FAIL

I have all the spatial intelligence of a drunken weeble wobble toy. I swear I'd get lost in a jail cell. 

No, really. Proof?
  • I have, while holding a map, directed my husband to drive "up."
  • I once pulled up to a gas station pump three times in an attempt to get my gas tank on the right side of the pump.  Even acknowledging that sometimes people mess up on their initial pull up, who does it twice in one visit?
So I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at my latest spatial fail.

Today, I found myself with a free half hour.  I attempted to finally arrange 13 pictures of Angelfish into a collage frame, one small picture for each month of her first year and a large photo.  The small photos are in two equal rows of six, and the large picture is to the left.  It (should) match an identical frame I did for Clownfish years ago.  I even numbered the pictures on the back in order so I wouldn't mess up.

In my first attempt, I realized that I had begun arranging the numbers in descending order.  I carefully removed all of the pictures from the matte and tried again.  In my second attempt, I realized I had arranged the entire collage is the mirror image (or upside down) of the one I had done for my son -- big picture to the right.  It looks fine on its own as is, but I'll have to redo it... otherwise, when I make one for Lionfish next year, one of the three will be different.  Unless I find a whole other way to mess up.

Sigh.
