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…

Our Monkey Quilt Takes Shape…
Today’s Fortune: Little often makes much. This fortune is true. For several weeks now, Mom has been swapping quilt blocks with friends in her Ravelry Pincushion Group. She has made several blocks and sent them out, and we have been receiving blocks little by little. Our latest blocks came from our friend thegirlpurls. She is my Auntie Lori, and she lives in California, with all those happy cows. She sent Mom three more blocks for our quilt. Auntie Lori also sent some extra fabrics and some very pretty sparkaly copper thread that Mom will use in her projects. And she…

Rawwwwwr!!!!!!!
Today’s Fortune: Be patient. Good things come to those who wait. This is a very true fortune! Dad had to wait a few days for the new camera lens he ordered, but when it got here it was really good! It was definitely worth being patient. He ordered the new lens from a company called Photojojo. This is a neat lens. It makes photos taken with Dad’s really good Nikon camera look like they were taken with one of his old-timey toy cameras. He was very glad to get it, because now he can take digital pictures that look like…

My Cool New Friend….
Today’s Fortune: A good deed will make you feel good. I got to do a good deed yesterday. I rescued my friend Guy from the box he was trapped in. Guy is the latest visitor in our Traveling Sock Monkey group. His box arrived yesterday in the mail. It was covered with all kinds of cool stuff. Guy is the last monkey to be visiting on the TSM tour, and he is the first guy monkey we have hosted. All of the other ones have been girls. Girls are fine, but it is nice to have somebody to do guy…

I’m Dharma’s Super Hero!!
Today’s Fortune: You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend. That is good news! I can’t wait to see what I will get to do, because as far as I know, we don’t have any plans. Something different will be great fun! Speaking of great fun, I have received some wonderful gifts in the mail in the past several days! We got a belated Christmas present from our dear friend Gramma. She is my Auntie Lulu, and she lives in Brooklyn, which is in New York. She is an artist! She made us this wonderful porcelain bowl, with a…

Our Big Night Out at Big Truck Tacos!!
Today’s Fortune: In every enterprise, consider the outcome. This is very good advice. I just wish I’d gotten this fortune before I ate so much at Big Truck Tacos last night. We decided to go to Big Truck Tacos last night because they were celebrating their first night of being open with the new late hours. I read on Facebook that we should wear our Snuggies, but Mom said she did not have time to make me a Snuggie, so I decided to wear my pajamas instead. I found my pirate hat, which looks really good with my pajamas, so…
