Year of the Dragon

I'm gonna try very hard to not talk about the Niners right now and talk about Chinese New Year. Why? Because today is Chinese New Year and I need to welcome in the year of the dragon with nothing but happy thoughts...despite the ugly Niners' loss last night...ugh.

As always, Chinese New Year snuck up on me and caught me totally unprepared. I mean, I guess I can't complain about that too much (since I seem to complain about it every year)...but still, it feels like I just wrapped up the holiday season and it's too soon for Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year is typically sometime in February...but this year, it's incredibly early and came outta no where. I barely had time to clean everything, finish my shopping and schedule our annual cooking feast...before I found myself in the midst of the holiday season with no more time left to plan. Ugh. But alas, it's here and time to make the best of it. I mean, for all of you who didn't enjoy the new year a few weeks ago...now is your chance to relive the moment and have another go around at kick starting a great year.

As for me, I will do my best to think happy thoughts today...

Happy Chinese New Year!
