Happy Ox Year!

If you were born in 1913, 1925, 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973 (me!), 1985, 1997 or 2009, you were born in the Year of the Ox. It is the second of 12 signs in the Chinese lunar calendar. 

Celebrate your sign's Lunar New Year at the Chinese Community Center's Year of the Ox festival next Saturday, Jan. 31, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 9800 Town Park in Houston. 

According to the Chinese calendar, people born in the Year of the Ox are often described as hardworking, tolerant and determined to succeed. Not sure if all those hold true but I do know that this "Ox Girl" is happy to take a break from all this hard work with a party! Join me at the Chinese Community Center next week. 

(A sort of interesting side note: I married a Theta Chi fraternity member – Greek letters are OX!)
