cockle-doodle-doo!

happy chinese lunar new year! so, you may already know, 2005 is the year of the rooster. i don't put much weight into these things, but this is how the sign of the rooster is described...

these quick thinkers are practical and resourceful, preferring to stick to what is tried and true rather than taking messy, unnecessary risks. roosters are keenly observant. it's hard to slip anything past a rooster, since they seem to have eyes in the backs of their heads! this quality can lead others to think the rooster is psychic. this sign enjoys a keen attention to detail that makes it a whiz at anything requiring close analysis. roosters make great lawyers, brain surgeons, and accountants, to name a few of this sign's possible occupations. above all else, the rooster is very straightforward and rewards others' honesty in kind...

not so bad. we will have ourselves a little rooster very soon!

by the way, the little one is having the hiccups as i type! so cute...
