Leap Day Post

February 29, 2008 by Elaine

Wow, this is so cool, here we are at our extra day for the year! Yeah, it messes up the perfect 4-week month of February, but hey, it’s a whole additional day, how often do we get that?? (well… “Every four years actually, Elaine” – I know that’s what y’all are sayin’) Fine.

I am not completely sure why, but for some reason this year I am seeing it as a gift – maybe because this actually worked out to be a month where the “hus” gets 3 paychecks! Surely that’s it.

Anyway… I have a couple of memes that I need to take care of and I may do one of them later today, but right now, I have more important things to address before the boys and I run out to hang with our playgroup.

I have to, by the power of all that is humorous and funny in this world, share this with my readers. WARNING: It is not very P.C. (mostly just the title of the blog) but I know some of you will find this quite amusing. I was recently alerted to this blog and my husband and I just lost it a moment ago on the phone together because in this post are almost the EXACT two small appliances that we purchased at the holidays.

Again, if it offends anyone, I apologize, but if you read some of it I promise, you will find yourself laughing. Promise.

Oh, and tell me, what are you doing with your “extra” day? Do you have anything special planned or are you just doing your regular old thing? Let me know… Happy Leap Day!

    that site is funny, mostly because it’s true.

    I especially agree about Canada being the perfect place to live IF only the weather were better.

    Of that I can speak from personal experience!

    No Elaine, YOU are the coolest!

    I’ve heard about that site, but haven’t gotten the chance to read it. Pretty funny!

    And your baby is adorable!

    And if you’re wondering where I came from…you left a comment for me a LOOOOONG time ago and I may just be getting back to it. Been one of those kinds of months…:)
