I thought I was a rat
At least I thought I was born in the year of the rat. I saw an Asian astrologer on CNN earlier today that said people who are born in the year of the rat are going to have a great romantic year in 2008 and I was thinkin… yeah.. cool. My daughter-in-law is Chinese and I was on skype wishing her a happy new year and I was bragging about my love luck in 2008 because I was born in the year of the rat.
She congratulated me and then said, “Mom, are you sure you’re a rat? I am not 100% certain but I think you’re a pig.”
GASP!!!!
Me? A Pig? I’ve lived 60 years under the impression that I’m a rat and I learn that I’m a pig? What’s up about that? Look up any birth chart in any Chinese restaurant in the US and I’m a rat. How much more exact do you need than that?
Wellsir, rats go to January 28th and I’m a 29th woman. THAT makes me a pig.
So, feeling all dejected I decided to look up Chinese astrology and see what my sign is going to provide in the way of luck now that I know I’m a pig. I was getting really excited about my man being all romantic and loving and getting big presents. But then I saw my Chinese horoscope.
It’s not love I’m going to get but money !!! So should I be more excited about money than I was about love? I shouldn’t be but I have to admit that I instantly started thinking.. new boat. new boat. new boat.
If you see me tootling along in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand in a boat anytime soon, just tell your friends, “It was all pig luck.”
that’s hard to choose.. love or money, love or money? i really dont know. why can’t it be both??
i’m a pig tooo..yippeee i’m gonna get a lots of money…money can buy everything except love happiness..but for now i dont care…i need more money!
and flirty..u have a well blended family..a chineese daughter-in-law? thts cool….:D
****From FeelingFlirty - Yep, Ming is originally from Taiwan. At 13 she was told she was going on a holiday with some American friends but in actuality they were adopting her so her family would have enough money to send her brother to medical school. She hasn’t had it easy. She’s been my daughter-in-law for 16 years and 2 years ago she figured out how to get pregnant so I have 2 new grandbabies who are beautiful! Jade and Jake.
I’m born in the year of the Rat (1984). Hmmm it’s nice to know that I will have a great love life this year.
I am tiger..An my prediction is that I’ll be lucky in love too this 2008.But I guess that’s wrong.I’ll just take the money.^_^
If I were you. Since your kinda old. You should choose money. Money is everything in this world
***From FeelingFlirty. It wasn’t a choice of love over money, it’s my Asian horoscope. I thought I was a rat which would have meant I would have great romance this year and then I found out I was a pig and I should have more money opportunities. I do realize I’m old but even old people can fall or stay in love.
lolz, my mom is a rat
but somehow she’s so afraid of rats that she wouldn’t even look at these creatures!
