• My Triumphant Return!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will be rewarded for your patience and understanding. This is the best fortune ever! It has been a long time since I got to blog because Mom is always too busy to be Adult Supervision. But I was patient and understanding, and I am finally back!!! For the last two months, I have not had to be a latchkey monkey! That is because of a thing called “Coronavirus.” It is also called “COVID-19.” And also a “pandemic.” The dictionary says a pandemic is where people get sick and it spreads all over the world. Mom and Dad…

  • Just Call Me Hansel . . .

    Today’s Fortune: It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. This is a very wise fortune.  I have been helping Mom with her project for school, and I am learning that back in the days when fairy tales were first written, it took courage just to get out of bed in the morning.   Mom is in a class called “Folklore” at high-college, and it is very interesting.  I do not like most of her school work, because it is stuff like Statistics (which is boring old math) and Social Problems (which is studying…

  • My Pirate Adventure!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are admired for your adventurous ways. Well, that fortune sure came true!  I got admired for my adventurous ways by a whole bunch of pirates a couple of weekends ago, and I actually get to blog about it!  In case you have been missing me, I have not been able to blog since last June.  That is when Mom decided to go back to high-college and started hogging the computer all the time.  When she is not using the computer, she is too tired to be Adult Supervision, so I have gone back to being a latchkey…

  • I Heart Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Take a trip with a friend. My fortunes always give good advice, so yesterday, I decided to take a trip with my friend Puglet to Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs. Mutt’s is a new restaurant that just opened yesterday here in Oklahoma City. It is owned by our friends Cally Johnson and Kathryn Mathis, who also own our favorite restaurant, Big Truck Tacos. We have been waiting and waiting, and we are so glad they are finally open! I figured Mutt’s would be a great place to take Puglet, because he is a mutt himself.  Things were going great…

  • Birthday Bananagins!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will soon bring joy to someone. That is a great fortune! I hope I’ll bring joy to everyone just by finally getting to blog again! It has been a month and a half since I got to blog. That is because I have been dealing with monsters non-stop since Christmas. I asked Santa to bring me monsters. Mom told me to be careful what I wished for, and boy, was she right! Monsters are a full time job. Santa brought me a nice new red sweater, monster stickers, monster stamps, and a whole package of monsters, witches,…

  • I Want Monsters for Christmas. . .

    Today’s Fortune: Your heart will always make itself known through your words. That is a really good fortune! I have been wondering how to make my heart known for a few weeks now.  I figured the best way to do it was a letter to Santa. I have a great big platter of cookies ready for Santa. This year I am asking for something pretty important, so I want him to have an extra special treat when he gets here. I also wrote him a letter. Here is what I wrote: Dear Santa; I hope you and Mrs. Claus are…

  • A Big Box from Big Monkey!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You shouldn’t overspend at the moment. Frugality is important. Well, that fortune is confusing. My last fortune said that an unexpected payment is coming my way, which was very exciting, but now I am not supposed to overspend. I am not sure what a “frugality” is, but it must be expensive if I have to save all of my quarters to get one. I will check into it, though, because if my fortune says it is important, it probably is. Speaking of important… a big box arrived at my house a couple of days ago, and it was…
