So how are you celebrating it? Already looking forward to 05/05/05 as that will be a big day! (Years ago, I had a party on 7/7/77 and we all drank 7-7’s at exactly 7:07…I have to think of something to do on 050505 and considering it is Cinco de Mayo, there has to be a theme somewhere…any suggestions welcomed!) ---
