Year of the Monkey

Happy Chinese New Year! Gung Hay Fat Choy!

According to the forecast on Honolulu's Chinatown site, the Year of the Monkey will be the best year for Snakes, but a difficult year for Tigers, Pigs and Dogs. For Tigers, like myself, the horoscope predicts the new year will cause setbacks, bring criticism and point out weaknesses. Sounds like fun.

This week's Theme Thursday challenge is Monkeying Around. This was the first (and only) monkey I came across. Every year, my sister and I each receive a wall scroll calendar from my mom, who either buys them up in San Francisco or secures them by other means (most likely from the optometrist or one of her regular Chinese restaurants).
