8/8/08

Today is a pretty cool day, it's 8/8/08. The Chinese consider today, 08/08/08, to be the luckiest day of the year if not the whole decade because it bears the number 8 which is the luckiest number for them. Number 8 is said to be lucky because it sounds like the Chinese word for prosperity and the intertwining loop symbolizes infinity which makes it a perfet day to get married. That would be so cool--but heck, I was married on Tax Day 2000!!!

The Beijing Olympics held it's opening ceremonies today and many couples--Chinese or not-- are going to get married too!

I hope today is a lucky day! We didn't do much except go to the dentist this morning and then out to lunch. Now we are home packing getting ready to go visit my Aunt Donna, Uncle Jim, Soup Mem & Ray in New York. So far it's not too lucky...but we'll see, the day isn't over yet! :)

Do you believe that the day is lucky? Did you do anything special to celebrate? Let us know!!
