  • HappY Birthday - You didn't die this year

    Here we go, it's day one of MOMOFJENMATT'S Birthday Week.  That's right xangans one week from now, on June 30th, 2007 I will be  : Drum Roll:  47 years old. 

    So in honor of the day of my birth I will be doing Birthday blogs all week.  Unless I get sick of it ( which I might by tomorrow).

    I was born in the Year of the Rat.  Can I just say how upsetting that is to me?  I hate rats.  I don't even like mice.  As a matter of fact, I have a mouse phobia.  They give me the creeps.  I was terrified by that made for tv. movie Ben, even though the song by Michael Jackson was cute.  Now of course Michael Jackson is the scary one, but that's a different story.

    I'm not exactly sure what the Chinese people were going for when they did this year of thing, but I'm not happy.

    Astrologically, I am Cancer, the crab.  Not  much better than the rat.  So I was pretty much doomed from day one.  I couldn't get Lion and Tiger, or even Dog and twins, that would have been cool, no I am stuck with the two worst signs.

    I share my Birthday with Mike Tyson.  See what I mean?  Doomed from day one.

    According to the birthday calculator I found through google, I was conceived on a Thursday.  This is information I could have lived without.  Even at 46, I'm not interested in thinking about my conception and it still grosses me out.

    Parents don't have sex, it's a fact.

    If it's your birthday today, enjoy this special birthday song. 

    If it's not your birthday, enjoy the song anyway.

  • You sure got a double whammy! I am a Dragon...the most eccentric of the Eastern zodiac...and a Leo. One good thing is I am compatible with Rats...isn't that nice to know? And Rats are noted for their charm btw...

  • :tigger34: Happy Birthday Week!!!! That is the greatest birthday song ever!  When we lived in Montgomery we heard it for the first time!  I love it!

    Looking forward to a week of birthday posts!

  • Geez,  no wonder when the moon is just right,  and you get PMS ,  you were doomed from the get-go!  :o mg24:

  • :cupcake14:  <--- here you go!

    My husband turns 47 on July 3, also making him a RatCrab. Or is that CrabRat?  Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day!! 

    I am a DragonRam.

  • Aww thanks for the song! Happy Birthday!

  • You crispy spring ...:hmmm22: is it politically correct to call you a chick? nope. RESTART: You blooming spring flower:hot21: 3 years before you turn 50 sounds even better. RAT is xellent  like every single chineese sign. Cancer has advantages too. Do you know your ascendents? Someone told me he is fish ascendent mayo:shark8: Do tell us how you are going to celebrate:cupcake14: hugs

  • I love that song. XD My cousin played it at my birthday party. :o mg24: Hope you have a great birthday.

  • I'm a dragon and a fish.  But at least I have nothing in common with Mike Tyson.

  • I love that birthday song! :music40: I am a Tiger and a Lion. Are 'ya jealous? :sillygrin28:

  • I am Gemini (Twins) and that's all I know - I don't know the other sign, lol.  You can Google your conception date?  Sheesh!  I bet if I thought about it enough (which I'm not gonna do) I could remember those details for at least one of my kids!  :o mg24:

    Happy Birthday week to you, Laura!  RYC: Of COURSE I would not purposefully forget your b-day! :cupcake14:

  • er, yeah, it's a given: parents DON'T have s-e-x, dare we say.  I'm looking forward to your bday posts--ought to be funny judging from your past memory lane posts.  I forget who I share my birthday with.  All I know is that it hasn't been the same since 9/-11.  When it happened, I forgot about my birthday.  My mom called and only then I remembered.  Parents always seem to remember their kids' bdays even when the wole world is falling apart.  And yes, my birthday marks the day the stork delivered me to my parents.  sela!

  • cancer, crabs, rats, & mike tyson ... gee, i have the same birthday as david cassidy... hope your birthday week is a good one...:sunflowers26:

  • happy birthday coming up on the 30th.

  • I turn 46 on August the 1st. I share a birthday with the late Jerry Garcia. When those little bear thingies were popular I wanted a Garcia Bear real bad, but they were too expensive. Apparantly I was born in the year of the rat too... ugh!

    Have a great birthday week. Sorry I won't be here all week to help you celebrate, but I will be back before the 30th.

    Hugs, Tricia :snoopy23: :snoopy23: :snoopy23: :snoopy23: :snoopy23: :snoopy23: :snoopy23: :snoopy23:

  • according to chinese.astrology.com,
    Though the Western rat is reviled as little more than a bottom-dwelling disease carrier, this animal is viewed much differently in the East. The Eastern rat is revered for its quick wits and its ability to accrue and hold on to items of value; rats are considered a symbol of good luck and wealth in both China and Japan.

    traditional traits of Cancer:
    Emotional and loving, Intuitive and imaginative, Shrewd and cautious, Protective and sympathetic

    Hope that makes you feel a little better.  I'm a Libra and a Monkey.  I used to think the same way (how cool are scales?!) until I looked them up and discovered they really sound like me.  Odd combination, probably why I'm so odd. LOL  I share my birthday with Neve Campbell, not sure that's any better. :cupcake14:

  • I try to promote my birthday for a solid week. 

