Friday the 13th

Triskaidekaphobia - fear of the number 13. Nope. Not here. I enjoy watching those that do have a problem with today, however. My Mom, the most superstitious person on the face of the earth is one. I'm sure she's hiding out today! I'll have to call her later and see...

Since it's a numbers kind of day - I present this:

You Are 35% Left Brained, 65% Right Brained

The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning. Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others. If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic. Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet. The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility. Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way. If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art. Your right brain prefers day dreaming, philosophy, and sports.

Are You Right or Left Brained?

This does not surprise me inthe least - I am left handed, which means that my right brain is the controlling side. ALthough I currently work as a Sales Analyst, my background is graphic design, and I love to paint watercolours and sketch with charcoals. I'm a huge sports fan, and a big day dreamer. Philosophy? sometimes, deppending on my mood and the people I am talking to.

What's interesting about my lefthandedness - I knit "right handed" - i.e., I knit from the left needle to the right needle. I golf right handed, and bat right handed, although I throw (curling rocks, balls, etc) left handed. So, with that, and my aptitude for numbers, there is some right brain control trying to fight it's way out.

My dad always said, left handed people are the only ones in their right mind!

Tuscany is coming along nicely - I figured if I did 5 rows a night (each row is over 300 stitches now), I'd be good for my self imposed deadline of the 28th. Last night I did 8 rows without even thinking about it. I should be fine...
