Thirteen Fortune Cookie Sayings
Thanks to Yellow Roses Garden for the banner!
I love and adore Chinese food, and blogged yesterday about how excited I was to get to go to a local place and get some Tuesday night. 🙂 My husband is more than a little burned out on it, and if he had his way, we’d probably not eat it but once or twice a year. Me, I could go 3 times a week. But, he’s sweet and takes me fairly often, even when he doesn’t want to go.  We always keep the fortunes if they are decent. I come home and enter them on our main website, Hambones.org in our Fortune Cookie section. Yes, we have a whole section for Fortune Cookies, we’re really odd that way. You can check it out here. Just click Open Fortune for the first one, and then “Open Another” to randomly scroll through some of the hundreds we have entered over the last couple of years. 🙂
Have a great day!!

Great sayings. My favorite is #2.
#13 is funny. I have one on my desk at work – “when in doubt, mumble”
#6 is one I always hear and every day I try to remind myself of it.
Cheers
I think my dh could eat chinese everyday. I like it but not that much!

Happy TT!
My favorites are 6, 8, 11, and 12. Words to live by!

All things Chinese this week! fun…..I always think the fortunes in our local restaurant are not really fortunes, so Liz always feel cheated I think!
Gotta love fortune cookies. Only thing is that I don’t eat the cookie. I just get the fortune and give the cookie to someone else.

I think #13 is written for me, although I’m not quite sure that I travel because I’m restless. I’m curious 😉
Stacy,
I just wanted to say that you are my kind of gal. I love that section of your main site. Do you know that I was recently told that I was “too thorough and boring” on my blog because I write about what we eat for dinner and such? I am not offended by this at all, b/c I really am blogging for my memories, not someone elses. Your TT was great, even though I am late reading it!
