• Hideaway Pizza!!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are far more influential than you think. That is an interesting thought to ponder. I’m not sure how much I have influenced anyone yet. I still don’t see any other sock monkeys while I’m on my adventures, but I am hoping maybe that will change. Today I get to critique another restaurant!! Mom says people actually get paid for doing this. I will have to look into that. That sounds like the job to have. Tonight we went to a place called Hideaway Pizza.  (That little clicky thing shows the location in Stillwater, Oklahoma. That is where…

  • My Asian Adventure…..

    Today’s Fortune: An unexpected event will soon make your life more interesting. Wow!!  I don’t know how my life could get more interesting, but my fortunes are mostly right, so I will look forward to this unexpected event.  We seem to have a lot of those around here. Last weekend, after we ate at Irma’s Burger Shack, we went to the Asian market to get me some fortune cookies, because Grand House did not know that we needed one for each day of the week.  The Asian market was very cool.  We saw so many wonderful things.  It was much…

  • Twisted Sisters…..

    Today’s Fortune: Avoid focusing on the negative aspects of the past. That is pretty good advice. I have been seriously rethinking my decision for us to make sisters for me to play with, but I guess now that they are finished, it is too late to do anything about it, so I should just look on the bright side. After all, they are very……..um………entertaining? Early last week, we went Target to shop for sister socks.  They had a very nice selection, and I got to hang from one of those plastic things that they put socks on.  (I thought it…

  • Critiquing Irma’s Burger Shack….

    Today’s Fortune: Others admire your independence. Well, that seems to be true, but I’m not really sure why.  I notice there are not ever any other sock monkeys at the places we visit, which is too bad, because they are really missing out on some good adventures.  Everyone likes to talk to me and ask about me,  and I make lots of friends.   Some people even say that they have never heard of a sock monkey before, which is really hard to believe. Mom said I should start telling people here on my blog about all the good food I…

  • My funny Valentine…..

    Today’s Fortune: The sun will always shine through your heart, into your smile, and warm your soul. This fortune is so true, because I have a very warm soul today!! It was a very busy day, and I had many great adventures. Way too many for one day, so I will just talk about the wonderful things that are all Valentiney. This afternoon, I got to give my Dad his Valentine present! It was a big bag of Ghirardelli chocolates. Those are square candies in three different flavors. He liked it very much, indeed!!  He shared some of them with…

  • I Heart Wal-Mart……

    Today’s Fortune: Today will be memorable. Today was not very memorable. It was actually pretty boring.  All we did today was work on the sisters.  ValenTina is impossible.  All she does is boss me around, even though I made sure she got some very sparkaly eyeshadow.   She decided today that she needed to extend her stage name.  Now she is demanding to be called “Pink Floyd/ValenTina Turner.” Tomorrow is Valentines Day and I am very excited, because this is the first year I have celebrated this holiday.  It is all about telling people you love them, which is very nice. …

  • Guts, eyeballs, and other stuff….

    Today’s Fortune: A financial investment will yield returns beyond your hopes. Wow! I can’t believe how true these fortunes are!   A few days ago, I invested in some socks to make a couple of colorful sisters for me to play with.  They are starting to take shape, and they are definitely way beyond what I had hoped for.  Mom keeps telling me, “Be careful what you wish for.”  She is very wise.  Maybe she can fill in for the guy who writes fortunes when he goes on vacation. The sisters won’t let me show pictures of them, because they…
