Week of Celebration

I guess this is a bit of continuation from my previous post. This week is somewhat of a week of celebration I guess. Fat Tuesday followed by Ash Wednesday started off the season of Lent. Is it called a season? Anyways, I usually choose to give something up for the days of Lent. This year it snuck up on me and I didn't actually decide on something until today. I have decided to give up chips and salsa, mainly because I finished my supply this afternoon. Some of you may think that this is not really a big deal; however you may not understand my addiction. Hi, my name is Michelle, and I am a chips and salsa-a-holic! So this will be a serious challenge for me. Hopefully I will be more successful at this than I have been with my New Year's resolution. You may recall I am working on better dental hygiene. I have been a little better, but not flossing/rinsing everyday as my intentions were.

Chinese New Year started today (as well as Korean and Vietnamese New Year). I have always been fascinated by this for some odd reason. This year starts the Year of the Rat. I was born in the Year of the Cock. They say the year you were born in says something about your personality. I read that Cock's are eccentric and selfish, among other things I don't recall. I don't think I would describe myself as selfish. Sometimes I do think I am a little weird so I guess that could interpret as eccentric. We went and ate Chinese food last night in celebration. I'm not really sure that they really celebrate a so called "New Year's Eve" but that's what we decided to make it. Actually we thought it started yesterday so when it didn't we called it the eve celebration. Maybe I'll pretend I was waiting to start my resolution for the Chinese New Year! Ha!Ha!
