Happy Year of the Dragon

The Chinese New Year has arrived, and I am definitely hoping for a wonderful new year. If nothing terrible happens to me this year, I will consider it a definite good year. My standards have become somewhat low, and I don't need any spectacular to occur, but I do need nothing horrible to occur.

I had an unhealthy amount of sticky sweet rice when I was over at my grandma's house. I have never been a real fan of it, but for some reason, I had to have a large portion. It tasted good at the time, and I am now paying for it with a tummy ache. Not that tummy aches are uncommon for me these days.

There is something exciting about getting one of these red envelope full of money from your relatives. It has such promise inside, and I sometime just admire the red envelopes. They are beautiful.

This year my aunt, uncles, and grandparents gave me money in a goldish yellow envelope which confused me. I sat staring at it for awhile, and wondered why a color of an envelope would be throw me off so much, but I moved past it, so that I could focus on the more important thing at hand... money! I did receive a total of $20, and that is $20 more than I had, so I was excited. :)

Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
