Fortune cookies.
[mentally] mess me up.
Yesterday's fortunes were no exception.
The first one I opened said this:
Then the second one I opened said this:
I guess this is why they are so stingy on "one per person" at Chinese food places?!
So where does it leave me on this?
Come on . . . it really is somethin' "special".
Okay, f i n e .
I'll sell it.
Soooooooooooooooooooo,
Does anyone know where I can buy a "PR"?
No?! o k a y .
Off to Tucson. Happy Saturday, My Friends.

did you know that I am a recovering handbag addict?
DO NOT TEMP WITH WITH THE UNSPEAKABLE.
My lovelies used to have their own room (prehusband/kid).
I guess the FC's mean get it if it's on sale :)
JL. Hmmm jury is out. I so do not need another purse but it was on a HUGE sale. ;)
But you win. I never had a purse "room".
YTB!!
HA!! Funny. Good luck in Tucson!
The second fortune is the most recent and thus Trumps the first fortune making it irrelevant
D
Agree with DRog on the fortunes. Have a fantastic run! You don't need to buy a PR, you'll do it!
DRog. it's done. I'm keeping it. you. said. so. awesome. ;)
Johann. all. smiles. thanks.
- Go Rock the hell out of Tucson!
- I agree with the PITA on what he more than likely told you about the bag (-:
- I immediately deleted the email you send me about the bag so my wife would not see it (Jeff needs a new bike).
- Now I need to figure out how to block your blog from her internet browser to prevent seeing the pic of said bag.
- And one more time: Rock the hell out of Tucson!
Jeff. I follow. hER. Blog. Annie & I email daily.
"Jeff needs a new bike"....my dead toenail he does. ;)
DO NOT sell that bag. It is soooo awesome.
Good luck tomorrow!
I'll give you five American dollars.
I agree with the others, keep the bag!
Good luck in Tucson!! You are going to ROCK!
that's a REALLY nice purse! Believe in the #2 fortune cookie! ;p
Husband and I both got the same fortune on the same night right after we got up the nerve to quit our jobs and start a new business:
"You will be unusually successful in business."
11 years later, both fortunes are still taped to my monitor at my desk where I still work at our unusually successful business :-)
lol!@ jens comment totally cracked me up...BUT i agree,the FC was telling you to buy that purse on sale...
and you did! :)
good luck at Tuscan,i have no doubts you will rock it out sister!
Pam. Hilarious. Sorry but maybe for $5 Canadian dollars?!
Julie. I. Love. That. Thanks for sharing. Too. Awesome.
Oh man. I LOVE handbags. But a handbag room? Awesome.
Good luck in Tucson - just show them your abs and they'll all be afraid. You are TOUGH! And FAST!
Sending the best vibes ever for Tucson.
Hope the race is AMAZING!!!
Knowing you, it will be for sure!!
Good luck in Tucson! I say if you PR, you get to keep the bag. And if you don't, maybe just keep it as a consolation prize!
Good Luck in Tucson!
Sell it to Pita and he can give it to you for Christmas. Problem solved.
Keep the purse..come on!!!
Good luck in Tucson!!!
did I say keep the purse?
KEEP THE PURSE!
Yay Caroline!!
Thank you!! ;)
Funny! Get the bag as a reward for Tucson - it's so-o-o nice! Have a great time!
I know you love to shop, but the last thing you need to BUY is a PR. have fun!
My race # is 911!!
H e l p!
E m e r g e n c y !!
Tuscan Q or Tucson?
Crazy...we just had Chinese Food the other night too!
My fortune cookie read:
"EMZ is gonna rock the SH** out of Tucson"
Smash it like a mens BQ.
Tucson...sorry
I jump online real-quick to wish you luck and this is waht I get?
what I get?
Finally got caught up on your blog. I heart it! It is one of the few things I can count on to make me smile. SOOO many comments I could make, but I'm just gonna go with a heartfelt GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!!
I'm with the Treat yourself!
You better keep the bag! 18 days of relatives. That's all I'm sayin'
EMZ!
