Happy Friday the 13th everyone! This is a day I always enjoy, as 13 is my lucky number and also my favorite number. It's also my jersey number on my paintball team.
I always look forward throughout the year to any months in which we have a Friday the 13th. Unfortunately, most of the time I'm working on those days, so I don't really have the opportunity to do much in celebration. However, on this particular Friday the 13th, I don't have to work today, so I have the whole day to plan fun and mischievous things to do.
Does this day bother anyone out there in myLot land? I know a lot of people used to be superstitious, but it seems to me these days less and less people are that way.

I guess maybe our level of superstition is based on our past experiences. If something bad or embarrassing happened to me on a Friday the 13th, I might be more inclined to not like the day as much.

@DianneN The number 13 became my lucky number because whenever I played sports, nobody wanted to pick 13 because they thought it was unlucky, so I chose it. I was very successful at every sport I played, so by default 13 became my lucky number.

Friday the 13th doesn't bother me. I've just made a pot of beanie weenies and then crawled back in bed. Like usual, I'll sleep most of the day away.

@moffittjc It's completely overcast here and looks like it could start pouring any minute. We have a 70% chance of rain/storms now and will have a 100% chance of rain/storms this afternoon/evening/overnight. And the same Saturday and Sunday.

It's a gorgeous day here in Florida, not sure if it's the same where you live, but on a day like today I want to be outside much more than I want to be snuggled in bed sleeping.

It seems more and more people are embracing the fun aspect of Friday the 13th. I have a date planned for tonight, but if I didn't then I would totally watch a marathon of all the Friday the 13th movies!

Great news, you get another Friday the 13th next month!! Hooray for February and its 28 days! 
Nope, not superstitious…except when it comes to telling my brother there’s a no-hitter going on somewhere in baseball. He’ll turn it on and it’ll get broken up immediately.

@moffittjc — if it’s the evil empire (Y*nk**s) I’ll tell him in the first inning!

Oh no, I guess it wasn't THEIR lucky day! Now they're probably going to be very superstitious in the future whenever a Friday the 13th rolls around.

I’m not superstitious. Some people’s superstitions boggle my mind.

I honestly think the Friday the 13th hype is just that--hype. In the current state of our world, that's the least of our problems, haha....I am glad you have planned some fun things for the day. Some superstitions are fun, but often people carry them way too far.
I've not heard you discuss your paintball for quite some time. Did I just miss you posting about it?
