Year of the Rabbit

I love all the places to go where we live!  We took the kids to the Chinese New Year Festival at the Fairgrounds for some good food and fun.  I don’t put much weight into the Zodiac, but whenever I read the descriptions and ask Michael to guess which family member it is, it’s always dead on:)  It’s funny too that Taye and I are both Fire and Michael and Lex are both Wood.  I’ll copy some descriptions for you to guess (answers are at the bottom of this post):

A)  People born in the Year of the ____ are deep thinkers, capable, and talented. They like to be busy and are devoted beyond their capabilities and are deeply disappointed if they fail. People born in the ____ Year are often a bit eccentric, and often have rather difficult relationship with others. They always think they are right and usually are. They frequently are loners and though they give the outward impression of being adventurous, they are timid. ____ people’s emotions like their fortunes, swing very high to very low. They can be selfish and too outspoken, but are always interesting and can be extremely brave.

B)  People born in the Year of the ____ are deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. ____ people are often quite vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. ____ people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people's judgment and prefer to rely on themselves.
