the friday five

1. Are you superstitious? No. I pretend to be with regards to sports, but no……I’m really not.

2. What extremes have you heard of someone going to in the name of superstition?My MIL is the most superstitious person that I know. She has a fit if you drop a tea towel, because that means you’re getting company. If she enters your house through the front door, she has to exit through the same door (or she won’t leave). You dare not open an umbrella indoors to dry out, or she goes into fits. The list goes on.

3. Believer or not, what’s your favorite superstition? That if I wear my Radek Dvorak jersey to the Oilers games, they WILL win!!

4. Do you believe in luck? If yes, do you have a lucky number/article of clothing/ritual? I believe more in streaks of good or bad luck. We’ve recently been on a real streak of vehicle bad luck. While sometimes we seem to fall in a bucket of shit and still come up smelling like roses!

5. Do you believe in astrology? Why or why not? No… I’m such a cynic that I don’t believe in astrology at all! It’s fun to read, but I never take it seriously. Kinda like a fortune cookie.

You have just won one million dollars:

1. Who do you call first? I’d call home…….whoever was home!

3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else? I’d buy our teens a small house in the City to live in for the next few years. It’s their plan to move out together in another year’s time anyways, so I’d buy a second house and let them live there.

4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom? I’d definitely donate quite a bit of it to different charities throughout the year! I’d buy the kids new vehicles too, and then I’d know they’d be set!

5. Do you invest any? If so, how? NO!! I’m not a gambler by any means! I’d buy the second home, and rent it out after my kids moved out, but that’s the only investment I’d make!
