Ox & Snake in Rooster, or....

What the Chinese know that western astrologers don't. This is my Chinese horoscope for the year of the Rooster:


Ox
After a couple of grueling years, you will (at last!) feel understood. Roosters and Oxen get along like two houses on fire. Your diligence will be rewarded. Thrilling progress is on the immediate horizon. Money (because you’re so naturally thrifty) will be plentiful. Enduring romantic love is in the air. Marry up with a right-thinking Rooster or a gorgeous Snake. People of those two signs were born on your wave length.

I was born in the year of the OX and David is a Snake (in this case, that is a good thing!)

Last night, we had a lovely evening at the Mall - for once it was not crowded and we were able to meander through without rushing. We picked up some good stuff for the boys and, since I had a $50 gift certificate to Macy's that has been burning a hole in my wallet since Christmas, we went to Macy's. Now most of you do not know David or me, but my love of shopping is in inverse proportion to David's lack of said emotion. David doesn't shop, he buys. I, on the other hand can shop for hours and not buy anything. Anyway back to my story - I decided I wanted a new pocketbook (I am obsessed by pocketbooks- oh yeah and shoes), so we go the the bag/shoe dept and ---- they are having a BIG sale - I am in heaven, David's eyes are glazing over. I look, I pick, I pick something else, I look some more. I check every bag on every shelf in the whole dept and David... does nothing, doesn't complain, doesn't tell me to hurry up or get annoyed with me. He just waits patiently while I finally come to a decision and buy the pinky/dark rose Nine West bag at 25% off. (pics later). And we walk out of the store hand in hand to the parking lot.

In the car, he suggested we go to the diner by the apt for dinner (it is kind of our spot). We spend a lovely dinner together celebrating V-Day now I/o next week because of the boys birthday. Oh yeah and I got this.

Oh yeah 2 - David is a Virgo and I am a Sagittarius, which is not a great match up - I like the Chinese version much better!
