• Official Monkey Business….

    Today’s Fortune: Let there be magic in your smile and firmness in your handshake. That’s a pretty good fortune. I think I have a magical smile already, but I might need some practice on the handshake.  I just found out that a good handshake is very important.  Especially now that I am ready for Official Monkey Business. I have noticed that when I am out and about, doing the stuff I do, most people seem to want to know all about me.  It’s probably that magical smile thing. Every time people ask about me, Mom tells them about my blog,…

  • Dear John Deere……

    Today’s Fortune: You are quiet, adaptable, and sensitive to others. Today was not the funnest day ever, but I did not complain. I was just quiet and adaptable. This morning, Mom went to see another person called “Client”. This one was different from the one she saw yesterday. They all seem to have the same name, and when I do get to go, I have to stay in the Suburban, so I never get to meet them. Staying in the Suburban is no fun at all. When she was finally done with her meeting, Mom took me to a place…

  • 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…
