Rabbit Rabbit!

Happy March 1st everyone.  I have been terrible at blogging.  I'm sounding like a broken record repeating the obvious in every post.  Well I cant continue to promise that I'll write, but lets hope it just happens.

So does anyone else say "Rabbit Rabbit" on the first of the month before they say anything else believing that it will bring them good luck for the rest of the month, but not knowing why.  Because I do.  And I have for like 8 years now (at least tried) and today, my oatmeal and starbucks via breakfast is making me curious.

So I suppose I should start w/ why I say it.  I actually learned of it when I was a freshman and went out for new years w a group of friends.  After the new years party we all stayed at one friends house and in the morning all the girls woke up and yelled "Rabbit Rabbit".  I had never heard of that before and so I asked why, and they told me because if you say it first thing in the morning, before you say anything else, it will bring you good luck for the rest of the month.  Ever since then I have just kind of believed it.

Mmm, I tried to do some research on it, and there are a million and one different variations of it.  Some say "rabbit rabbit rabbit" some say "rabbit rabbit white rabbit".  Some say that all the people that hear you say it are who you will have good luck w/.  And some say that you must say "Rabbit Rabbit" and then greet everyone else w/ "peanuts" instead of "goodmorning" to give others good luck.

It is thought that is came from the fact that rabbits are thought to be lucky, just like a "lucky rabbits foot".  But it seems to be very unclear.  It's always fun to have something to believe in though.  So those of you who didn't know about this...don't forget to say "Rabbit Rabbit" first thing on the first of every month :)
