The first thing I said this morning after my 6:30AM alarm went off, right after cursing the local radio station for playing "Bed Rock" approximately every 15 minutes (NOT the best wake-up call, JUST SAYIN'), was Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits! It's something I've been doing on the first day of every month for years and years without knowing why. I have been under the premise that it's some kind of lucky ritual to guarantee a good month ahead. I much prefer luck to bring happiness, instead of things like hard work. Therefore I keep spouting Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits! without actually knowing the reason.

I consulted Teh Intarwebz today to find out if Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits! is indeed a good-luck charm, or if it's actually reaffirming my deal with Satan that I made as a child or otherwise unpleasant things. Phew...it's a good thing. Wikipedia says it's an old superstition that creates good luck for every day of a new month. There are lots of variations on it, but basically the gist of it is if you mention "rabbits" today you're going to have a good March.

I'm super happy March is here because I can't really deal with winter much more. Knowing that spring is just 21 days away, even just on the calendar, is good news. Who are we kidding--it's going to be colder than a witch's tit for another couple of months. But knowing that spring and Easter and tulips are all coming soon, and that living the life of a coal miner, a.k.a. going to work AND coming home at the end of the day in pitch black darkness, will be over in a matter of days, makes me ecstatic.

Things I'm jazzed about over the next several weeks:
-My income tax return (uhh...hopefully)
-Easter. Long weekend + chocolate.
-A possible trip south, TBD
-The Ideal Home Show at the end of March, because I can't get enough house stuff and am a total home improvement geek, especially in springtime
-Alice in Wonderland opening this weekend, and a movie and dinner date with Peter on Saturday to check it out.
-Gossip Girl resumes next Monday. *squee*
-Fun projects at work.

Things I'm not so pumped about this spring:
-Turning 29.

But I digress.

Back to the original point of this post: do you say Rabbits Rabbits Rabbits? Or do you have any other odd superstitions you'd like to share?
