C'est la Vie!

So Lola just completed her fifth consecutive night of working her graveyard-shift part-time job. Now, she is officially on vacation! And angels rejoiced... In less than 48 hours, she will be on a plane to Europe. The occasion? Lola is going to France! Whilst there, she will sing at a friend's wedding, visit Bordeaux, and go to Paris. Life is tough, isn't it? At any rate, Lola will (most likely) be unable to regale her 3 readers with new blog entries until after she gets home (for, as a general rule, she is too cheap to pay for internet access at a cafe). So fare thee well for the next two weeks, until Lola Writes Again.

Fortune Cookies

I have often thought of fortune cookies as odd little nuggets of wisdom, randomly inserted into tasteless cookies. In fact, I don't like the actual cookie, I just like reading what's inside (I do believe that makes me a geek). There's the adage that you should insert "In bed" at the end of every fortune. Which makes some of mine quite entertaining:

You are welcome in any gathering.
The answers are right in front of you.
And, my personal favorite:
You have secret talents you should share.

Anyhow, long ago I used to save all the really good ones and tape them to my computer screen. I have since ditched the screen, but still have most of the fortunes. I am thinking it is either time to write a short story, or a book comprised entirely of fortunes from cookies. I used to think that the writers of these fortunes were nutters with too much spare time on their hands. Now I am just hoping they are right.
