Fortunes, Part 3

Fortunes from the Golden Buddha, located in the Chinese Cultural Center in Phoenix, Wednesday, June 11th.

Fortune #1: Courtesy is the password to safety.

Fortune #2: Determination is the wake-up call to the human will.

Ok, first, you cannot add “in bed” on the end of the Golden Buddha’s fortunes like you can with Panda Express fortunes. It just doesn’t seem to work. Bummer. But I did learn some Chinese: pe che haou (good temper… ahem… not me [kidding]), and jian lai (in the future). Like either of those are going to help me jian lai. =p

Oh, it’s 12:09am… Happy Birthday to me! WOOT!

Ahem… right… back to the blog.

Today, I took three girls to see The Chronicles of Narnia exhibit at the AZ Science Center. I think I enjoyed it more than they did, since I took my time to look at everything and found them all waiting for me at the end, sitting on the floor. It was amazing. The display items were pieces from the films. There were bits of documentary all through the exhibit, and of course, a little store at the end where you could purchase anything from books to action figures to miniature models of the castle in “Prince Caspian”. No, I didn’t buy anything. I was working.

And my husband just called me to sing “Happy Birthday” to me. Well, he has a slightly different version of the song, involving various animals. There’s a hippo, some birdies, and a couple of ewes in the mix. He’s working overnights until Monday. He’s also a Life Skills Mentor.

Well… I can’t think at this point. I’ve just completed a full week’s worth of hours in two days from working an overnight case and I think I got about 4 hours of sleep last night. I’m amazed I got this far. No more fortunes for a while. I think I’m Chinesed out.

It’s Friday the 13th. I was born on this day 39 years ago. Now you know how I got my name. =D No, it’s not because I like the movies. I actually don’t care for them all that much. Go ahead, tell Jason… I’ve got swords… and a mean little white Argentinean Mastiff! HA! Ok, he’s curled up in a ball next to me right now while Moon the not-so-mute Malamute slumbers in the jungle of my backyard.

And now I really am babbling… Goodnight.
