• My New Old Friends. . .

    Today’s Fortune: One old friend is worth ten new ones. This fortune wound up being way too mathy. And confusing. A few days ago, my Dad brought home two new old friends that he found in an antique shop. Their names are Molly and Wally, and they are so much fun! Wally is very skinny, and he has long arms and legs, and lots of fun red pompoms. Molly is very cute!  She has a beautiful mouth and long eyelashes.  Her dress is made out of something called “dotted Swiss.”  Mom says she thinks they are from the 1950s, which…

  • A Taxing Week……

    Today’s Fortune: As the purse is emptied the heart is filled. I think Mom is inclined to disagree with that fortune. Her purse is going to be mighty empty on Wednesday, and she does not seem to have a very glad heart about it. I have had almost no fun at all this week. Mom has been working on something called “taxes” all week, and it makes her very cranky.  Taxes are where you have to send away a big chunk of your money.  Mom says that we are sending them to “Uncle Sam.”  I have not met Uncle Sam…

  • Tea for Four……

    Today’s Fortune: You will receive praise for a job well done. This fortune was spot on! Dharma suggested that we have a tea party today, because we were kind of bored. Mom spent all day sewing stuff for us to wear, so she did not take us anyplace fun. I thought the idea of a tea party sounded silly, but it was what Dharma wanted, so I decided to do it right. Mom let me use her little teapot and dishes from one of her sushi sets. She also let me use some little cups that she uses for serving…

  • 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…

  • 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 funny Valentine…..

    Today’s Fortune: The sun will always shine through your heart, into your smile, and warm your soul. This fortune is so true, because I have a very warm soul today!! It was a very busy day, and I had many great adventures. Way too many for one day, so I will just talk about the wonderful things that are all Valentiney. This afternoon, I got to give my Dad his Valentine present! It was a big bag of Ghirardelli chocolates. Those are square candies in three different flavors. He liked it very much, indeed!!  He shared some of them with…

  • I Heart Wal-Mart……

    Today’s Fortune: Today will be memorable. Today was not very memorable. It was actually pretty boring.  All we did today was work on the sisters.  ValenTina is impossible.  All she does is boss me around, even though I made sure she got some very sparkaly eyeshadow.   She decided today that she needed to extend her stage name.  Now she is demanding to be called “Pink Floyd/ValenTina Turner.” Tomorrow is Valentines Day and I am very excited, because this is the first year I have celebrated this holiday.  It is all about telling people you love them, which is very nice. …
