Easy Rider. . .
Today’s Fortune: Happy news is on its way to you. I sure wish that happy news would hurry up and get here, because it has not been very fun at my house for the last week. Mom has been busy doing something she calls “Spring Cleaning.” Spring cleaning means that sock monkeys do not have any fun at all, and if we don’t keep a low profile, we wind up having to help. Mom has spent the past five days organizing all of her yarn. We were smart. We stayed out of the way. She finally finished that project and…

To Dye For. . .
Today’s Fortune: Your flair for the creative takes an important place in your life. I guess that fortune is right, but I think my flair for fun takes a more important place in my life. I wish I would get some fortunes about fun instead of creativity. We have been creative enough for a while. Last week, Mom was finishing up projects for Ravelympics. She got some nice yarn from our friend Galeu for Christmas. Galeu is my Auntie Gale, and she lives in California. A lot of my Aunties live in California. I hope I can go see them…

Coming Unraveled!!!
Today’s Fortune: Your artistic talents win the approval and applause of others. This is so true. Dharma and I have been helping Mom compete in the Ravelympics! Ravelympics is just like the Olympics, only with yarn. And no snow. Ravelympics is taking place on Ravelry. That is Mom’s favorite place to hang out. The Ravelympics started at the same time as the Olympics, and they will have their closing ceremonies tonight. They have all kinds of events that you can compete in. Mom decided to enter the Aerial Unwind, Downhill Dying, and WIPs Dancing events. I asked if I could…

I am an Entrepreneur!!!
Today’s Fortune: Your money worries are over! Your new job will bring you a huge increase in income. This fortune could not be better timed! I am now an “entrepreneur.” That means I have started a new business. I am glad I have had business cards for a while, now, because they will probably come in handy. Just before Christmas, Mom let me make sock monkey magnets to send to all of our Ravelry and sock monkey friends. I made a whole fridge full of them, and they turned out really good. After mailing out all of my Christmas cards,…

Monkey Valentines!!!
Today’s Fortune: Good luck is a result of good planning. I think my fortune is right about that. Today is Valentine’s Day, which I have been planning for a while now, and it turned out great! We have been receiving Valentines all week! We got Valentines from our friends Pat, Barb, Lori, Dawn, Lulu, and Anna, and I got one from my Grandma and Grandpa, too! Some of them were handmade, and some of them had neat stuff in them. We loved them all!! Mom has been working on “Ravelympics” stuff for a couple of days now. Ravelympics is like…

Happy Birthday to Me!!!
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…
