• Collection Notice…..

    Today’s Fortune: Wealth is a state of mind. That is an interesting fortune for today. I let Calvin Klein open the cookie, so we are sharing this fortune. I think he did a good job of cookie choosing. I spent a lot of the day hanging out with Calvin Klein.  I introduced him to everyone.  Even Valentina.  I did not find out anything about his gang yet.  He doesn’t seem to want to talk about it much.  We played with the new sock monkey Jack-in-the-box that Dad got for Mom a few weeks ago, and then Dad spent all afternoon…

  • I meet Calvin Klein…..

    Today’s Fortune: The time is right to make a new friend. This is my best fortune so far! Today we did a lot of boring stuff. Mom went to meet somebody named “Client” and did not take me. Then Dad needed to shop for some special stuff for making “backdrops” for his photography. Mom went to the paint store. I had to sit in the car a lot today. It was not much fun, except for when we went through the car wash, which was good. We went to the fabric store, but we did not get sister stuff this…

  • Hideaway Pizza!!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are far more influential than you think. That is an interesting thought to ponder. I’m not sure how much I have influenced anyone yet. I still don’t see any other sock monkeys while I’m on my adventures, but I am hoping maybe that will change. Today I get to critique another restaurant!! Mom says people actually get paid for doing this. I will have to look into that. That sounds like the job to have. Tonight we went to a place called Hideaway Pizza.  (That little clicky thing shows the location in Stillwater, Oklahoma. That is where…

  • My Asian Adventure…..

    Today’s Fortune: An unexpected event will soon make your life more interesting. Wow!!  I don’t know how my life could get more interesting, but my fortunes are mostly right, so I will look forward to this unexpected event.  We seem to have a lot of those around here. Last weekend, after we ate at Irma’s Burger Shack, we went to the Asian market to get me some fortune cookies, because Grand House did not know that we needed one for each day of the week.  The Asian market was very cool.  We saw so many wonderful things.  It was much…

  • My E-Noro-Mous Coat….

    Oh, dear.  Poor Noah.  I’m afraid he is pouting.   All we did today was knit, and he’s not a bit happy about it.  He really hates it when it’s not all about him. I started the current hoodie/sweater/jacket/coat project a couple of weeks ago, and could really have had it finished in a few days, if we hadn’t been having so much monkey fun around here.  As it is, I have finally managed to finish the back.  About the time I cast on for this one, Noah decided he needed to have a blog and it’s been an uphill…

  • Twisted Sisters…..

    Today’s Fortune: Avoid focusing on the negative aspects of the past. That is pretty good advice. I have been seriously rethinking my decision for us to make sisters for me to play with, but I guess now that they are finished, it is too late to do anything about it, so I should just look on the bright side. After all, they are very……..um………entertaining? Early last week, we went Target to shop for sister socks.  They had a very nice selection, and I got to hang from one of those plastic things that they put socks on.  (I thought it…

  • 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…
