Advice Cookies




Saturday night we got Chinese food... well, *I* went out and brought it home. Jim's still limping around and didn't want to do any more walking. So dinner and a movie became take-out and a couple episodes of 'Fringe', which we rent from My Fliks.


And of course, in the bag I found a crunchy treat for dessert.


I quickly ate it and then eagerly looked to see my fortune.


Would I meet a handsome stranger?


Would I embark on a new career that I would find immensly rewarding?


Would I come into some very welcome financial prosperity?




My hands trembled in anticipation as I turned over the tiny paper:














What? ADVICE? No peek into my future to see what wonderful adventures await, instead I got someone telling me how to live my life. (and I'm not certain it actually makes any sense.)

I felt like Ralphie excitedly decoding his spy ring message, only to be deflated when he reads it:

"What was Little Orphan Annie trying to tell me?"
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine. "Ovaltine? A crummy commercial? Son of a bitch!"
