• Just Call Me Hansel . . .

    Today’s Fortune: It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. This is a very wise fortune.  I have been helping Mom with her project for school, and I am learning that back in the days when fairy tales were first written, it took courage just to get out of bed in the morning.   Mom is in a class called “Folklore” at high-college, and it is very interesting.  I do not like most of her school work, because it is stuff like Statistics (which is boring old math) and Social Problems (which is studying…

  • My Pirate Adventure!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You are admired for your adventurous ways. Well, that fortune sure came true!  I got admired for my adventurous ways by a whole bunch of pirates a couple of weekends ago, and I actually get to blog about it!  In case you have been missing me, I have not been able to blog since last June.  That is when Mom decided to go back to high-college and started hogging the computer all the time.  When she is not using the computer, she is too tired to be Adult Supervision, so I have gone back to being a latchkey…

  • I Heart Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs!!!

    Today’s Fortune: Take a trip with a friend. My fortunes always give good advice, so yesterday, I decided to take a trip with my friend Puglet to Mutt’s Amazing Hot Dogs. Mutt’s is a new restaurant that just opened yesterday here in Oklahoma City. It is owned by our friends Cally Johnson and Kathryn Mathis, who also own our favorite restaurant, Big Truck Tacos. We have been waiting and waiting, and we are so glad they are finally open! I figured Mutt’s would be a great place to take Puglet, because he is a mutt himself.  Things were going great…

  • I Want Monsters for Christmas. . .

    Today’s Fortune: Your heart will always make itself known through your words. That is a really good fortune! I have been wondering how to make my heart known for a few weeks now.  I figured the best way to do it was a letter to Santa. I have a great big platter of cookies ready for Santa. This year I am asking for something pretty important, so I want him to have an extra special treat when he gets here. I also wrote him a letter. Here is what I wrote: Dear Santa; I hope you and Mrs. Claus are…

  • A Big Box from Big Monkey!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You shouldn’t overspend at the moment. Frugality is important. Well, that fortune is confusing. My last fortune said that an unexpected payment is coming my way, which was very exciting, but now I am not supposed to overspend. I am not sure what a “frugality” is, but it must be expensive if I have to save all of my quarters to get one. I will check into it, though, because if my fortune says it is important, it probably is. Speaking of important… a big box arrived at my house a couple of days ago, and it was…

  • Bedlam at Uncle Phil’s House!

    Today’s Fortune: Keep up the good work. You will be rewarded. I sure hope this fortune comes true. I have been keeping up all of my good work, and I haven’t been rewarded much at all. In fact, Mom has been so busy that I haven’t even had a chance to blog for nearly a whole month. A lot has been going on around here, and I have a lot to blog about, if Mom will just take her job as Adult Supervision seriously for a while. Last night, we went to Uncle Phil and Aunt Karon’s house for a…

  • My Creepy Pumpkins!!!

    Today’s Fortune: You will enjoy doing something different this weekend. Another great fortune! It’s not every weekend that I get to carve a pumpkin or get dressed up for Halloween! I got out all of my carving tools and my pumpkins, and set up in the kitchen to start my jack-o-lanterns. I carved out the lids of both of the pumpkins, just like I did when I carved my sock monkey jack-o-lantern pumpkin last year. These pumpkins were much thicker and much fresher than the ones we bought at the grocery store last year. Mom says there’s no telling how…
