		<title>big fortune</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We found this SmartCookie, essentially a big Magic 8 Ball-type fortune cookie, at a cool store called, Hello Portland. The fortunes aren&#8217;t very profound, but it makes a great conversation piece.

		<title>every excess becomes a vice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ &#8221;Every excess becomes a vice&#8221;
Irony of all ironies, we picked this one on Thanksgiving, our national day of gluttony.  Perhaps indulging to excess once a year, as opposed to adopting excess as a way of life, allows us to appreciate how good we have it. Even our ascetic Pilgrim forebears knew enough to revel in the abundance [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=27&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>when the time comes, take the first one on the right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This has got to be one of the weirdest fortunes I&#8217;ve ever received. It&#8217;s like something out of a spy novel.  There are so many possible scenarios where this advice could apply: the buffet table, line dancing, a shell game, a seat at the movies, the voting booth.
Bugs Bunny regretted not taking a left at Albuquerque.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=23&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>you will find yourself in a warm bath</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Under the category of things that look like fortune cookies, I came across this lavendar bath bomb that looks like an oversized purple fortune cookie. It came as part of a lavendar-themed bath set, but I discovered you can buy them individually from the Wedding Channel, packaged in a Chinese take-out style box.

&#8220;You Have at Your Command the Wisdom of The Ages&#8221;
There is a lot of great advice, modern and ancient, available to us &#8211; we have access to the insights of so many others who have walked before us.  We have the opportunity to sort through it, assimilate it, live it, if we choose.  It&#8217;s there for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=21&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>if you understand what you&#8217;re doing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
&#8220;If you understand what you&#8217;re doing, you&#8217;re not learning anything.&#8221;  We&#8217;ve all heard a thousand times that you have to get outside of your &#8220;comfort zone&#8221; in order to learn and grow, which seems to be the point of this fortune.  But the question that it does not address is, why do we value learning?  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=18&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>being faithful to a trust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[


&#8220;Being faithful to a trust brings its own reward.&#8221;
Because I have been traveling the last 10 days, I haven&#8217;t had access to my collection of fortunes. So, while in Newport, OR, I bought a box of La Choy fortune cookies.  The box says that they are &#8220;Inspired by Traditional Asian Cuisine.&#8221; Although the cookies tasted [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=16&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

I feel really fortunate to have found this rock on Nye Beach a couple of days ago. It looks just like a fortune cookie! (I added the fortune to make it look realer).

This is an unusual fortune. It&#8217;s very optimistic, and one I had never seen before. It holds out promise that: 1) It&#8217;s going to be a good day; and 2) You will be able to appreciate and capitalize on that fact. While it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=6&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>what&#8217;s this all about?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first time I had Chinese take-out with my husband, we discovered something we had in common &#8212; a tradition of collecting fortunes from fortune cookies. I saved the ones that were most poignant for that moment in my life, while he saved every single one he ever had. Together, we realized we had quite [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=missfortune.wordpress.com&blog=1588379&post=3&subd=missfortune&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
