Today’s Fortune: Your greatest fortune is the large number of friends you have. Yay!! That is a great fortune, and it is absolutely right! I have friends all over the world, and a lot of them were able to be here to help me celebrate my birthday! I am one lucky monkey! Mom said since it was my birthday, I could choose whatever I wanted to do, so I decided to have cupcakes for breakfast! Mom let me pick out my favorite one, and she put a candle in it for me to make a wish and blow out. We…

Monkey Cupcakes!!!
Today’s Fortune: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Lao Tzu I don’t know who Lao Tzu is. Maybe he is the guy who writes all the fortunes that go in my cookies. Tomorrow is my birthday party!! Me and Dharma got to make cupcakes today. Mom saw a magazine with some really good monkey cupcakes a couple of months ago. We don’t remember the name of the magazine, but you can find the instructions at tasteofhome.com. If you want to make some of these cupcakes, here is all the stuff you will need: The first…

The best present ever!!!
Today’s Fortune: A pleasant surprise is in store for you. This is the best fortune ever!! I got a package on Monday. Mom said it was for me, so I got out the scissors and cut it open. It was a birthday present from our friends Manitoba2ct and TwistedCT! They are my Auntie Brenda and Uncle Don, and they live in Connecticut with my darling Dharma. (That is why they have “CT” in their names.) I was very excited to open the box! There was a box of Converse shoes, a card with a monkey sticker, and two presents wrapped…

Today’s Fortune: Get ready! Good fortune comes in bunches. That is definitely a good fortune for today! Another package arrived yesterday. This one was from my Auntie Karen, and she lives in California where all the happy cows are. When I opened the box, it was my friend Praline Frogmouth!! She has never been to visit me before, but she has been wanting to come here for a long time. She decided to come for my birthday party! She brought her knitted doll with her, so she would not have to travel alone. Praline is very cute. She is hand-knitted,…

Today’s Fortune: Old friends are the best friends. This is a great fortune, and right at the best time!

She has been spending the winter with our friend JollyPyrate (I call her my Aunti Naomi) in Florida, but she came in because I am having a birthday soon, and she wanted to be here for the party! I figured she would be tan from spending so much time in…

The Iceman Cometh. . . . .
Today’s Fortune: Many a false step is made by standing still. I’m not sure what that fortune means, but I know that many a frozen monkey is made by standing still. When it is icy and snowy outside, it is important to keep moving. It has been pretty boring at our house for the last couple of days. That is because we were busy having an ice storm. Followed by a sleet storm. Followed by a snow storm. Mom would not let me go outside to play, because it was really slick and messy. She took this picture from the…

My Public Service Announcement….
Today’s Fortune: Today is a lucky day for those who remain cheerful and optimistic. This fortune is completely wrong. Me and Puglet are always cheerful and optimistic, but this was not the luckiest day we have ever had. Mom has been sewing all week, and she has not been any fun at all. I wanted to make some chocolate chip cookies, but she was too busy to be Adult Supervision, so me and Puglet were on our own for snacks. We got out our shopping cart and went shopping in the kitchen. We found some cheesecake flavored Jello pudding, some…
