Oh-eight, oh-eight, oh-eight. I heard the Chinese chose this particular date -- or lobbied hard for the Olympics in '08 so's they could choose this date -- because 8 is the most auspicious of digits in their culture. Well, I've watched this one coming with a smile on my face, because ever since I found out that my friend Deborah Partridge was born on 08-08-58, I've been able to figure that 08-08-08 would mark her 50th.
Happy Birthday, Deb! You survivor you!
When I saw 08-08-08 coming, I knew I must---MUST!---break my silence and blog. I do enjoy the number-patterned dates --- and that's about as far as my love of numbers goes. Me and math? Nahhh...
But listen! There's a smack beautiful storm right on top of me as I type. Here in the desert this time of year, a gardener can see storms pouring rain all around, but nary a drop comes her way. So I really must go pull a big plastic garbage can under the downspout.
I'll be back. And soon!
Love Love Gush!
Sheila

Deborah here. Didn't even know until today that you had blogged my b-day, Sheila. Thanks for thinking of me. And as a result, now I have a chance to be in touch with another old friend, Julie Miller, who saw the comment. This 50/40 phenomenon just keeps riding the wave, doesn't it?
Love and hugs to you.
