I AM SO PROUD....
...Rachel made a 93 on the hardest test she has ever taken. It was for Chemistry. She was hoping she made at least a C on it. Go Baby!
...Rachel tried Catfish last night at McCullums and she liked it. We went to celebrate her 93 and to get my catfish fix. She told me not to tell Tim, and the next time we all went she was going to order it and watch him flip out.
...I just ate a turkey sandwich with turkey meat that said "Sell by Nov 14th." If you know anything about me, you would realize what a big step that was for me! I am a stickler for expiration, sell buy dates! Hope I don't get sick.

UNINSPIRED....
I THOUGHT I POSTED THIS YESTERDAY...IT WAS UNDER DRAFT
I have been uninspired lately. From my blog, to everything. Not really much to blog about because I really haven't done anything fun, funny or exciting. Really, no one around me has either.
I spent my weekend with my dog on the couch, either cross-stitching or watching TV or napping. That is it.
The most energy I spent was going to the cross-stitch store on Saturday, then going to eat at Cracker Barrel with TCW yesterday. (and no, Strawberry Shortcake Heaven #92 was not there! - hope she didn't read my blog then quit! - yeah, right).
I should have made myself shower and gone to Andy's Birthday celebration at the Brick on Saturday...I am sure I would have had a lot to blog about then!
Oh, TCW did tell me a funny story about Btut. He was sitting at the bar during Andy's party, watching the football game, and the guys next to him were paying their tab and leaving. So, he called Btut over to sit there when they got up. Well, Btut started talking to them, finding out all about them, just gabbing away for about 10 minutes. Then, all of a sudden, she was like "Ok, it is time for ya'll to leave so I can sit down." Totally Btut! Love.

FRIDAY THE 13TH
...FROM WIKIPEDIA....
Paraskevidekatriaphobia, or an irrational fear of Friday the 13th,
Friday the 13th occurs when the thirteenth day of a month falls on Friday, which superstition holds to be a day of good or bad luck. In the Gregorian calendar, this day occurs at least once, but at most three times a year. Any month's 13th day will fall on a Friday if the month starts on a Sunday. In 2009 this applies to the months of February, March, and November. The next year to have three Friday the 13th dates will be 2015.[1]

In 2009 this applies to the months of February, March, and November. The next year to have three Friday the 13th dates will be 2015.[1]
One theory states that it is a modern amalgamation of two older superstitions: that thirteen is an unlucky number and that Friday is an unlucky day.
In numerology, the number twelve is considered the number of completeness, as reflected in the twelve months of the year, twelve signs of the zodiac, twelve hours of the clock, twelve tribes of Israel, twelve Apostles of Jesus, twelve gods of Olympus, etc., whereas the number thirteen was considered irregular, transgressing this completeness. There is also a superstition, thought by some to derive from the Last Supper or a Norse myth, that having thirteen people seated at a table will result in the death of one of the diners.
Friday has been considered an unlucky day at least since the 14th century's The Canterbury Tales[4], and many other professions have regarded Friday as an unlucky day to undertake journeys or begin new projects. Black Friday has been associated with stock market crashes and other disasters since the 1800s.[7][10] It has also been suggested that Friday has been considered an unlucky day because, according to Christian scripture and tradition, Jesus was crucified on a Friday.[11]
This has always been a luck day for me!
Sorry not much content this week on the blog....not feeling very inspired.
