Dragon and Monkey and are incompatible with the Horse and Rabbit.

If you want to know if this is your sign and what element you are, see the years below. To learn more about your individual elements, search online for more cool facts! I couldn’t fit it all in a single post.

Metal Rats – 1900 and 1960
Water Rats – 1912 and 1972
Wood Rats – 1924 and 1984
Fire Rats – 1936 and 1996
Earth Rats – 1948 and 2008

Happy Birthday to all my January Birthday sisters and brothers!

Mine was yesterday, and I had a lovely day with Thai food for dinner and nice presents from my family. Flowers and candy and a T Shirt (that I will never wear, he never gets it. I don't wear men's T Shirts... even if it does have a picture of Sheldon saying BAZINGA! Classy.) I also got a mandolin. One for cooking. We already have a string mandolin which is for making music.

We were going to have sushi (my fav) but we had an ice storm yesterday, and My Man had had a few glasses of wine and I didn't want him driving. The Thai food which was delivered was really good! And he got me chocolate cupcakes (bought them that morning) for a cake, so I didn't have to bake one.

I hope all your birthdays were nice and fun. less
