• Aaarrggh, Mateys!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are far more influential than you think. Boy, I sure hope this fortune is true.  It took a lot of convincing to get Mom to let me blog today.  She said I could, but only if I’m quick about it, because she will have dinner ready in a little while.  I haven’t been able to blog for over a week this time.  I hope my friends don’t think I’ve disappeared.  Maybe I can influence her to let me have a lot of blog time this week. I have so much to talk about, I don’t even know…

  • According to my calculations….

    Today’s Fortune: You will be traveling and coming into a fortune. That is exciting news!! I have several trips coming up, so I know the traveling part will come true. And if the fortune part happens, I am ready. Mom bought me a big orange calculator, so I will be able to keep track of my fortune. Even though I don’t have a fortune yet, I am already making good use of my giant calculator.  I use it when I conduct Official Monkey Business. I have spent the last week adding up all kinds of important numbers.  Here are just…

  • Moms and Tractor Blankets…..

    Today’s Fortune: This weekend will afford you personal opportunity. Very true. Today is Mother’s Day. This is a day to be grateful for your Mom, and do nice things for her. I am very thankful for my Mom, because she does all kinds of good stuff for me.  Today, I am helping her make sock monkeys. We have a bunch of them that are underway. We have had a mostly uneventful weekend, and I have spent most of it just resting. Me and Cujo and the new pugs have been enjoying our new John Deere tractor blanket. Mom says it is…

  • A Sticky Situation….

    Today’s Fortune: Some quick thinking will get you out of a sticky situation. I hope this fortune does not come true. We have a very sticky situation here, and I am rather fond of it. My Mom has been buying all kinds of stickers for me! I got them all out the other day, and was nearly buried underneath a mountain of them. My cat Smokey helped me with them. Mom said I could not keep all of the stickers, because she is going to use some of them, and send some of them to her Ravelry friends.  She said…

  • With Great Power, Comes Great Fun……

    Today’s Fortune: You will always be surrounded by friends. This is good news, but I already pretty well figured that out. We keep getting the best stuff in the mail from our friends! Late last week, a squishy package arrived in our mailbox. It was from our friend Packrat400, who is also called Cheryl. Mom said she thought it was for me!! When I opened it up, there was a very nice card and a very pretty felted heart pin.  Those were for Mom.  The part that was for me was a guy named Mike Bison!!  He is something called…

  • Monet and Monkeys….

    Today’s Fortune: Happy news is on its way to you. Another great fortune!!  I can’t wait to see what happy news I get next!   It seems like happy news just follows me around.  I got lots of happy news over the last week or so.   It all came in the mailbox. First, I got some wonderful yarn from our friend Deborah.  Deborah is from a wonderful magical place called yarnmarket.com.  Yarn Market has every kind of yarn you can think of, plus they also have patterns, books, kits, needles and hooks.  They probably have everything in the Yarniverse there!  …

  • Down on the farm…..

    Today’s Fortune: If your desires are not extravagant, they will be granted. I love it when my fortunes give me me good news! I had to look up “extravagant”. It means “exceeding the bounds of reason, as actions, demands, opinions, or passions.” I think pretty much everything I want is within reason, except maybe the big John Deere tractor, so it sounds like I am going to have my desires granted! My desires were definitely granted last week. Mom bought me a whole package of farm animals! They are plastic, and they are very, very good. I got pigs, and…
