A Fortune a Day...



It never seems to stop snowing here, never gets above freezing, and from the looks of things on the street, it has gotten to everybody and we still have 2 months left.
California living is sounding soo good right now. I wish I could ship myself out there. N probably wishes he could ship me out there. Not only did he put up with me during my ultra bad winter last year, but this year too- homebound with the knee injury, bugging him all the time, him driving me around. If he makes it through this winter with me, the guy belongs in sainthood.

To show you just how exciting my life is, this winter I have started to collect my fortunes from all my fortune cookies. Told you I'm an exciting one. Seriously though some of these fortunes have been great. I actually spent half of the first day of my job reading fortunes, as the person who had the desk before me had saved about 80 fortunes in there. Guess they were the hopeful type.

So we'll let the best of the fortunes speak on the blog today...

Time heals most wounds. Time...give it time.

There is but one cause of human failure. And that is man's lack of faith in his true self.

A thrilling time is in your immediate future. ~This one I found impossible to believe. So I added those 2 words to the end.. A thrilling time is in your immediate future in bed.


People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges.


And the best two:
There are moments when everything goes well; don't be frightened, it won't last.

What doesn't kill me makes me stranger.

Hi TCG, I read those little strips too but I like the cookies more. Hopeful is good. Just in case you run into other NYC people who are looking, Ms. W sent this along to me for you: http://www.meetup.com/jobs/community-specialists

Hope everything is good with you (yes the knee too).

These are awesome! I love "What doesn't kill me makes me stranger". HA! Mine from Sunday said "you will have many new clothes". I stuck it on the fridge :)

I'm sure N is tickled pink to have YOU to be snowed in with. It's got to be soooo annoying to have to hobble and such, but soon enough you will be good as new!

Love the last two. The last could even be interpreted one level deeper, since evolutionary changes were generally viewed as "strange" (but at least they kept the organism alive).

I just spoke with a friend out there who said the weather was less than optimal. You should use some points to come out here to SF. I just checked online and it appears that it is 68 F. I can't complain...

BTW since wine is/was a topic that pops up in this blog, did you see that Whole Foods has its answer to 2 Buck Chuck (maybe 3 bucks out there ;) )? I hear it's actually pretty good.

I like 'Time wounds all heals.' So true.

DSS- Ha! Yes, that is the best one! Thanks- hopefully he survives the winter! Glad you are doing well.

Hi Jin-good to hear from you! Yes, good point- the last could be viewed that way on a much deeper level than my little brain thinks! Thank you soo much-- that is such a great tip on the WF wine.. I had no idea. I'll haave to check at the WF on Bowery - although I have a feeling it will be 4 bucks here! Glad you are in nice warm weather.. I am envious and yes, so wanting to go out to my fave city. NYC got anaother 19 inches today! Take care and thanks again for the tip.

Blueeyes- Haha! how have you been? Good to hear from you.
