A former co-worker introduced me to this delightful little ritual. On the first day of the month, the very first words out of your mouth when you awaken should be, "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit." If you do this, you will have good luck all month long.
If you forget, the last words you speak before you go to sleep that night should be, "Tibbar, tibbar, tibbar" (that's Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit, spoken backwards).
I keep a sticky note in my bedside drawer to place on the face of my alarm clock on the last night of the month. One of my Yahoo Groups calendars automatically sends out a reminder each month.
Does it work? Who knows? But, on New Year's Day, even before saying "Happy New Year!", both the Y Chromo and I said, "Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit," at the stroke of midnight. A week or so later, he landed the part in the school play he wanted, and I signed with my literary agent. Coincidence? Maybe. Or not.
"Make it a rule of life never to regret and never to look back. Regret is an appalling waste of energy; you can't build on it; it's only good for wallowing in." Katherine Mansfield

Aw, shucks, Dorothy. ::blush::
If the rabbit is the car, would that make it a Volkswagon?
What else, Oh Queen-A? Altho' I'm seeing the phrase "bunnies" a lot on CNY's e-mail loop. Took me a few messages to figure out what they meant. Okay, I'm slow!
