fortune teller
Almost every Sunday night, Mr MIP and I order Chinese food. Just a little celebration of making it through another week. And I have this little weekly ritual of eating a fortune cookie and reading the tiny slip of paper to see how my week is going to go. “You will meet someone new this week. Be ready!” “Something special is waiting around the corner for you!” “Inspiration will hit you when you least expect it.” “You should maybe not eat that burger on Thursday.” (Just kidding on that last one.) The thing is, I’m a little freaked right now, because tonight’s fortune cookie…
had no fortune.
Please tell me what this means! Or, write me a fortune to renew my hope.
*Sorry, I had to add music back. I just HAD to. If it annoys you, or potentially gets you fired from your job, just scroll down all the way to the bottom and turn the music off.

I got a fortune one time that said “You need to improve your exercise routine.” That would obviously not apply to you though.
On another occasion, a bunch of us from work went out for Chinese for lunch. My fortune said “Your friends will be a great help to you next month.” This came on August 28th, the day after my place of employment announced they would be eliminating positions as a cost cutting measure. Somebody asked, “what do you have going on next month that we don’t know about?” I responded, “hopefully not looking for a new job!”

Out eating once with my father-in-law (who also happened to be my pastor), he received the fortune, “Your future is in the offering”. It obviously was supposed to be written “offing”. Truth nonetheless.

I don’t know about Steve, but I never get to see my fortune cookie because a certain KellY I know eats them both before I know where they are! How’s that for fortune?

This only means there was a malfunction somewhere in the cookie making process and that you got ripped off.
However, there is a wise Chinese proverb that states, “If one is fortunate enough to find no fortune in fortune cookie, only the smile of happiness will cross their face until they open their next fortune cookie and find what path to take.”
That song creeped me out.

like, creeped you out, like surprised you? or creeped you out by it’s… essence?
i was looking more for a fortune like, “cubs will win”
that would relieve me.

I don’t know about Kelly’s with an I, I hear they are shady and don’t deserve fortune’s!