You goooo girl!
what i think you should do to merit the purse it this... run w/the dang thing at your race and you're assured a PR baby!
rock it girl;)
Aren't you supposed to put the words "in bed" after a fortune cookie's words of wisdom? But I'd keep the purse anyway ;-)
Karen - love. That. You. Are so. Awesome.
OMG! I love that freaking handbag!! Love it! I can't control myself when I walk through Macy's....I am getting a new one for Christmas:)
Funny about the fortune messages:)
I hope that you have a great day Emily!
BEAUTIFUL PURSE!!! I can't wait for your race recap. You don't need to buy a PR, you've got this one:)
So the second fortune makes more sense when you add "in bed" to the end. Hope your every dream for the race came true, except for the firemen responding to your 911.
Talk about contradicting fortunes - the second one sounds so much more enticing.
You knew I wasn't waitn' for no RR.
Strong race girl...Congrats.
Go EMZ go!
um. that 1st fortune. yeah. i had it and my 1st thought was "sooo are they trying to tell me NOT to buy that marc jacobs bag?!"
ummm...yeah...I'll take 2nd in my age group any day!
I agree, you should go with the most recent fortune :)
GO EMZ!!!!
Hope you had fun in Tucson!
I think you have the right to choose which fortune to follow....
Would you hurry up and tell us how it went today already?!?!
Okay, okay. TEN American dollars. You're breakin' my balls here. haha
I can't bring myself to spend a lot of $ on purses. My friend M bought a new Michael Kors bag and wallet while we were in Vegas. She was torn between the LV and the MK but decided to go with the MK because those are her initials. She said it was a sign. LOL I'd like to have one of those, too, but I'm kind of a fan of paying the mortgage.
Now, seriously, get your butt back here and tell us about today!
Just pretend you never opened fortune cookie number one! ;) That solves it. ;)
I. Sucked.
Grouchy. Sad. Disappointed.
3:26.
And more sore [today, by far] than my 50 miler. ?! WTH?
I was smiles by finish line.
I.
Am
Killing.
January RnR. That's all. I. Can. Say.
Um...actually you did amazing. You blazed the first 10k...and you were right on point at about the half. We all know that the last part is where the unicorns are. 3:26...there is nothing sucky about it...and you should not feel grouchy or sad or disappointed with this race at all.
get some rest...you've got a few more killer training sessions to squeeze in before January. You have a crazy advantage now that you have another race so close...and I know and YOU know that your PB is waiting for you to pick it up at the finish line in January.
Again...you did awesome Em...nice work.
Agree with Q you did great.
Anytime you get a PODIUM FINISH you are not allowed to be grouchy crabby in any way! Nice 2nd in your AG! podium in a marathon is HUGE!!!!!!
I'd say you actually overcame huge adversity with that bib number you had:)
Now that it's over, fess up....what this marathon was really about was getting your tick sheet 1 more than mine :)
1month!
D
I just wanted to mention, you are supposed to follow whatever fortune cookie you read with "in bed". They often make more sense that way...Or not.
You can buy a PR giving your bib to a faster runner! If it is possible to be faster than you.
LOL, can those two fortunes contradict each other any more!!
As for your AZ question, well.... ummm... I usually visit at xmas time, def not between the months of may thru sept (do you blame me), so I wont be in AZ till next holiday season.
Of course, I can can be bribed into racing, how about a half ironman, I will do the 56 mile bike and you can run the half mary and we just have to find a swimmer.
second place in your AG!
just amazing ... but expected that you would be at the top
you are an inspiration
Oh fortune cookies. Most days, I think they are ridiculous, but one day this summer, the BF and I went out for dinner, and his fortune cookie fortune said "We are very happy together". :)
Holy Cr@p, you have a blog title from the Smiths? Another running 80's music fan...can't be true. Nice follow up with They Might Be Giants. I will have to go through your older posts to see some other titles; there must be a "Go" or "movement of fear" Tones on Tails (although that may be better for SUAR).
