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…

The best present ever!!!
Today’s Fortune: A pleasant surprise is in store for you. This is the best fortune ever!! I got a package on Monday. Mom said it was for me, so I got out the scissors and cut it open. It was a birthday present from our friends Manitoba2ct and TwistedCT! They are my Auntie Brenda and Uncle Don, and they live in Connecticut with my darling Dharma. (That is why they have “CT” in their names.) I was very excited to open the box! There was a box of Converse shoes, a card with a monkey sticker, and two presents wrapped…

Calvin Klein is in Love!!
Today’s Fortune: Get ready! Good fortune comes in bunches. That is definitely a good fortune for today! Another package arrived yesterday. This one was from my Auntie Karen, and she lives in California where all the happy cows are. When I opened the box, it was my friend Praline Frogmouth!! She has never been to visit me before, but she has been wanting to come here for a long time. She decided to come for my birthday party! She brought her knitted doll with her, so she would not have to travel alone. Praline is very cute. She is hand-knitted,…

Sister Mary is in the House!!!
Today’s Fortune: Old friends are the best friends. This is a great fortune, and right at the best time! We got a package in the mail, and when I opened it up, it was my friend Sister Mary Monkeypants!! I have not seen her since she was here last summer. She has been spending the winter with our friend JollyPyrate (I call her my Aunti Naomi) in Florida, but she came in because I am having a birthday soon, and she wanted to be here for the party! I figured she would be tan from spending so much time in…

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…
