Happy 8/8/08! Where did the past 20 years go?!?

My boss and I were talking yesterday about today being 8/8/08 and now I am feeling very old. On 8/8/88, my best friend Christie and I celebrated the day by doing a bunch of things related to 8s. We made a joke of it all day and had fun with it, so it is a day that sticks out in my memory. I can't believe it was 20 years ago!! 10, maybe! Not 20! It is strange to be at the age when you can suddenly recall that something that seems like yesterday was 20 years ago. I remember as a kid my grandma saying that she hadn't seen someone for 15 years and I couldn't even imagine that. Now I'm one of those old people that can talk about how it was a"back then," before CDs and cell phones and email and Internet and on and on and on. :) I even had to walk to middle school! Uphill both ways! In the snow!
