Could it be a lucky day?
Many people seem to think so.
We have the Olympics, weddings planned for this unique date, and a rise in lotto tickets being sold.
It's pretty cool, if you think about it. One of the unique things about us being alive for the turn of a Century is being around to see 1-1-01, 4-4-04 (Aidan almost could have been born on that date), of course 5-5-05, 6-6-06, 7-7-07, and now 8-8-08.
Eight has always been a good number for me: I was born on the 8th, and I am the youngest of 8 kids.
We don't have anything special planned for today. I do have an unused poster board. Maybe we'll finger paint a huge "8", then once that dries, cut out small pictures form the boys of today, and glue them on. They can make and hang up their own 8-8-08 poster.
As for it being a lucky day, I'll just count on my normal good luck: having 2 cute little boys, a hard-working husband who laughs at my dumb jokes, and the calm of the weekend.
Have a good Friday!

In the words of the great Michael Scott, "It happens once every billion years." So enjoy it while it lasts!
I sure hope it is a lucky day. We could hear some good news!!Maybe That's why Jack woke up @ 8am today. :(
Sue-
I do hope you guys get good news today. You deserve it!
As for Jack waking up at EIGHT, I don't think that's anything to complain about! That's sleeping IN for Aidan!

Michael Scott is a most intelligent man.
I could use some good luck today--I have a doctors appointment--hee hee hee! Andy Andy could sure use some good luck today, too! So, Good Luck to all of us!
(Whisper: Maybe you'll get your house today--Shhhhh!)
we've been saying prayers that they accept your offer on the house :)
don't worry, tomorrow I have to get up @ 7am!! :(
I don't know if you watched the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics (we saw some of it - The Birds Nest - I thought of you). Anyway... they said like all these people bought lottery tickets, got wedding licenses and something else a huge increase. Crazy!!!