    Parents have sex.  I am a parent and it is one of my favorite activities.

  • Have a good birthday week.  I hate to know that for the rest of your life, every Thursday, you will be thinking..."This was sex night for my parents!"

  • You share your special day with my daughter FT - so we will have a drink for you when we are in Vegas:girldance5::wine25:

  • Happy Birthday!!! :sun3: :cupcake14: :snoopy23: :tigger34:

  • I am a Rat too... so I feel your pain there. LOVE the birthday song

    where do I find it? I'd love to post it for my sister - her birthday is Wednesday

  • Thank You for the comment

  • :blog17:

    hey thanks.  i didn't realize that my back ground has disappeared and that all that was there was white layout.

  • I love the funny song.  I hope your birthday week is all you hope for and more.  Parents don't have sex?  I walked in on my parents when I was a young teen...LOL

  • haha!  :) t

  • While I do not know too much about the origins of astrological signs, I do know a little about the folklore origins of the Chinese zodiac, (which if you googled it, I'm sure you would too) and quite frankly, you should be proud to be a "rat".  The story goes that the Jade Emperor of heaven invited 12 animals to participate in a race.  Out of the 12, the tale ends with the rat taking 1st place (albeit the feat was accomplished in a sneaky manner) and the emperor decreed that the rat start off the zodiac cycle.  :D

  • Happy birthday you Crabby Rat!!!!! LOL. I think I'm a rat too, if I'm not mistaken... but I got a good other sign, Aquarius... water. Water is good.

    :snoopy23:

  • so my birthday is two days before yourssss!

    and i just read your last entry, and i decided that totally semi describes me. However, when i am older, i know i'll probably be just like you.

  • I was born on January 10th, 1988.  Now I can say that I was born in the year of the dragon and be extra cool but the year is determined by the new moon, so I am a rabbit.  I'm also a capricorn.  I share my birthday with Stephan Ambrose, Pat Benetar, Ray  Bolger, Jim Croce, Goerge Foreman, Frank Sinatra Jr, and Rod Stewart.

  • You're just a kid.

    Or I'm old.

  • The Chinese are not consistent, when you are born your age is already one year, so nine months previous to your hospital arrival date you were born technically in the year previous, so maybe you aren't born in the year of the rat?

    The Jews and Chinese are similar in calendar usage, they go by the lunar calendar. However because the moon shifts maybe it is simplier to use the Julius calendar....

    Birthdays probably have their origins with mothers who want some credit for the pain they went thru to give birth. Maybe the fathers would want to celebrate the day of inception because that's the day they got "lucky"

    Well now that you are officially divorced you join the group of parents that officially don't have sex. I guess my daughters believe that their parents also don't have sex but its been so long I don't even think I have memories of sex with their mother...

    Looks like dragon/leos seem to visit here often, or maybe it is a coincident? In a room of fifty random people you will find at least two people with the same birthday.....

  • The first time we went for Chinese here at the restaurant where your animal is on the placement I was pissed to see I was a rat. Are you sure you are a rat? I will only be 46.  Wait maybe I was a cock.

  • Happy birthday!

  • RYC: In cold blood - Yes I have both the old movie and the book. I just havn't read it yet. It's on my summer to do list. :sillygrin28:

  • :cupcake14:Oh my.....I bought the MOST PERFECT gift for your birthday today!!!! If only I knew your address I'd send it to you. Ok, so as not to creep you out, I bought it before I knew it was your b-day.....it would fit perfectly for you though. I just thought it was cool---but I have a weird sense of "humor."

    About the parent thing...I totally agree. Me & my husband were just discussing that the other night. I told him that I think my parents only did it 5 times but only to see what would happen. The had 5 kids.

    and before I go......HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

  • Rats are clever!

  • You must be kidding me. My brithday is the 30th too! That's insane... I knew we had some sort of connection!

  • It ain't all that bad. Look at it from my perspective another meaningless day(june 30th) now has some meaning after all.

  • WOW....ripe old age!! 

  • Thanks. ;)  

  • my sympathies from one crab to another! Love the birhtday song!:hahahahaha18:

  • RYC: Don't worry about it. If you don't want to do it I won't be offended!

  • Hope you have a g reat birthday week, keep us in the loop so we can all celebrate all week long with you.  Kool birthday song.  Have a happy seven times. 

  • i don't think you were conceived on a thursday.  There is no exact gestation period.  So you might have been conceived on the following Saturday, when your parents had time to do it.  Or on the wednesday before, when there was nothing good on tv.
