Happy Friday the 13th everyone!  

My soon-to-be-step-brother's birthday is today.  He and his brother were both born on Friday the 13th - one in April, the other in August. Happy Birthday Bryan (he just had baby #2 the other day too)!

I normally don't have any bad luck - usually just the opposite.  I hope today follows suit with that.  I noticed when I started writing this post that I left my wedding ring at home.  I always take it off when I take a shower, and this morning I left it in the bathroom.  I feel naked without it - I'm constantly reaching over and touching it throughout the day.

Also, today's Fun Facts - all Friday the 13th related, of course: 

1 // According to folklorists, there is no written evidence for a "Friday the 13th" superstition before the 19th century.

2 // The fear of Friday the 13th has been called friggatriskaidekaphobia, or paraskevidekatriaphobia.

3 // The longest period that can occur without a Friday the 13th is fourteen months.

4 // The 13th day of the month is slightly more likely to be a Friday than any other day of the week.

5 // The Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVS) on June 12, 2008, stated that "fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays, because people are preventatively more careful or just stay home.
