I have a weird love for NUMBERS.

Each number has it's own "personality" to me. Each one invokes memories ~ good or bad.
#1 ~ Simple, solitude, pure.
#2 ~ For me - Conflict, disharmony - reminds me of my 2 year battle with cancer/treatment.
#3 ~ Divine, magical, sensuous. (One of my most favorite numbers.)
#4 ~ Sturdy, strong & brave.
#5 ~ Possibility, mystery.

In school I absolutely LOVED math! Trigonometry, geometry & algebra - OH MY! In my quest for vintage treasures, I am always finding & buying old arithmetic books, game pieces with numbers on them, rulers & math flashcards.
I love to COUNT! Do you ever do that? Do you have "rituals" that involve numbers & counting? Some of mine are :
* Counting as I brush my teeth to make sure I spend at least 30 seconds on each quadrant of my mouth.
* Everything must end with an ODD number.....or be tuned to an ODD number.....or be collected/arranged/grouped/displayed in ODD numbers.
* Counting as I exercise, counting objects as I pass them or observe them.
* I am most comfortable when things are lined up, neat & orderly ~ MEASURED ~ everything in it's place.....but it is rarely actually like that in "real" life.
* I measure out my food now.
* When making art I have been known to "measure" things to make sure they are "just right". Example: Is the border on that card exactly 1/4" all the way around?
Yes....I am just this side of being "A Beautiful Mind" or Obsessive Compulsive I know.
And now.......my FAVORITE NUMBER.......
It's the PERFECT number for me!
I was born on the 27th of January and.....
3 x 3 x 3 (or 3 cubed) = 27!!!!! (3 being my 2nd favorite number.)
