Well, we had Chinese food for lunch at the office today, and, as is custom, it came with a Fortune Cookie.  Everybody else got things such as "You will come into money soon", or "Many people find you sexy, you sexy beast, you", or even "You will get your work done on time".  So, being the last to eat, I got pretty excited about my possible fortune, since those others were pretty sweet.  I quickly finished my lunch (Sweet and Sour Pork) and rushed to my fortune cookie.  Many people might ask why I just didn't rush into the cookie first thing, but that would break the whole fortune cookie karma thing, and it would ruin the fortune!  So, I gingerly open my cookie as not to get crumbs all over the new carpet and with shaking fingers, I pulled my fortune from the now open cookie and began to read... "You will have a romantic evening".  Not bad, not bad at all.  It's Monday AND a school night, but when I get a chance at a romantic evening, I'm not about to complain.  That'll do just fine.

So, I go back up to my office, whistling the entire way all jazzed about my now great looking evening potential.  As I'm walking up the stairs, my coworkers call out saying that I sound like I'm pretty happy, and I just casually yell back saying that yes, I may not have won the lottery, but I have something even BETTER then 150 million dollars, Super Mega Dad has a romantic evening coming to him!  It's mentioned that it's a school night, not to mention, it's "Heros" night tonight, but I just scoff at everybody's apparent lack of faith in the power of the fortune cookie as I skip that much faster up the stairs!  I sit down at my desk and I decide to call up Super Mega Mommy and let her know about my incredible luck and that I'm due a romantic evening tonight as per the fortune cookie and to find out what she has planned for me, and I'm greeted with a very sick, very sad sounding voice.  "Super Mega Dad, I don't feel so good.  I think I have food poisoning." I hear from across town over my phone.  My vision starts to blur as a I croak out "NO, it can't be!  The fortune cookie says I'm getting all romanticized tonight!  The fortune cookie NEVER lies.  My coworkers are going and getting lottery tickets as we SPEAK.  I have another one that is finishing up work ON TIME for the first time EVER, and another is looking pretty good today!", "Sorry, SMD, I REALLY, REALLY don't feel so good, I think I might just go home and lay down."  I hang up the phone after a mumbled "I hope you feel better soon, love you." and just lay my poor head down on my desk.  I probably lay there for a good fifteen to twenty minutes before I just finish out my day under autopilot.

So now what?  The fortune cookie promised me a romantic evening and here I sit just writing on my blog AND watching Heros (save the cheerleader!) at the same time (I'm multi-tasking that way)!  My whole world has been shaken to the core.  First, the fortune cookies are dead wrong, what comes next?  That poor guy in Nigeria that I sent my bank account information doesn't come through with the five million dollars he promised me?  This just isn't possible!

Stupid fortune cookie! 

Or maybe it was just a bum cookie!  Or maybe I got the wrong one!  I bet I was supposed to get the sexy beast one, because, as we ALL know, I AM a pretty sexy beast, if I say so myself!   I just grabbed the wrong one from the stack! My poor sucker CEO, he's probably wandering around at home thinking he's a sexy beast when HE should be getting the romantic evening tonight.  Boy, is HE missing out.  He could be having an awesome night, but NOOOO, he picked the wrong fortune cookie!  I bet he's just sitting there watching Heros, thinking he's ALL that, when in REALITY, it's ME that's ALL that. Well, I'll just sit here in my sexy beast awesomeness then.  We can't have BOTH of us miserable because we got the wrong fortune cookies.  I'll just let him know tomorrow what he missed out on.

Hmmm, really makes you think, doesn't it?  And NORMALLY, my CEO doesn't even EAT the fortune cookies, so I was probably supposed to get the sexy beast cookie TODAY, and then get the romantic evening one tomorrow as a left over!  I'm going to go and wake up Super Mega Mommy RIGHT NOW and let her know!

That's GOT to be it.
