• 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…

  • Me and my Priority life…

    Today’s Fortune: Today will be pleasant, your life will be prosperous. That fortune is so true. This was a very, very pleasant and prosperous day, indeed! I got up very early this morning so I could make a Valentine to send to my friend Dharma Marmalade. She lives in a place called “Connecticut”. Mom showed me where it is on a map. It is very far away, but I might visit there someday. Mom got out all kinds of pretty paper, glue, crayons and scissors for me, so I could be very creative. I worked really hard and made a…

  • Tornado Tuesday….

    Today’s Fortune: A pleasant surprise is in store for you. I’m still waiting for that one to come true.  I spent the whole afternoon cooped up with three cats under a mattress in the hall, because we had something called a “Tornado Warning”.   There was lots of lightning, rain, and thunder.  Big ice chunks fell from the sky all afternoon.  Mom said that stuff was called “hail.”  She wouldn’t let me go outside to watch, so I missed everything!  She took a couple of pictures of the TV coverage so I could at least see what was going on. Hopefully…

  • Fortune Cookie Friday….

    Last Friday morning, Mom dragged me away from the mirror, and tucked me in her tote bag.  When I asked where we were going, she just said, “Field trip.”  I had no idea what that was, but I liked the sound of it!  I thought we might be taking a picnic basket to a nice field where we could hang out and maybe see some cows or goats or wheat or something.  Instead, she took me to a place called Gourmet Yarn Co. It was okay, at first.  When we got inside the store, they had a really big basket…
