OK...... I ll try explain, because I am somewhere in between.
First of all, in Argentina (where I lived for some years) is TUESDAY 13th, they even have funny rhyme that says on Tue 13th, don't get married or travel and something else
I'm not too superstitious the way Carol
@Iowan is, I don;'t pay much attention to the ladder walking, or even black cats, though I have to admit, I heard some said if you do cross path with a black cat you needed to make yourself turn around your self -like a pirouette? not sure how to explain, something like this
to cut the bad luck, so sometimes I do it mentally
Now my kind of superstition comes from my Syrian mum, from very early age, she "educated" us in the power of the "evil eye" and gave us devices to protect us, like everything that has an eye, and in their community, is the color blue, light blue, also the number 5, all things against people's envy/jealousy.
I tried with all my strength not to go with it, but I have to admit she has had more influence in my sub-conscious mind than I ever thought...
My thing is more like this:
We're a little superstitious here. My husband has a specific route he must walk to Wrigley Field, because it was the route he walked last year during the World Series. It wasn't "working" as well this year, so he walked my route on Monday and they won... so my route is his new route! lol! (And there's nothing really superstitious about my route... I just usually walk the way that requires me to cross the fewest streets)
No big plans tonight... my husband flies home this morning, my son works right after school and my daughter is performing at a benefit gala thing. Other than that... sleep as we were up way to late watching baseball last night!
I know I have clothes that I consider to be lucky ones, and if I wore a perfume on a day when all was great, I will tend to wear it again and again.... and fear a bit if I don't or change it, something could go wrong.... things like that which my rational mind tells me is ridiculous...but keep doing it anyway
I'm not a fan of gory either. I don't think that's scary, just gross, and I love What Lies Beneath! I'm watching a movie called Within on HBO. I'd never heard of it, but it's one of those people move in to a new house and creepy stuff happens kinds of movie.
couldn't agree more. I have never liked gory, but up until I had Sarita, I LOVED scary books and movies. The Shining was my fave for quiet a while (the book) and then the movie too.
These days I will once in a while watch something, but I don't much enjoy, makes me nervous.. I think it was 3 years ago we watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose and another one on that type with Antony Hopkins but watched it with Sarita and still, couldn't sleep at all that night LOL
didn't do anything yesterday but then again, I don't do anything much these days!!!!
We don't have anything planned so I can actually sit down at my computer and get caught up on some tasks that I've needed to do since last weekend and then hopefully I will have some creative time to paint or scrap too!
Otherwise a normal friday for me- house chores (but since kids are home they have to help!
