This might be one of my greatest downfalls, I get some sort of paper product (mainly) and then set it to the side and collect it instead of throwing it away. Sometimes there is reason for it, I liked the saying written on it or I didn't have time to throw it away. There was valuable information to my identity I didn't want shared with anyone else...this is one of the reasons why I struggle with throwing receipts away. There are countless reasons to which I cannot name them all at this moment in time and plus you might find them extremely boring.
One of the many paper products that are strewn every where in my life are the fortunes from fortune cookies.
So, I admit now that I like Chinese food. The one thing I look forward to the most is the fortune cookie. Traditionally the fortune cookie is eaten last, well I like to eat my dessert first. It's weird because I have developed this habit when I eat fortune cookies. As well, I wait until I eat the entire cookie before I read the fortune. Some where placed in my vast past I came across the idea that if you didn't eat your whole fortune cookie before you read the fortune the fortune would not come true.
What am I looking for? The fortune cookie fortune to predict the future events in my life? Oh, you don't understand how much clout I give to that little fortune. You think a little piece of paper found in a cookie would mean that much to me but for some reason it does in my life. I do believe in God, yes, but I do believe in a fortune cookie fortune as well. Do that mean I'm blasphemous, maybe? Do I disbelieve in the fortune cookie god when it doesn't come to pass, meh, no. Life goes on and it was a fun little thought for half a second. But the idea that maybe God inspired a man to write down a saying and then that saying was randomly placed in a cookie that made it in my bag of food. But was it random? That is an interesting question for a different blog. Deep thoughts with fortune cookies?!
Where do these little fortunes come from, any way? I never thought about it, but for some odd reason they are all over my desk. A sad realization that I go to Panda Express way too much for my liking and for my size 4 pant size. All I have to say for those watching your weight, proportions, it does wonders! I have to admit that Chinese food and Wendy's Spicy Chicken nuggets are the down fall of my diet. I find myself off topic...
