fortune cookie

October 8th, 2006 at 03:33 am

Saturday morning, DH and I mixed it up and had dim sum at the Hakka Chinese place. (25$) Good, but not celestial. Anyway, this is what I got in my fortune cookie--

"Next month will be your most profitable month of the year."

I'm taking that as a sign that there will be movement on the second property.

I've always gotten great fortune cookie fortunes, no matter the situation. Eating by myself, eating in large parties where you pick the cookie that points to you. I've never gotten confusing ones, or evil ones, and I never needed the "in bed" phrase to make one of those slips entertaining. One of those karmic quirks, I guess.

Bought a couple of months worth of canned cat food for my now-19 year old cat. 23$. We used the self-checkout line; the checkout voice noting "cat food" drove DH insane. And yet I must be even more optimistic this year than last.

72$ for groceries - I bought a cartload this time, and we also got meat and cold medicine which always hikes things up a bit. There was a great deal on frozen corn, peas, and green beans - .78/lb.

Last night I got out of the bath and as I ran through the skin care ritual (slapping on a fair amount of body lotion), I took a look at myself in the mirror.

Actual, genuine booty.

It was a bit like seeing an old friend at a college reunion, aged a tad from celluite, but you could see the resemblance and "she" brought back great memories.

    Hey I would like a look in that magic mirror of yours! I vaguely seem to recall a rather hot looking chick who didn't know exactly how hot she actually was at the time! I'd like to meet up with her again now that I'm a little wiser and more self-confident. Really, I've seen pictures of her - she was SMOKIN' HOT and didn't have a CLUE!!

    AND, how did all you other girls know you had it going on (AND HOW TO USE IT) while I was clueless???

    For that reason alone, I'd like do-overs please!

    Yeah, I just ran across some old pictures of myself. I was a babe and I thought I was plain. Funny, other people tried to tell me and I didn't believe them! I'll never look like that again, but at least now I have the sense to appreciate what looks I do have left.

    Yeah, isn't that funny? You know as young women we all compared ourselves to each other - we were our own worse critics. We didn't realize that we were comparing ourselves to a trick standard (magazines, dress designers). And if an older woman (+30) tries to tell you about it, you wouldn't believe them. Bull headedness of the young.

    I wouldn't say that I ever had it completely going on, but I always knew that as long you had the body basics, and if you had the wit, intelligence, and self confidence, you could have a LOT of fun in college. I thought nothing of asking guys to dance with me and I was very rarely turned down.
