Fortune #34.

Another very accurate one.

I have much confidence that I will be able to finish this bag of MiniEggs.

Fortune #33.

Oui, c'est vrai.

Fortune #32.

This one better be about the f@#king weather.

Fortune #31.

According to the US World Population Clock, as of March 27, this means that there are 6,908 people like me on this planet. We should have a meet-up. Now that would be a party.

Also: Yes, I am a unique and special snowflake. Just like everybody else.

Fortune #30.

This one is pretty close to the truth.

Just add: "to your own detriment" to the end and it's perfect.

Fortune #29.

Not that there's anything wrong with the old ones...

Fortune #28.

An excellent excuse to show-off my favourite tattoo.

And to remind myself that I really need to get a couple more.

Fortune #27. A double.

Fortune #26.

Forgive the (potential) pun but I was so excited to get these "homegrown" eggs from a co-worker today.

Fortune #25: "Your luck has been completely changed today"

This weekend was sunny and warm. Much of the snow melted. I left the house wearing sneakers to walk to work. It started to snow.

It stopped snowing and I went for a run. Most of my running trail was under water, serving as a swimming spot for Canadian geese.

I'm wondering what the rest of the day will bring.

Fortune #24.

One of my New Year's resolutions was to have more meals with friends. Probably one of my most successful and enjoyable resolutions to date.

Fortune #23.

So cliche, but I could only think of this that it meant doing my best to be a parent without fucking my kid up.

Fortune #22.

In keeping with the spirit of this fortune, we spent a wonderful night visiting with friends and then I came home and promptly fell asleep.

Fortune #21.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Though I'm mostly Scottish, I figure I should celebrate with some Bailey's on behalf of a similarly repressed-by-the-Brits country.

Fortune #20.

This is probably true on most days. Other days, like today, I'd sell my kid's soul to not have to make student loan payments anymore.

Fortune #19.

The last person to knock on our door was one of those dodgy energy sales guys.

Not so fortuitous I think.

Fortune #18.

I'm really having a hard time imagining how we possibly managed to DOUBLE our Internet bill in a single month.

Rogers and I will be having a nice chat soon.

Fortune #16

Somehow the first thing this made me think of was traveling through Europe in the winter while in the first trimester of a pregnancy: Worst. Vacation. Ever.

Actually, I'm not much for travelling at the best of times really. I travel mainly to remind myself how much I like my own bed.

Fortune #15.

I'm thinking this has everything to do with the meatza I'm making for dinner tonight and the bottle of fancy whisky my father bought me.

Thank fucking god it's Friday.

Fortune #14.

A two-in-one.

Photo taken on March 10 but not posted until 2:45am on March 11.

Edit: seems I could have lied about missing a day since apparently my blog time-stamp is set to a different time zone.

Fortune #13.

On the other side, in English, the fortune reads: "Your winsome smile will be your protection".

I like Google's version better.

Fortune #12.

For some reason, the fact that my whole life my mother has been fond of saying to me "you always have to learn things the hard way" comes to mind.

Monday, March 7, 2011

Fortune #11.

Appropriately difficult to photograph, it reads: "Your future is as boundless as the lofty sky."

Fortune #9.

I think it's safe to say that anyone who's ever met me would get a chuckle out of this one.

Fortune #8.

I know this fortune is meant to be very motivational and "up with people" but it makes me a little paranoid.

Of course, that could be because this week as been a write-off in terms of accomplishing meaningful work-related stuff and things. I blame sleep deprivation.

Also, I really need to put on some nail polish. Ghastly.

Fortune #7.

Thanks for the reminder Jen.

This type of advice always makes me think of the cover headlines in magazines like Cosmopolitan. You know, eye-grabbing taglines for the sorts of articles that purport to tell you "what men really want in bed". Articles recommending spontaneously introducing certain acts and/or equipment and/or other people. Specifically the types of things that most of the men I've personally known would be extremely unhappy about being surprised with. Good intentions or not.

Sometimes a little conversation beforehand is a good thing.

Fortune #6.

For some reason, I think I'm really going to enjoy this new bag of fortune cookies.

Tuesday, March 1, 2011


Fortune #5.

A double already?!

Apparently I should have invested in a better box of fortune cookies.
