&lt;p align=center&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#000080"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666ff;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666ff;font-family:'Palatino Linotype'"&gt;Your winsome smile will be your sure protection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6666ff;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Fortune cookies can be so full of it, sometimes.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Comic Sans MS" color="#008000" size=3&gt;Yes, my “winsome” smile is back, despite a rather trying couple of days.&lt;span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;I was sorely tempted to crawl back in bed this morning; &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li style="color:green;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;My foot was particularly painful when I got out of bed &amp;amp; I found that we’re out of Ibuprofen;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;li style="color:green;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The sun was brightly shining after 4 days of pouring rain, but for the life of me, I couldn’t find my sun glasses (I &lt;u&gt;have&lt;/u&gt; to wear them when I drive- tis the reason I have almost no wrinkles); &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;li style="color:green;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;I tossed some sheets into the dryer just before leaving the house; I stopped in the kitchen to drink the dregs of my morning tea &amp;amp; thought to myself “There is an awful lot of thumping going on in the dryer” &amp;amp; started out to the car. Then I heard a wee, small “Mew”. Coming from the laundry room. OMG- the @#$%$*#@ &lt;i&gt;&lt;u&gt;CAT&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is in the dryer! I pulled Dahlia out (who else would be that dumb), panting &amp;amp; eyes rolling, but none the worse for wear.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;li style="color:green;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Walked out to my car in the driveway, put my stuff in the back seat, started the car &amp;amp; backed up of the driveway… something felt weird; put the car in park &amp;amp; walk around in front- flat tire. (Fortunately, we have an air compressor in the garage- I was only 15 minutes late)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;li style="color:green;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Got to work with a blinding headache (having to squint while driving across town); went to turn on my little Zen fountain &amp;amp; meditate a little… nothing. It’s dead. ARGH!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Turns out, it was not just me; everyone in the back office was having the same kind of morning. I told them there is some bad mojo going on &amp;amp; we need to either close up for a Mental Health day, or call Feng Shui master to realign the office &lt;i&gt;chi.&lt;/i&gt; Needless to say, I was over-ruled; some people just have no imagination. 
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;Okay, you all aren’t having too much luck with this guessing game yet; I guess the clues are &lt;i&gt;a little&lt;/i&gt; obscure. Here’s where we stand on the hints in regards to my new activity:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p style="text-indent:-0.25in;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:Wingdings"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;v&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font:7pt 'Times New Roman'"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;A pair of women’s gloves&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p style="text-indent:-0.25in;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:Wingdings"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;v&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font:7pt 'Times New Roman'"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;A fundraiser tea party&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;And today’s hint:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
&lt;p style="text-indent:-0.25in;tab-stops:list .5in"&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:Wingdings"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;v&lt;/font&gt;&lt;span style="font:7pt 'Times New Roman'"&gt;     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Index cards filled with notes&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:green;font-family:'Comic Sans MS'"&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;&lt;font color="#800000"&gt;I will tell you that I have mentioned this activity in my blog archives~ check out the first 4 months.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
