*QOTD: Leap Day*

Since you have an opportunity to confess what *won't* be on the record today, what will you do to make this extra day count?

Extra points to anyone who tells a story of proposing to their DH!

    That's a really cool idea!  I haven't planned anything special.  Since there are protestors at our office, I might not even leave the building 'til 5.

  • Huh. It never really occurred to me to do anything differently. This is the second reference I've seen today about women proposing. Is that a thing?
  • I guess I didn't realize you do anything different for leap day.  Sorry to say I have nothing planned except yet another day of work.

    Well, since today doesn't count, why not follow Jenna's lead and do a sexual walkabout?

  • No Leap Day plans here.  Work, cook dinner, harrass neighbors (see FFC post); that's all I've got.

    Same.  If it wasn't raining I might be tempted to try and go out tonight, but alas I don't feel like dealing with the rain.

    Who is Jenna and what is a sexual walkabout?

    To make today count, I'm updating my resume and applying for a new job.

  • Also, it's Leap Year on Hump Day.  Isn't that kind of like Haley's Comet or something?

    I was referencing 30 Rock with the blue and yellow and Leap Year William talk - Jenna is one of the characters :-) She is on a sexual walkabout to prove to herself that she is actually getting everything she needs from her boyfriend. That makes sense for Jenna, lol.

  • I'm going to workout #4 in 4 days today, so I'm slightly proud of myself.  Unfortunately, I feel like I popped a rib out of place (I know I didn't, but that is what it feels like) and it hurts to breathe.

  • We snagged Table 21 reservations at VOLT after a cancellation, so that's special.  But wasn't exactly planned specifically for today, we just got lucky.  So I guess I will be stuffing my face as well -- 21 courses woohoo!

  • I went to bed at 8:30 last night and got up at 7:30 this morning - there were wake-ups in between with DS but I slept, a lot.  It felt great.  I would love to do the same tonight but DH wants to spend some time together.  Le sigh.
  • No plans here- just another day to me. Also, I don't know any of these leap-day references, so I feel culturally ignorant. Embarrassed

    i heard about this as a kid, i think . . . and now it's the main thing i associate with leap day

    i didn't/don't do anything differently

  • I have a migraine and plan on being a lump on the couch all day.  It's the perfect day for it!

    To make today count, I made this mildly humorous gif of my dog.  It looks like he's watching a tennis match!

    I got it before the explanation and was thinking "YOU are my people!" That episode was hilarious.

  • Not doing anything out of the ordinary, but one nice thing is that we had our first date and got married on the 29th (January and May, respectively), so every month we reserve the 29th for a just-us "month-iversary." This month we actually get to celebrate it on the 29th instead of the 28th or 1st.

  • Not particularly scintillating, but I ate the whole sandwich and all of the fries at lunch. And later there will be cookies.
