April 7, 2011 - Stupid Fortunes

Tom and I ordered Chinese for dinner and this was my fortune - stupid! Not fair! The only strong and bitter words I generally have are in response to dumb fortunes like this... ones I like to think of as "lesson fortunes" - the kind I seem to get more often than not nowadays. Yuck.

When I was younger, I always got the "good" fortunes. The kind that promised eternal happiness, vast riches, dream fulfilling successes, you know the kind. My brother, though, always got the lesson fortunes like this one. Poor Steve - I thought it was funny back then, but now I understand how maddening it must have been for him (or maybe he is a more rational person than I am and simply didn't care.)

I don't know exactly when the tone of my fortunes switched, but I'm not making this up - there was definitely a change at some point. Luckily for me, I do have almost everything I could ever want or dream of - an incredible, loving partner, a great family, wonderful friends and model-looks (ha ha just wanted to see if you were still reading.) So maybe the real "lesson" (blech) is that I don't really need more good fortune... I'm pretty happy with what I've got already!
